Amsterdam is a very beautiful city and I was delighted to have chosen such a good hostel in a great location. I either walked everywhere or used the canal bus. I had a 4-bedroom mixed dorm and met some interesting people. The smoking room was usually crowded. The free breakfast was ok. The bar/reception area had free wi-fi. I wish there were lockers to lock my valuables myself but the staff were nice enough to hold them are reception. I would definitely stay here again.

The hostel is in a great location, but is dirty. Rooms and shower felt gross, hostel is fairly old and caters to the standard dirty stoner crowd.

This hostel was AMAZING!!! The staff were super cool and helpful (and cute!) and I cant decide what aspects of the hostel were better, from the 2 for one drinks, to the epic location, to the free towels, pool table, and wifi, to the live killer DJ that played the best music, the crowd of cool people, i dont know i really had the best time, and I would recommend it to anyone going to Amsterdam. Major Major Thumbs up!!!

Stayed here on 23rd March for the weekend. The hostel was excellent, had a really good time and met some lovely people. The staff were all very helpful and it was nice to have the breakfast included too. I am planning another trip to Amsterdam in October and will proabably stay here again. The only con for this place is that it didnt have a seperate bathroom on each floor, it would of been good to have a space to have a shower and then get changed. Although the showers at the hostel were ace!
