Location was excellent, Staff was really helpful, wasn't the cleanest hotel. Don't eat the cheese for the free breakfast!

The hostel is well located, but it is very seedy considering the price. It is not as clean as it should be. It is ok if you want to stay a few days in Amsterdam and you don't have to much money. However I think you can find better hostels for this price.

The hostel is situated 20mn from walking away from the city. I actually was in a dortory and not in the hostel. It's not SUPER clean but clean anyway. Not much choice for the breakfast but we could eat a lot and it helped ! we enjoyed staying there except the creapy roommates we had ... but i recommend this place because of the very low cost and the geographic situation ! plus : the staff is very nice and they all speak almost perfect english !

Me ha parecido bien. El unico aspecto mejorable fue la calefacción que no funcionaba en nuestra habitación. Lo demás muy correcto. El personal de recepción super agradable y profesional. Muy limpio y personalizado.

People,if u ever want to enjoy ur vacation then u forget about this place.It seems cheap and nice located.In reality it is not that close to the center and the trams are expensive.They don't clean sheets at all, no kidding.Everything is dirty and in stanes.There are mice. There are bed bugs that will bite u during the night.The washroom smells like pee,the shower is just near the toilet,like 1m for the whole room.The whole hostel smells like pee.U can hear every breath in each room.AWFUL PLACE!
