The rooms and beds are really nice and location is good but the bathrooms are pretty gross. The showers really need renovating, very cramped, old, dirty, I felt uneasy to touch anything.

Hostelworld says

Hostelworld guests tell us that International Budget Hostel offers good value for price and location because it's "on the beautiful Prinsengracht canal and is easily accessible by tram from Centraal Station". Our reviewers have said this hostel is "just one minute from Leidseplein and real close to everywhere", in a neighbourhood "full of restaurants and shops". They also say they'd recommend this hostel to friends for their "spotless" facilities and helpful, enthusiastic staff. We like that this hostel rents bikes, an essential method of transport in Amsterdam.
