Great location, clean and quiet rooms. But did not need the entire dorm awoken by staff member announcing that one guest needed to check out in an hour. Wrong!!!!

Located near to night life area and easily accessible by tram. Need to be mindful that rooms might be located at 2, 3 or 4 floor which means that need to climb a lot of stairs! No kitchen area i.e. No hot water/micro-oven. However, there is a smoking room which is a good thing! :)

Group of 6 friends, we all enjoyed our stay ! + Really close to Leidseplein and maximum 20 min walking from everything We had a nice surprise as we got our own appartment instead of a room Welcoming and warm people - No kitchen in the appartment Could be cleaner (but we did not care that much) Problem with the payment, you have to pay cash and there is no track about how much you gave. They called us the day after and said 10€ were missing. Who was wrong? Can't say...

The timed lights in the toilets are far too quick, you'll almost be ready to start and the room will go dark, you have to stand there waving your hand in the air the entire time. Other than that it was great, love the house cat.

International Budget Hostel is in a very good location. However, one thing to be aware is that its counter closes early. So you might not be able to get help at night. I got a bed in the attics and it was a pleasant stay.

Liked the location and the lockers. The showers are way to small and get your stuff wet way too easley, only problem.

The place was alright, the lounge was nice - We were out and about most of the time and only came to the Hostel to sleep - everything was in order, the place is all together alright - a regular old hostel - They were nice enough, the beds were clean enough and that was all we needed, all in all - a nice stay...

The staff varied in friendliness and helpfulness greatly. The checkout policy was very rigid. However, the location was good being a block away from the metro and liedesplien square. Being able for rent bikes from them was also convenient

It was an alright stay, nothing special. It smelled of bleach and mold everytime we came in. Smoke room was nice. Defiantly could do better for the money you spend here.

Great location, close by to everything that you would want to go. Can hire a bike from them, if you need to go a bit further or just look around the town. There are also large lockers in the room, bit enough to everything you have.

The hostel had a really good atmosphere where i met a lot of different people. The staffs were really helpful and nice. Although there are things that could be improved. For example the shower where the nozzle is stuck to the ceiling and some minor squeaky doors. Other than that it's really good for the price!
