Shelter Jordan Reviews

i thought the hostel was too simple for the price we paid. Good points: free breakfast and internet / Bad points: location (a little far from the main attractions) and small rooms.

tiny lockers. loud movie at night in the otherwise nice cafe. If people wanted to talk they were to disturb the movie watchers, and for those who did not want to watch the movie there was nowhere else to sit in peace. Friendly staff. good value evening menu in the cafe. nice breakfast. Would recommend.

Overall a nice hostel, however it was a shame we couldn't use the kitchen. Internet worked on the first level which was a definite plus and the bathrooms were clean, water pressure in the showers could have been a bit higher though.

I only stayed here for one night, but I would reccomend it to others for sure. It was pretty clean, quite sterile and definetly very safe. The staff were all very friendly and you could tell the staff genuinly cared about their guests. I am not christian and I was not at all confronted or bothered. This is definetly not a party hostel! If you are looking for that Amsterdam Vibe I would search somewhere else, but there was a few cool people amongst the quiet vibe. I would definetly stay again.

It was a fantastic stay! The staff were warm, friendly and helpful, and there was a great atmosphere in the place at night. If you're not into partying, drugs or drinking, this is a great place for you. Remember to bring a decent size lock.

Clean accomodation, such helpful staff and a friendly atmosphere

A nice hostel but there is not enough electrical outlets in the dormitories.

Great hostel all around, nice free breakfast. Good security and staff. My room was wayyyyy too cold, I had to wear layers to bed! I joined them for evening prayer but was kinda disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm shown by the staff there. Didn't even bother to learn my name. It shouldn't be called a christian hostel, else it meets my requirement as an ordinary one.

A very amazing hostel. It has a no alcohol policy which means that it doesn't have much of a party atmosphere but that comes as a welcome break from the overall atmosphere of Amsterdam. The staff were extremely helpful, courteous and were accommodating of my gluten intolerance - which I have found to be a rare thing in most hostels. Definitely one of my top 3.

Worst hostel ever. The night guy from the reception is very, very rude. Beds are unconfortable and there is no space in the rooms. Looks and feels like a prison. Doors slamming all the time, we just couldn't sleep. Would not recommend at all.

Séjour très agréable et accueil chaleureux. Sommeil difficile, car des départs et arrivées différés toute la nuit avec peu de discretion parfois.

It was a little anoying showing the ID whenever you had to enter the hostel, but all the rest was perfect!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. They had cheap lunch and dinner options in case you didn't want to spend money in the city.

Traveling alone (female) and felt very safe. It was clean, sheets provided for you were clean. Provided 1/2 size lockers, bring a 30mm(I think) size lock, but they do sell them at the hostel. They spoke perfect English too and could direct me where I needed to go. Has vending machines and I checked out too early but I believe they have a breakfast you can pay for. Free wifi! And provide a great Christian enviroment. Jordaan location is good but the other location is on a prostitute street.

Staff was very friendly and very helpful in helping us find place to go. Was not the cleanest hostel I have stayed in and I had to bring my own lock for the lockers or buy one for 4 euros. They sell maps for a euro also which is a first for me because normally hostels give them for free. It was nice though that they had a kitchen were you can buy dinner for cheap. All and all I would stay here again.

Rooms were warm (stayed in December), beds were comfortable with clean sheets, location was great! - about a 20 min walk to Central Station.

I enjoyed my time in this Hostel. For a Hostel it is really clean, the stuff is very friendly and although I think that they take Security a biiit to serious I appreciated that, because I never felt so secure in a hostel. The area around is gorgeous!!!!!! It is a christian hostel, and they Hand out a Little booklet about Jesus when you arrive. The staff people are all christians, its not possible NOT to realize that.Thats a bit weared, but they leave you alone so its ok.

the reception guys didn't help us to get the directions in Amsterdam even to the airport ,all they know don't know , second thing you have to pay for everything ,padlocks , maps ,..... ,third ,no fun at all , far a way from the center ,the internet service very very bad and there is just one old PC ,the room was very cold and the heater is switched on only for an hour or less ,that's make our experience for Amsterdam very bad .

the stay was good but the break fast was average,

The heaters in the room (Central Station) are not working well, so the room is quite cold, but I am sure if you have time to feedback to the staff, they will solve this problem for you. (We didn't have time to do that since we rush out every morning and forgot to do that...) One very positive impression is that on my last night of booking, I need to leave at 5am. The staff is very helpful, offering to call a taxi and also pack breakfast! Really thankful for that :D
