Shelter Jordan Reviews

If you just need a bed to sleep in, shelter does the job.

Staff were really nice. Breakfast was ok, each person only given a certain amount which is not a lot but it's free so can't complain. Would definitely recommend if you're coming to Amsterdam and want to stay somewhere quiet and drug/alcohol free, you don't need to be Christian. Just one power point in my dorm room but you can get stuff charged at reception also. Wifi works well and in rooms.

I've stayed at this hostel 3 times, so it must have something going for it. It's one of the cheapest places to stay where you can be within walking distance to the centre and know that it will be clean/ safe. Some of the staff are lovely, e.g. the women on reception, however some are rly strange/ unfriendly (the man on reception, the male cleaner). Ignore this and you will be fine. I'd go back again. (i'm not religious, you don't have to be). Take earplugs - room mates may be noisy/ strange

A nice hostel with clean bathrooms and friendly staff. The only complaint I have is that several of the receptionists were new and not from Amsterdam, so it was not effective asking them for recommendations for food or things to do besides the obvious attractions. While I didn't take advantage of the kitchen besides breakfast, it does offer a full menu of food for most times of the day.

it is good if you are a backpacker and just want to find a place to stay

As you can see I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Found the staff very friendly and helpful. It is my first time in Europe and I was made to feel very welcome. I think those young people are. Doing a fantastic job.

Nice and friendly and not too far away from everything. great place to meet people particularly in the 18 bed dorm

Take care. My ipod magically disappeared after cleaning wth the room empty. Of course it was my fault for not having it stored in the closet, take good care of your belongings. The hotel offers a good location. Only one power outlet in the room is something extremely uncomfortable. Hostel need to understand that we need our phones/notebooks charged when we are on a journey, for several reasons. The rooms are very small, my pillow was so thin as my finger. But the price may be considered OK.

Some staff is very friendly but some is not.

I had an amazing stay here. The staff were incredible and so welcoming. It was nice that the staff actually took time to get to know the guest whether it was striking up conversations at the reception desk, playing games in the common room, or just sitting down to chat. It was a nice experience in that they offered a bible study and took a group to church if they wished. Even if you declined, they were not pushy about it or judgmental. I would highly recommended this hostel Christian or not.

Very lovely and kind staff. Even helped out a girl who was sick and traveling alone. Good to see the work of Jesus through them. Always have a smile available for everyone. Please keep up the great work and I am sure you will all be blessed manyfold.

Staff is very friendly and helpful, but there is way too many beds for very small rooms. You hardly have any space for your stuff. There are no power socket in the dorms and the bathrooms are a real mess.

Great hostel. Lovely location. Friendly people and the complimentary hot breakfast is a godsend.

I stayed here for 2 nights in a 4-bed female dorm n my dormmates have been nice n considerate, no problem n i had really good rest at night. The dining or rest n relax area was awesome - with ppl singing christian songs or playing the piano, comfortable n nice there. The way they serve breakfast from individual order was also nice n fresh. I would definitely recommend this.

better hostel than flying pig downtown. It is a clean and safte place for girl to stay there.

Everything was fine -good friendly atmosphere and nice location, but it would be nice if there were at least one chair in the room

We had a very good stay at this hostel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was quite simple but nice. Girls and boys stayed in different floors and I have to say I loved it.

A very friendly place to stay, café/sitting area very nice. Rooms and bathrooms basic but very clean and adequate. Good breakfast included and you can order a supper for 5 Euro.

I really had a great time in your hostel, and I was also glad to see such a christian mission! May God bless you all! Thibault from France

The only thing I missed at Shelter Jordan was very little space in the room. I found it difficult to even climb up into my bed, as it was obstructed by a radiator. There was nowhere to sit and the lockers were too small to put our personal belongings in. Although bedspreads were clean, blankets needed a good clean-up too, as they were quite a few hairs in them. Otherwise happy with nice food and friendly staff . Thank you:-)
