Shelter Jordan Reviews

Nice Place, happy and lively staff...though I was kept out for hours due to cleaning..breakfast too light for people who eat a lot like me. It was a nice experience all together though.

I found this to be an oasis. The atmosphere is friendly, safe, life-enhancing. The staff was young and friendly.

Only letting you have one free hot drink at breakfast was a bit mean. The lighting in the 18 bed dorm was very dim. None of the snacks advertised for sale in the cafe were available.

Very recommended if you like to stay in a calm and safe place.

The hostel was easy to find (the directions in the eMail were very helpful) and the staff was really friendly and able to help me with all the questions I had.

the place was in a good location, 20 min walk from Central Station. Food was ok, always had to ask for more. Staff where nice and friendly. Had lockers in each room for each person but I couldnt fit my pack in so had to keep it under the bottom bunk when I was on the top. Lack of power points for each room. One point for 6 bed dorm.

bathing towels should be provided.

good position, helpful staff, safe place close to main attractions

It was a great place! A tad small, but not uncomfortable! I stayed a night in a 6-bed dormitory and was very satisfied. Too bad there wasn't any available place for me to stay for the rest of my trip, so I had to move to another hostel. Loved that I had internet connection all the way to my room too! I do, however, feel that there should be a power point for each bed. It's slightly inconvenient to have to go down to the cafe to charge my phone. Other than that. great place!

Nice and peaceful location near the city center

We were very satisfied by our stay at the Shelter Jordan. Everyone was very helpful and friendly, we met some really intresting people and had a lot of fun at the common room! the rooms and bathrooms were very clean and we had no complaint about anything. It isn't at the center of Amsterdam but it's ony a 10-15 minute walk, so its perfect. Also the food and coffee was really good and cheap. I fully recommend Shelter Jordan!

You get what you pay for here. Large single sex dorm, bunk beds are extremely close together which means no privacy. A lot of snoring and smells (ear plugs and padlocks must be purchased). In saying that, this was the second time I have stayed at Shelter Jordan and I came back because it is cheap. The location in Jordaan is good, the area is classy with a lot of boutiques and giving a real feel for Amsterdam. Summary: place to sleep in good location - thats it.

I was really upset about the Shelter Jordan. Firstly, I booked two months before to avoid any problems that I could have. But when I arrived the staff said that I had to change the room EVERY DAY. The breakfast is poor. The hostel doesn't have a good security, you need to show a piece of paper in the front door. Doesn't have plugs in the room to charge the batteries, you need to give to the staffs to do that. The blankets was awful, really dirty with a lot of hair on it and the mattress stained

I was pleasantly surprise when I checked in.. In fact I already liked the place in the first 15 minutes. Really did not expect to see such a good enviroment. The place was clean and the free breakfast was always served hot and with good choices. Less than 2 minutes of walking distance from the bus stop and the tram station !

I liked that Shelter Jordaan had different floors for men and women. Personal was very polite and helpful. Breakfast was good, healthy and enough food. There was possibility for other meals too in the restaurant downstairs. Everything was clean and peaceful. The hostel has good connections to the airport and only four stops from the central station. The only problem was to suddenly move to another room without knowing it before, but I suppose that there was a good reason for that.

I'm totally satisfied with my stay here, nothing to complain!

it is all "Excellent" I have nothing else to say but wrecommand it to my friends!

The staff were all nice, friendly and accommodating. It was a wonderful Christian shelter in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. I loved the free breakfast of fresh milk, orange-peach juice, friend egg & ham sandwich! I forgot the name of the friendly staff I conversed with while having my breakfast (and accessing the free wifi); he gave me a lot of insights about one of their controversial multi-national companies which incidentally operates in my country. God will richly bless you.

it was confortable

The rating provided for this hostel seems a bit high when comparing hostels with Silat facilities and standards. There is no being under the influence of alcohol, soft/hard drugs which should be made clear ahead of time and no food in hostel makes eating more difficult. Good hostel if you would like to connect religiously.
