Very nice hostel, staff are really friendly. It is a Christian hostel so drink and drugs are not tolerated. Handy location, nice big shower room and toilets. Lockers available in the room(just need a padlock) Free phone charging at reception!

Clean and bright but sterile and not enough showers and no cooking facilities except for a microwave. At 29 euros for an 18 bed dorm that is not a hostel- it's a hotel! And please get rid of the christian messages all over- we don't go away to have religion forced down our throats. Especially not in the dining room where we don't want to lose our appetite.

The location and the atmosphere of the hostel are really good. A problem was the absence of hot water.

Excellent location, within walking distance of nearly all tourist sites in Amsterdam. Lockers were a good size, but no locks were available for rent. There were a lack of outlets, but reception offered free charging service. The 16-person room door is not lockable, but all the other rooms had lockable doors. The staff are all volunteers, and I found them really friendly.

Staff was great! The free breakfast was amazing! There was no tv room and not a lot of outlets in the bedroom, but these weren't that big of a deal to me. There is no laundry ther but a laundromat is within walking disrance.

The Staff was unfriendly. The rooms were very basic. I didn't get a good night sleep in those beds. The breakfast was very poor. Even though it was very cheap, I still believe that I paid too much for it. When you are in Amsterdam and you can't even talk dutch to the staff in the place where you are staying, that's not ok. I wouldn't go back. Next time I'm in Amsterdam I will take another place. Never again I will stay at Shelter Jordan.
