St Christopher's at The Winston Reviews

In 5 years of traveling I have not left one bad review, but I have to say I did NOT like this hostel nor would I recommend it. It's very loud because the bar is right underneath, there are no common rooms to meet other travelers except the bar/beer garden but those are accessible by general public as well so anyone can walk in, the facilities need renewing. I tried to have a shower and the whole bathroom was under water. The staff wasn't very helpful. Big hostel, no character.

Will definitely stay here again. Staff in particular is amazing.

The room was tiny! And overpriced. But the location is fantastic, right in the red light district, and the downstairs bar always has a good vibe, & 25% of meals!! Breakfast was good but could of been improved by the addition of a toaster!

The hostel is a really laid back cool place located in the heart of everything you need! The music in the bar was excellent all staff are very friendly and will happily come back to the winston on my next trip!

Great location, helpful staff, extremely safe places, and there is a fantastic bar at ground floor. Just great! Yet I arrive on New Year's Day, so the price was actually doubled (over 40 Euros per night). This is probably the only downside. Ah, another minor issue is that the reception is too small, so do expect to wait longer when you want to ask any questions.

Overall a great hostel; however, it was a bit pricey. We also did stay during New Years so I'm sure that's why. Breakfast was decent, room was cleaned daily, downstairs bar was always exciting and had pretty good food and drink specials. Staff was friendly. Location was great-right near red light district and Dam Square. You have to pay to store your luggage, which was uncommon at most of the other hostels I've stayed at. Other than that, a nice place to stay.

Your hostel had wonderful staff both at reception and at the bar. The private suit we had wasreally good for a hostel. we was really happy with it.

The hostel's club Winston was open far later than the advertised 3am time. It was so loud that my entire room vibrated from the noise. Items in the bathroom were literally falling off the shelves!! I will never stay here again nor will I recommend it to my friends.

It was awesome we lived it!!! Def will come back location wins!

I founded really disappointing that one has to pay for the locker service, when one arrives before the check in time o leaves later. I paid 4€ the day I arrived and 4€ more the day I left, when I have stayed in many hostels that offer a room for your luggage for free. The rooms were also quite noisy.

This hostel was amazing, great food thats discounted for its guests, smoking area for the stoners (which does get full quickly) & is in such a good location with coffee shops, souviner & food shops literally 100 meters max away...I'm planning to go again in March with more friends & definitely looking to stay here again..the music isn't as bad as some drama queens make out but they give you free ear plugs anyway..only negative here is smoking room area could be bigger. Everything else - amazing

The towels change rules wasn't followed.

Great hostel, good music downstairs in the bar and atmosphere. If you are in Amsterdam just for visiting and have to wake up early, you should probably look somewhere else though.

Very nice staff, bit expensive. Location is awesome.

Excellent location, really close to the central train station and the Red Light district. The room was big and clean. There is a pub on the ground floor with good food and drinks.

Pretty decent hostel. Bar was really good; cheap drinks deals, awesome food and the music was always decent. Staff were great, helped with all sorts of things. The beds were without question the comfiest hostel beds I've ever slept on. Only downside was in some of the dodgy looking people that were kicking about in the hostel, but in the world capital of weed you expect a tattooed face every now and again!

I loved this hostel! They were so kind and helpful from the minute we arrived to the minute we checked out. My friend and I had never been to Amsterdam before, and so the staff at reception were kind enough to point out (on free maps) were to go for nights out, museums, which trams to catch etc. Really enjoyed our time here - our room was clean, spacious for two people, en suite was perfect, hostel's location was AMAZING - 30 seconds from Dam Square, what more could you want! No faults at all!

The red light district is at your back door. Thankfully the security in the room and around the hostel at night was good. Room was nice and clean with a good shower, and the bar is a nice area to relax. Most of the pub crawls visit later on in the night.

Great Hostel, with the exception that it was next door to a nightclub.... Our room was literally vibrating at some points due to the heavy bass. That being said, they supplied us with free earplugs, and were very understanding of the situation, and once we had them we slept perfectly fine. Location is great, being right near the Central Station, Dam Square and the red light district.

Great staff and great hostel! Couldnt have asked for more!
