The hostel is in a GREAT location. It's near all of the best tourist attractions. The staff is ok, they seem to be annoyed by some of the hostel guest. The cleanliness of the building could be A LOT better. My room had old cigarette ashes on the window panes that needed to be clean and it seems as though the whole building needs to be refurbished. The atmosphere is also a little strange. One good thing is there is a 24-hour desk attendant and the bar stays open all night.

Severely average, but that's what you need sometimes. Felt secure within the hostel, and the staff were lovely. Radiators worked a bit too well, hardly a complaint though. A lot of mouldy looking stuff on the ceiling of the shower (ensuite for an 8 man dorm), but plenty of hot water. Not sure of the conditions in the shared shower facilities. Toilets were clean in the mornings, but only then. There's a place called WC about 10 mins walk away, €1 to use their super-clean toilets. Not all bad.

The hostel wasn't very clean, secure and spacious, but the location is absolutely perfect, just behind warmoestraat at 100 mt from Baba and Grasshopper and 3 minutes walk from dam square. The receptionist we met (Michele) was very nice and helpful. The price was good (14 € per night in the first days of January). So I recommend Travel hostel if you are young and you don't mind a little dust on the floor or a not very clean bathroom.

The bathroom was terrible, the smell was unbelivable. There was noise the whole night long, the receptionist was very bad-mannered and it was too expensive for what they gave.

If you are easy going and down-to-earth person, you will enjoy this hostel. The staff is super nice and fun, they were helpful with our questions about the city and really friendly. The location is excellent, right in the centre near the railway station. The room and other facilities were not the cleanest possible, but what can you expect with these prices? Go to bloody Hilton, if you want luxury, but for character, great laughs and good time, choose this hostel :)

We had a mouse in our room and nothing has been done against it. The toilets looked bad. I am allergic on mites and I had a lot of problems in the room. Sneezed the whole time. Location is cool. Near central station and near red light district.
