We like this hostel's location in a central area of Amsterdam, about ten minutes from the Centraal Station – "which was easy to get to from the airport," making it the "perfect way to experience everything Amsterdam has to offer."

This was the third hostel I’ve stayed at in Amsterdam and by the best. Amazing location, I cannot stress this enough. So close to the train station and in the hub of all of our tourist activities. Staff were friendly, and the vibes were right. We made many friends in the smoke lounge that’s open 24hours. Would 100% stay here again.
