The dorm room was fine. But this is not a good hostel for a solo traveller, there is no communal area that I found where you could get to meet like-minded solo travellers. The entire downstairs has been turned into a huge bar with fairly loud music and a strong American theme, a difficult environment to get to kmow people. It was good value for money.

I had a very pleasant stay at St Christopher’s Berlin for two nights. This was my first experience staying in a hostel and it was very positive. The hostel staff were friendly and attentive and very pleasant when I checked in. My room was clean, well-kept and maintained and my roommates were also friendly. The hostel had a good lively buzz about it and it was very easy to meet others and go out exploring Amsterdam and the local sights. This was a very good experience for me as a solo traveller.

Hostelworld says

St Christopher's at the Winston has been recommended by Hostelworld staff as ideal for "anyone who wants to stay close to the Red Light district and coffee shops". This "very exciting" hostel was voted the most popular in Amsterdam at the 2011 Hoscars, and it's not hard to see why; it includes a bar, beer garden, and smoking area, with discounts on food and drink in the bar downstairs. There are daily walking tours and free earplugs, plus an elevator"an uncommon feature in Amsterdam buildings and useful for carrying heavy luggage.
