I booked because the photos showed bright rooms with high ceilings. Instead, I was placed in a ground floor mixed dorm with myself & five men. The ceiling was so low I couldn’t sit upright in the top bunk. One roommate was off, so I asked to move. After asking twice, I was moved to a better room, but it still looked nothing like the photos. The bedroom walls were also dirty—only the common areas seemed clean. Unfortunately, the character limit leaves no room to mention the positives!

The place is excellent. It only would be nice if there was a kitchen where one could keep their own food.

Hostelworld says

Stayokay Amsterdam Vondelpark is near the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the nightlife of Leidseplein, with a view overlooking Vondelpark. There are several buses and trams nearby which go across the city. Hostelworld guests tell us this hostel offers great value for money, "a nice mix for international visitors" and that they'd recommend it "if you want a quiet night in Amsterdam". We particularly like their highly-praised, typically Dutch breakfast of cheese, meats, eggs and more.
