“great place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

stayed here for just one night.
great place to meet new people and fellow travellers, staff were friendly, though clearly not morning people at breakfast!!
stayed in an attic room which was very interesting being over 6ft tall and had to duck all the while!
watch out for the stairs, which like every where else in holland they are very steep indeed!
very clean indeed and all basic ammenities are available including a safe.
breakfast is intersing... a loaf of bread on each table with a toaster and jam,spread,and peanut butter
boiled eggs, cheese and ham are also available, along with a hot drink machine.

i would stay here again next time i visit.
great location, around 15 mins walk to main centre of amsterdam. right next to the zoo and close to the waterlooplein flea market which is very fun!

Room Tip: the top floors are in the attic, not so good for tall people like my, if you hate stairs, try and ge...

“Good for the Price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

My husband and I stayed here on the last night of our month long trip all over Europe. The staff was friendly and helpful, the facilities were clean, and the bed was comfortable. I would actually give this a "5" rating, but that would be misleading to other reviewers. It was better than what we expected and we were pleasantly surprised after encountering some unpleasant accommodations a few times throughout out trip.

You must remember when you stay here that this is a hostel, so expect that type of atmosphere and you will be fine. The walls may be a bit thin as we heard the comings and goings of the young men who rented the room next to us all night long. The doors shut with a slam, which is what we heard all night. We are in our mid-thirties and we dealt with it just fine. Had we still been in our early 20s, this would have been even more fun. They do allow smoking in the rooms, so take that into consideration when you consider staying here.

Overall, we have fond memories of this place.

“Ok for Budget”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

The Hotel is okay for budget and short stay. I only stayed for 1 night and skip breakfast since I have to leave early. The room is not very clean but the shared bathroom is clean. They gave me the room on first floor as requested since I am with big luggage and quick response on my email. They have a tea/coffee automatic machine to be used but not 24 hours. They have available PC at the reception.
