Location was great, walking distance to everything, bike rentals for 15 euros a day Breakfast was not included, but was offered at a great price (less than 4 euros for eggs, toast and ham) and served til noon. Wifi was free, worked in the lobby area. we had the three room hostel, very very small, obvious rodent problem.

The hostel is located a bit away from the main city square, so its relatively quite. However, it is well connected with trams. There is a canal flowing right outside the hostel, so the rooms have a nice view. The common area was ok and you can get boiling water for instant coffee or pot noodles from the reception. The room was provided with a locker and overall, it was an ok-ok room. No complaints!

We arrived at the hotel, and as soon as we entered the hostel it stank and was grimy. The receptionist was rude, and kept us waitng, before informing us we would have to wait to check in, even though we were told we could do this anytime after 12. Well 3 hours later we got to our room....
and this after being charged way over what we were told we would have to, like £60 over!

It was so bad, that i took one look and burst into tears.

Dirty, Cramped, Hot, neon lighting, graffit, smashed furniture.....

and worst of all...a toal strange man in our room.

Now we were aware that this may happen and had payed extra to ensure we had the room to ourselves, but the hotel were unhelpful and refused to move the man or refund our extra money!

Mayb it still wouldnt have been so bad but the man kept trying to talk to me, staring at me, and when we went for a walk and came back he was sitting on our friend we had left behinds bed, watching him sleep....

Unsafe to say the least, maybe he was a nice guy, maybe not....the point is the hoselt should never have put us in that position, especially as we paid more to avoid it!!

Despite argeing over this, we felt we had paid under false info, no refund.

We moved hotel just around the corner (Hotel la bonheme) and had a lovely time!


Also it was gay pride when we went (accidentally, we dnt no when booking) sooooo uch fun =]

We stayed in this hostel for one night while visiting a nephew in Amsterdam. As this is a hostel, the facilities are basic but they are very well kept. Bed rooms are tidy and clean as are the toilets and showers. Also the common room is cosy and well kept. Breakfast is not included but can be bought at a reasonable price. As usual with hostels, a deposit is asked for key and locker. Sheets are included (which is nice).

The hostel is central located which makes it very easy to get to. You also get a code so that you can enter late. Normally I am not too fund of hostels, but this one was quite ok and I could imagine have stayed here for an extra night.
