No hot water in November (approx 5°C outside), the voucher system is incredibly annoying, check ins and outs take hours... In a nutshell : don't book anything at this hostel.

One interesting fact : one of our friend had to check out one night earlier. Of course, the hostel didn't refund the bed rate but they also sold our friend's bed to another person, waking up the room at 2 AM and asking us to clean the bed we had paid for...

Two years ago, I travelled around the world during 360 days in 15 different countries in approx 100 different hostels and I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE !

Shelter Jordan is an outstanding place to stay. It's kept very clean, the staff are friendly and helpful and it's quiet. The linen was clean, the room is cleaned every day as are the common areas including toilets and showers. While it is a hostel they segregate the sexes. The women are on the 2nd floor and the men on the third. The hostel was very quiet while I was there.

There was plenty of hot water in the morning as well.
While a bit out of the way - a 15-20 minute walk from the rail station it's very close to the bus station - maybe 5 minutes and the walk is very scenic. The immediate neighborhood has many restaurants and markets with a wide selection to chose from pizza to steak.

We didn't stay here. Our hotel room was given away and we came here in search of a place to stay but they had no vacancy.

Nevertheless, the two guys at the counter were very helpful. They looked up places for us on the internet, got phone numbers for us, and were just awesome in our little emergency of being "bed-less" at 8pm on a sat night in amsterdam with all our luggage.

So awesome! A big thankyou to those guys!

This was my 2nd time at Shelter Jordan 1st time I stayed in a 6 bed room, was a little wary about having to stay in the 18 bed dorm no need I stayed 3 nights and enjoyed every one bed and room were clean showers and bathroom facilities were super, location is superb free breakfast 76 euros for three weekend nights what could you want staff extremely friendly. I would definitely stay here again
