“Spot on bit itchy though!!!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2010

Arrived in Amsterdam 20.30 no place to stay, Usual place I stay booked out walked a short distance found this place. Went in found a young friendly Scottish lassie Cheryl working behind the counter. That swung it for me!!! Got 3 nights in a double room for 210 Euro, For the bird and I. Not bad 70 a night. Got the room MASSIVE king size comfy bed it (came in handy) some cool art work on the walls and a bathroom stayed in worse!! Just try Jimmy's down the road......
Second night roof in bathroom had a big leak informed johnny and he promptly sorted it and cleaned up.
No drink behind the bar just buy the cheap drink next door at Albert Hiza the Asda of the dam and drink it in the hostel bar. Can smoke Grass and Hash in bar but no stinky Fags!!!
There is a couple of bongs that can be used in hostel sadly there was no Goz sorted that as soon as I could.
There is 2 computers half hour for 1 Euro.
Conclusion: Very nice, friendly and helpful staff (and 1 is Scottish), Hostel in an excellent location and had great atmosphere in the place itself. Bong was good could maybe supply wipes or something, Couple of good bars couple of doors down, Very nice room and was good to have a bathroom in the room for a change you will know what i mean if you have been to the dam on the cheap a few times.
The only real bad point about this place was i was ravaged by bed bugs my bird swears it was not her..... But honestly 4 days after coming home and im still itching away. So overall 8/10 for budget travellers.
Hope this helps.

“BED BUGS AND NO CONSOLATION!!!!!!!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2010

yes recently i stayed at the hotel aroza in amsterdam in which i was awakened in the morning with huge bumps in my head and on my back and face..not only was there no compensation for the night however there was after a long explanation of why the bed bugs are there and how they exterminate for them every 3rd week which means they aware of the bugs and do not inform customers of this fact i was then accused of bringing the bugs with em because no one else in the room had bites.. this is ridiculous and very unprofessional and now i have the problem of cleaning all of my clohes and throwing out my suitcase bcause of this and then refuse to give me a refund for this noght!!!! i would highly not recommend this space.

“Rats Included With Price”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2008

This place was booked at the last minute but if you can afford to pay a little extra get a 1star hotel or maybe 3 for the price because we had the unfortunate experience of seeing RATS.

When we told the receptionist he ignored us.


Typical - definitely not worth it.

“A safe bet”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2006
4
people found this review helpful

I stayed here last minute and if you're looking around last minute then this is directed at you.

This hostel is basic in terms of amenities there's "breakfast" included but it's pretty terrible. But at the end of the day this is a clean, secure, well located hostel with a cool, friendly vibe.

The bar is alcohol free (smoking is very welcome) and there's couches and a pool table. There's not much nightlife in the hostel itself but you're very well positioned to go out and get some. And there's no lock-out.

Basically there are many hostels which sound like they are bigger, with better breakfasts and bars on site where you can mingle with dozens of backpackers but all of these get booked out months in advance.

But if you're looking last minute this place is a good bet - it's basic but clean and the price is fair. Everyone who stayed there while I did was happy with it.

If you rock up around 10.30am (after people have checked out) you can just ask over the counter for a bed and you should be right.
