3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

Stayed in an 8 bed dorm with some friends. Room was fine, beds were relatively comfortable and the rooms were clean enough, although not that great. Staff in the reception seemed to be rather cold and not very friendly. The bar downstairs was quite expensive but okay for a drink. If you are going to Amsterdam to visit the sights,... More

A few friends and i stayed for a couple of days in Amsterdam. We checked into the Winston on recomondations from others. It was nice and basically what we needed. Stupidly we missed our flights back home, so where stuck for a hostel to stay in. As we used the bull dog's bar during the day we thought on the... More

Its a great place. Stayed in a dorm with my partner. Very clean and have a good locker system. Clean bathrooms and toilets. Good quality buffet breakfast. Centrally located and have the vibe the city has to offer. Loved the stay and will surely visit and stay again

We are sorry to hear that you had a poor experience with us. However, you did not bring this issue to the attention of our management while you were here as we would have been happy to address this situation for you and find a solution. To suggest that our reception cares only for groups is not only inaccurate but... More

As someone who has done a lot of travelling around the world and stayed in much more basic accomodation than this I have to say this hotel was awful. Had a double room for two nights which was dirty and smaller than any room I have stayed in. Sheets were smelly and generallynthe room was in awful condition. We were... More

The management team is always ready to assist you with anything you don't find up to standard. We would be happy to change your sheets or even find you a different room if you... More

Great affordable hostel. I stayed in one of the dorms. It had its own toilet and shower which at first seemed like a bonus however it got a bit awkward at night when we could all hear everyone's toilet activities, however there was a communal bathroom on the floor that I wound up using so no harm done. The location... More

This room was not camera assisted so we got a bit worried but we found the luggages safely there fortunately.. The receptionist was ok, but she needed to keep proof of identity.. The rooms are beautifully set and clean, the... More
