I hope if you are going to Amsterdam you are not going to stay in the room only when you need to sleep . If thats the thing you are looking for this place is optimal. The rent is very decent and they are very helpful (much like anyone else in Amsterdam .. :)..) . The rooms are small but... More

I have been traveling through a few cities and hostels already - this one is one of the best value for money, and the friendliest! From the minute we walked in, the staff (who are volunteers at the hostel) made us feel so welcome. The hostel also has a calm cafe with leather couches for you to lounge on, and... More

If you are looking for a place where you can be on your own and want to have a nice sleep, you need to go to this hostel. The staff is very friendly. In my opinion the place could be better if the kitchen could be used not only by the staff, but anyway if you stay there and want... More

I went in this hotel with my friends. Location is very good - depending on what you're looking for - in the middle of the Red Light Districts with many coffee shops, restaurants and metro station in the surroundings. We were 5 people in a bedroom with 6 beds, there were just enough room to strip and go to bed.... More

Location wise only a 5 min tram ride from the train station in the Jordan area. Safe area with Dam Square a 15 min walk away and Anne Frank House 2 mins walk. I went with... More

First off, I know that a few ppl were put off about it being a Christian hostel. I thought it was fine and the staff were nice. As for the no drugs or alcohol rule - I am not the kind of person who likes to indulge so this worked out for me. If you are just looking for a... More

I stayed here on a layover for 1 night. Had been years since I was in Amsterdam. Was a bit of a trip to the hostel but found a nice clean place with a friendly staff. Floors were male and female. Though I swore I heard girls in a male room so note sure how well the rule is monitored.... More

My friend and I stayed here for one night as we couldn't get an extra night in the hostel we were staying at previously. Our stay was average. There seemed to be alot of rules and regulations which had not experienced anywhere else on our trip. There was also a 15 euro key deposit which seems excessive for a key.... More
