Charming Hostel w/ Character - My New Fave!

Reception during check-in and check-out was super nice—thank you for being so friendly and welcoming! I stayed on the 3rd floor (actually the 4th floor). Although the steep, narrow steps were a mission, they are typical of local architecture and should be seen as a cultural experience rather than a North American "accessibility issue"—if you need an elevator, are obese, or dislike narrow, steep, winding stairs, this place isn't for you. The six-person, three-bunk room felt spacious, and each bed had a locker with a key (10-euro deposit, returned upon return). I had the top bunk facing the window, and the electric socket was a bit far, but it was a minor inconvenience. The bed was clean, and the sheets were fresh. The shower was hot, especially nice after walking in the rain. The washroom door didn't have much space when opened and was close to my knees when sitting on the toilet—a potential issue for anyone 170 cm (5'7") or taller. I shared the room with five other lads who were friendly and professional. Overall, a proper hostel experience. I usually stay at the Heart of Amsterdam for its proximity to RDL and Centraal, but Hotel Jesse is now my new favourite!

Owner wanted cash only and coincidentally my cards wouldn’t work in the machine until I insisted it was her issue not my card. Felt like a scam. Cramped rooms. Not that clean. Really steep stairs.

Not bike backpacker friendly, arrived for my first night in Holland and was told off by staff for having my bike next to the hostel with no nearby parking. Breakfast menu posted all throughout lobby but no breakfast available.

Good value for money for one night stand.

Just one night stay, old city is just in a minute walk 6 persons in a small room, so for one night it is OK no lift, big case for the 4th floor can be a challenge. good internet. Reception is closed from 10 PM, so send them message in advance if you come later for check in.

Mevlana is a real underrated hostel in the heart of Amsterdam. The staff are kind and considerate and not pushy at all. I was thoroughly impressed with the work that they had done to ensure cleanliness and hygiene was number one priority

Anniv dudu et pom in Masterdam

Auberge fidele a l'annonce, et bon rapport qualité/prix. On a passé deux bonnes nuits entre copains dans une petite chambre cosy. C'est propre, le personel est réactif. Fait pas s'attendre a un 4 etoile et faut savoir que l'escalier est bien raide, mais ca passe. Aussi tres important de prendre sa douche bien tot le matin ou le soir, sinon il y a pas d'eau chaude avant le check out. En tout cas, on recommande pour l'emplacement, la vue et le confort!
