Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Perfectly situated outside the main hustle and bustle. Very clean, comfy beds, good bathroom facilities (although only 1 working sink in ladies dorm was a bit tricky at busy times). Silent closing on the bathroom door would be a good addition, as would disabling the hairdryer after 11pm - no one should be drying their hair at 3am in a shared space!! Overall really lovely though. Recommended.

Clean hostel the woman only dorm felt safe with lockers provided that lock , a main door that locks to the dorms with restrooms in their to use . Right around corner is metro and bus stop and easy to get back to airport or walk to other parts of the city . The hostels property is smaller than some with not a lot of hang out space but ok plus side this seemed to keep the noise outside down

This was my first time in a hostel, and I had a lot of reservation about it, but I felt very safe and comfortable there. The price is/was fair and the staff was professional and kind. The facility is very clean, and security is very reliable as i was staying in an all girl room. I would definitely book again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hostel is very clean, close to the centre (10 min walk or 5 by bus). All the staff was friendly, from Isaya (if I got his name correctly) to Gaby, the gym guy, the night one and the girl with straight, black hair. Property was not old and they told me that soon they are also going to open other rooms, which means even more cleanliness. I'll be back to Amsterdam and definitely I will go back again to The Bee Hostel
