I felt like there could be a more relaxing space outside of the bar. Also, the dorm room felt a bit overcrowded, and there were a few people nearby who snored loudly, which made it hard to sleep

The property was disgusting. It reeked of cigarette smoke and overall just wasn’t in good shape. Toilets were dirty and lockers weren’t in the best condition either. Super loud and overall a bad experience. If you want a peaceful stay in Amsterdam, do not stay here.

Love this hostel! It was one of the workers birthday and we all celebrated. It was so fun to make small talk with people as well. The bar can be chaos but if you need time to chill without so many people you can walk down stairs to the happy room (living room) and there is a full kitchen aswell. If I ever get a chance to come back to amsterdam i'm definitely spending a few nights here!
