Someone was sleeping in our bed and caused me to have a panic attack. Staff that sorted it was rude and not very understanding. The amenities were filthy and the clientele was awful. Rude people and dirty. The bed was uncomfortable and inconsiderate people in the room. Checked out early as I couldn’t be in the room without having a nervous breakdown.

If you’re looking for a good time at a hostel this is absolutely the spot. Basically a nonstop party especially with the smoking room lol. That being said it’s not so easy to get sleep here always as the dorms pack a couple dozen people. 100% a great affordable option downtown with easy walkable access to all Amsterdam has to offer
