When I first booked this hostel I wasnt exspecting much but it was only until I stayed there I relised how wrong I was. Overall, lovely and helpful staff, very friendly community and overall just a great vibe and good price. This hostel is definitely more youth and hippy based so maybe not suitable for a family but would definitely recommend to most people. Thanks for everything x

The price is not cheap. The room has mosquitoes. I couldn’t sleep the second night due to mosquitoes. I killed 3 mosquitoes but there are still more. I gave 2 euros coin to front desk for a show towel, but the charge still show up in my bill. Not a good place to stay.

Great location to explore the city from!! Easy to jump on a train or bus to Centraal Station area. The staff were super friendly. I had a minor issue and they resolved it quickly without hesitation. Also, the free coffee is nice! There are tons of showers and bathrooms available, which is nice. I truly enjoyed my stay here!!

This was my first time staying at a hostel and the staff was very polite. The area was very quiet and the everything was walkable. I met people from Australia, Canada and Sweden. I had the pizza which was good. The only issue was because of the amount of guests toilet paper always ran out and the only option was to go to another floor.
