This hostel is for you if you are planning to stay less than 1 week, the good thing is located at the city centrum, you can easily walk to all the main atractions, the bad thing is there's no elevator to the rooms even to the front desk so, if you're travelling with big suitcases you'll have a harsh time tryingto get into your room, the stairs are so small, and something to work on is the fact that they only accept cash

The room have no lockers. Also no suitable window to be open, being really stinky. The light in the toilet were automatic, so, it would take ages to turn off and we could not leave the door open for some fresh air, because of the lights and the fan. the fans on the toilets would take at least 30 mins to turn off. there is NO RECEPTION on site

Walkable distance from the Rijksmuseum, got most of the way from Amsterdam Centraal by tram. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only stayed one night on Thursday in late July. No airconditioning but it was fine. Sheets were provided which was good. Shower and facilities worked fine although the dehumidifier was loud for a few minutes after anyone had switched the light on, so probably best to bring earplugs if you're sensitive to noise when you sleep. Some noise from the street but not overwhelming (again, Thursday in late July, and above a bar, so might be louder if you're visiting on a weekend given that it's above a street full of bars). Was travelling solo (am not a guy) but never felt unsafe. Cost 3 euros to leave my suitcase in the luggage area behind the reception for the day which I didn't know about before I got there. Stairs were incredibly steep and narrow, be careful if you have problems with your knees. Luckily the guy in reception helped me bring my suitcase down when I was leaving.

Il personale è l'unica nota positiva, insieme alla posizione centrale e vicina a un coffeshop molto carino con spazio fuori per fumare. ci sono due edifici, un edificio ha una microscopica sala comune, comunque uno spazio, qualcosa. l'altra, dove ho alloggiato io, assolutamente niente. la zona è top, ma la notte la strada è chiassosa. per quanto riguarda le stanze, sono microscopiche e manchevoli di tutto, dalle prese elettriche allo spazio vitale. non ci sono armadietti per mettere lo zaino, nemmeno ganci per appendere qualcosa, nemmeno in bagno. ma la cosa peggiore è sicuramente la totale assenza di igiene di base. le lenzuola erano luride, il bagno indecente. non veniva pulito da chissà quanto. sinceramente indecente. mi dispiace dare questa recensione solo per il personale, disponibile e gentile. non tornerei

Lugar limpo e agradável. Localizado no centro de Amsterdam, muito perto de pontos d onibus, metrô e bonde. Bares, restaurantes e mercado tudo na porta. Um pouco de barulho a noite por estar localizado numa rua onde tem muitos bares. Senti falta de um refeitório com microondas, etc.

Mis tres peores noche en el hotel

Mi experiencia ha sido muy muy mala, las camas personales muy pequeñas e incómodas, las almohada iguales y la ropa de cama manchada y sucia, mi habitación fue la #12 que da a la escalera, y frente a la recepción, la escalera es de madera, durante la noche todos los sonidos se metian en la habitación y chica de la recepción suvia y bajababa la escalera constantemente como si fuera un animal sin importarle q eso podria molestar, durante esa noche, puso musica y despues se puso hacer algo donde rompia papeles y las cosas se le caian al.piso, tuve q salir hablarle, pero eso solo le duro un rato, seguia bajando la escalera como animal y el portaso de la puerta del hotel nunca faltaba. La primera noche no pude dormir literalmente ni una hora, la segunda y tercera noche me tume una pastilla para dormir, trabajando un señor donde fue algo mas calmado pero el entrar y salir del hotel huéspedes o personal se sentia todo, a este señor le pedi un cambio de habitación pero me dijo: el hotel esta lleno y el resto de las habitaciones estan al lado de mi habitación. Es decir q seria x gusto. También pedi toallas para cambiar y no tenian, como tampoco existia en el.baño lugar para colocar toalla y en la habitación ni una percha o gabinete para colocar algo. Mi recomendación al hotel: el servicio de habitación al menos cambiar las tohallas y las sábanas q esten limpias y sin manchas, arreglar la calefacción la cual estaba rota, poner un gabetero, en el baño un tohallero.

Annulation rocambolesque

Nous étions deux lorsque nous sommes arrivés pour prendre possession de la chambre la réceptionniste nous a dit : votre chambre a été annulée, je ne sais pas pourquoi je ne sais pas comment mais nous n’avions plus de chambre. Autant dire que retrouver une chambre comme cela à l’arrache en pleine période de congrès international avec des hôtels très plein la choses n’a pas été facile. Je ne sais pas si la faute est à l’hôtel ou à votre organisme quoi qu’il en soit cela nous a coûté beaucoup plus cher.

Poorly light, spiral staircases

Cramped, expensive and potential fire hazard. Although homes in Amsterdam seem attractively old in practice the steep, spiral staircases are difficult to navigate especially because they are so badly lit. When I arrived a strong person used to the narrow steps help me carry my bags which were stored in receiption.

The staff was very nice, and it is in a great location. It is a very short walk from the major museums. They did not provide a locker, though, and they offered to hold on to my valuable things themselves, but I didn't feel comfortable with that. When I booked this place I was attracted to the free breakfast, but it was only bread and jam, peanut butter, and chocolate spread. That's it! No option to toast it, at least none that I saw. There was coffee, too, which I enjoyed. The breakfast room was actually in a different hostel nearby. Wifi was provided in both places, and in a throwback fashion, there was a public computer. I was the only one who used it! This hostel experience really depends on what you want and how well you sleep. I stayed in an eight person room, and people were coming in and out all night. I had to sleep on top of my belongings because there was no where to put anything. I was surprised to find the lights out and people asleep at 10pm! But, like I said, activity went on all night. So I had two difficult nights of sleep. Maybe the going rate in Amsterdam is high regardless, but this place was very pricey for what it offered and didn't offer.
