Comfortable, convenient hostel with a few things to fix

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 Jul 2024
Well located hostel close to the train station, which has easy and quick connections to the Centraal station.

Our room and en suite bathroom was spacious and clean, even though it had four beds, and our beds were made every morning. The availability of lockers both within and outside of the room was also useful and appreciated.

While the kitchen space was nice and had two fridges, one of two of the kitchens was out of use making it cramped at times. Also one of two of the stoves was out of use making cooking a little more difficult.

Also, we had an effectively undercover alarm- it was white and looked like a light switch- pretty much on the headboard of the bed so we inevitably hit it accidentally multiple times. That could do with moving.

I stayed at this hotel which was really close to Sloterdijk station(only 6 min to Central). I booked a single bedroom with private bathroom. Bed was comfortable. The AC wasn’t that strong, so that’s the only downside of my experience.
I’d definitely come back.

Bad organization from hotel regarding the rooms, change of rooms without letting the guests know while putting personal belogings on Trash bags and take everything out of the room without permition,having breakfast included and not letting them have breakfast, Key Room cards not working, high reccepcionist, bad communication between workers. Not a pleasant Stay, whit problems from recepcion everyday.
Breakfast was ok, good to enough to start your day, rooms were clean and bathroom was good.
Location is pretty good, with train, metro and tram on a few meters.
A big appreciacion to the egyptian reccepcionist (night auditor) for helping us with an health issue, he help us a lot. Big thanks to him.

Excellent hostel! The spaces were clean and well maintained. The bar was pretty good, and there was lots of social stuff happening around the lobby. Would definitely recommend! The only improvement would be to have more washers+dryers, because currently there are only 2 each.

This hotel gear towards a young crowd but has decent amenities and the beds were comfortable. I think the breakfast menu could be improved as they serve the same food daily. The location is really convenient as it's literally next door to the Sloterdjik station

Room tip: Lots of young people, expect those kids to run wildly in the corridor....
