Stayed as a family of 4 kids aged 12 & 14. Lovely clean room on the sixth floor. Basic room but perfect for the base we needed, decent size and toilet and shower seperate which was handy. Only downside was that the room was very warm. The air conditioning was ok but the top bunk bed was very close to it so not able to keep it on at night. Windows don’t open. With it being a hostel I was abit nervous it might be noisy but it wasn’t when we stayed. Young crowd and unfortunately someone had been sick in the corridor one of the nights but staff promptly sorted. Saying that any of the young people we met were pleasant and friendly. Great to see so many cultures and I observed the staff taking an interest in where the young guests were from.

Hotel itself is fab. Kitchen for cooking facilities and a fridge to store your food. Kitchen was very busy at meals times but the smells from the international cooking was amazing!! Also washing and drying facilities which we used and worked well.

Staff — it depended who you dealt with. Check in wasn’t much personality but the supervisor I spoke to about working the washing machine was fab and very helpful.

Perfect location for exploring Amsterdam. Right beside the station and a spar. Felt safe enough and lots of police visable. The local train station was fantastic never waited more than. A few minutes for a train

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.
