Comments: This was an average hostel...if you can avoid it, do it...although the breakfast is great, in the rooms you feel you are in a hospital and it's pretty dirty! The location is not good, you have to take the tram to go where the fun is, and it is 1.60/trip. I wouldn't stay there again, but i have been worst, so if you have no other choice you'll "stay okey".

Comments: Staff was very helpful- drew on maps and recommended places to go during the day and night. Breakfast was extensive- not just two pieces of toast like a lot of other hostels (though you do have to get there before 9-9:15am or else the line is ridiculous). Good location- right by museums and nightlife (but a pretty decent walk to redlight district). Safe & clean.

Comments: This was a fairly good hostel but it is quite hard to eet people here and i found it a little out of the way. But Amsterdam is very small so you can walk or get a tram everywhere quite easily. As far as hostels go, I\'d say it was average.

Comments: it was all ok, just ok. nothing to really like or dislike, the showers and rooms could have been a bit cleaner but hey, what hostel can't be? The location is the best thing about this place and I would recommend it to anyone going to amsterdam. I say the location is great because you are next to Vondelpark and far enough away from the red light so that you can relax

Comments: The worst hostel i've ever been at. They charge you for everything, they dont clean your room with much frequency, the bathroom is always wet and smelly. Really, really far from the Dam/Red Light. I dont recommend, search more.

Comments: I stayed for one night and while its location is good and they serve a great breakfast, i found the rooms alnost clinical and it felt like we were in a hospital not a hostel. Staff seemed annoyed at the simplest requests and the internet was the most expensive i have ever encountered 5euro/hr! Crazy.

Comments: Good, clean, hostel. Stayed here for three nights, the flying pig for one night. Close to the museumsplein and the heineken experience, however far from downtown and a lot of the good coffeeshops. Stay here if you want a slightly quieter atmosphere and proximity to museums, not so much for the partying.

Comments: Hostel is really central and right next to Vondelpark. Easy walking distance to anywhere. Thought it was weird that the sinks were near the beds and separated from the toilet and shower area - caused a bit of disruption during the night when people washed their hands after going to the bathroom.

Comments: amazing place to meet people, there are always people willing to share outside. really close to the museum square, walkable to everything else if you don't want to splurge on the tram. stayed in the 20-bed room. everything cozy. locks available for 3.50 euro.

Comments: Everything was really nice, especially for being out all day and just wanting to come to a place to sleep. The only bad thing about it was the toilet areas were not very well cared for, and very long lines to go into the breakfast. I would return to this hostel.

Comments: Meh. Decent place. Great facilities, and nice enough, if a bit institutional. Right on the Vondelpark, though closed of by construction at the moment. Filled with school groups, so hard to meet anyone as a solo backpacker. Best hostel breakfast ever though.

Comments: Didn\'t spend much time in the hostel, but it was a great location by vondel park. Nice to take a break from the crazyness of red light and city centre. breakfast was filling. Make sure to bring ear plugs for sleeping!
