Comments: No atmosphere at all. They close the common area at night so there is nowhere to hang out. The bathroom was pretty nasty, and the guy in the next bed woke up with a bunch of bug bites all over his back. Wouldn't recommend this hostel to anyone.

Comments: Great staff, nice included breakfast, comfortable beds, towels/bedding provided, TV in the room too. Close enough to the action to walk into town, but far enough away to get some rest and sleep when you need it! Good value, recommended :)

Comments: I staied in the Hotel for 4 days with 5 other friends and the hotel was well located ,... nice area close to everything and the breakfast was much better then we were expecting. However the staff were very very rude .I met 3 of them who delivered such a bad service from the begginning to the end . no good manners at all. Our beds were not changed in 4 days .... that was just disgusting and I did ask if they could do that 3 times ..

Comments: Location isn't realy central if you care mostly about City center and red light district. If you want to get to know Amsterdam all in all its fine. It is a bit loud do to traffic and with four people in a small room pretty worm. Bikes can be rent around the corner. Breakfirst is very good. The staff does it job, but isn't enthusiastic if you have questions. So..if other hostles are booked this is a good secound choise!

Comments: I stayed 6 nights - really pleased to be there. Easy walking to anywhere, (including party zones), quiet, good breakfast room/food, fun guests, helpful staff - interesting folks too. Younger crowd but felt fine there as a 40+ gal. Complaints - light sleepers may be disturbed by streetcars, only one shower/toilet for two rooms on first floor, one nightman smokes in staff room and it gets into the air . But generally a nice little hotel and I will come back again.

Comments: The rooms were tiny and very dirty. The guy was a jerk when i arrived later than 11pm. I had booked a room for 4 people and the last night i was there they booked a family of 5 gypsies into the remaining 3 beds. I mean they were french, but they still seemed like gypsies.

Comments: Not a bad place for the price, only bout 5min walk to the main bar area, bit of a mission home from the red light district which was a bit shattering. Night workman looks a bit like Lurch...

Comments: Cleanliness ok. Staff - 50/50 - two guys nice, two others rather strange and making inappropriate jokes/comments about guests. Breakfast is ok. Rooms can get quite noisy from the traffic outside - had terrible trouble trying to sleep first night.

Comments: When we arrived, every light bulb in our room was burned out. needless to say, not a good fist impression. the location is ok. the staff is amazing, so nice and helpful. The stairs are outrageously steep, and breakfast is delicious and free.

Comments: Its a good place to stay if you only need a place to crash and leave your things. I wasnt a fan thou because i found the staff a bit rude and unhelpful. They provide no opportunities to meet others staying in the hostel for those travelling solo eg decent rec area/organised nights out.

Comments: not quite for backpackers looking to party in amsterdam, but it was very nice to have a quiet place to return to. no smoking allowed, which sort of sucked, but free breakfast was very good. located very close to vondelpark = very awesome, also right in front of 3 tram lines and 1 block from a supermarket. i would stay again, but only if i went to amsterdam with, say, my mother.

Comments: It's nice, but it's a bit pricey for not being right next to anything. Amsterdam is small enough that everything is walkable within 20 minutes from the hotel though.

Comments: Good free breakfast, fairly dated decor but they were doing it up when we were there. We didn't really meet anyone to socialise with, so better for couples maybe. Near to Leidseplein and stuff, with tube nearby, so location not too bad. We could hear loud trams and traffic all night though. Not bad on balance.

Comments: A very nice hostel inside a park, and close to a pleasant place with a lot of pubs. The staff was very nice besides the hotel had a good breakfast in a sweet atmosphere. Un très jolie hôtel située à coté d'un parc et proche d'une place très animé avec beaucoup de bars. Le staff est très accueillant. De plus le petit dèj' est très bon.
