Excellent customer service! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the Rijksmuseum and Vondelpark. The atmosphere is super welcoming, and the staff are friendly and incredibly helpful. A special shoutout to André at the reception, who made me feel right at home by speaking Portuguese with me—it was such a thoughtful touch! What really impressed me was their proactive customer service. I accidentally left my bag behind, and the team immediately found the best solution to get it back to me. They handled everything smoothly and efficiently, which made a huge difference. The free breakfast is a great bonus too! I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a fun, well-located place to stay in Amsterdam with top-notch service.

Very affordable private room with ensuite bathroom, compared to Amsterdam prices, and great location next to the beautiful Vondelpark, the museums, and some great vegan cafés and restaurants. The bed was very comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. Relatively relaxed vibe for a hostel (VS crazy backpackers' parties) which in our case was definitely a plus.

We didn't get towels on the arrival day (luckily we brought some!) and while the surfaces and sheet were perfectly clean, there was something hanging in the air making our allergies act up - but it could have been because of the nearby construction site!

The location was amazing! We didn’t use public transport once as it was only a half hour walk into the centre of the city to explore all of the classic areas and then we were also free to visit neighbouring districts and areas which meant we saw a whole lot more! We loved the beds and all of the communal activities like karaoke, happy hour and the indoor smoking room was a nice touch.

The showers weren’t always in the greatest condition but that’s usually the fault of inconsiderate guests as opposed to the staff and the stairs nearly killed us. Why we had to go down a flight of stairs to go up four we didn’t underhand but oh well.

It’s location is really close to everything and super beautiful place, most of the employees were fantastic.

It was just this one guy in the evening, that I told him I lost my passport as soon as I noticed it. He didn’t make much of an effort to help me to find, otherwise I could have had time to get my original plane, cause I was sure the passport was lost there, and the cleaning staff would have found it, but he didn’t hurry at all to help. Lost my plane and had to pay for another nigth in the hostel. Next day in the morning, went to the lady at the reception, and she went straight way upstairs, where my passport was kept by the cleaning staffs team. But just that, wish he would have made an effort, I would have gotten my plane and saved lots of money and a headache.

Exceptionally clean and a fantastic place to meet people! This hostel has everything you'd expect and more, including an onsite bar and a designated smoking area, which really adds to the experience. Overall, the atmosphere is friendly, and fellow guests are super welcoming.

The hosts could have been a bit more attentive. They had an uncompromising 'nothing-is-negotiable' stance that felt excessive at times. Instead of the usual drawers under the bunk beds, my room had awkward wooden lockers that didn’t fit my bags. When I asked if I could switch to a different room, they cut me off mid-explanation with strict references to hostel policy, without really listening to the issue.

It was my second stay and i'll probably stay with them again if i'm ever in Amsterdam. It's really close to public transportation, just one bus ride away from the Airport and 1 tram away from the Centraal. Rooms are really comfortable and cozy. The staff is really kind, energetic and helpful. Perfect for solo travellers to socialize since the common room is really alive and there are events almost every day of the week.

Amazing community so to speak, from what I see people keep coming again since a lot of the new people checkin in seemed to know it hahah. Breakfast is decent, bar and accommodation prices are pretty good, and its quite close to loads of things. The bar is open until late 2am and they even have happy hours, really good place to socialize and make friends

The distance between top and bottom bunk beds would be nice to be more, kept accidentally bumping into the bedframe above. Also for some reason my key kept dieing but luckily it was always a 20 seconds job.

The staff at the reception are warm and friendly, especially Rob. The hostel provides fun activities for guests, and the coffee break is a lovely way to kick off the day. There's a beautiful natural park right in front of the hostel where I spend my mornings.

The bathrooms on the top floor are currently unavailable, which has caused the bathroom on the floor below to get crowded and messy at times.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the bar area is a nice place to hang out and the crowd was also just cool people. The room was very clean as well, if you dread dirty hostels this place has nothing to fear.

Be aware that the way into the hostel feels very cramped, it's a very narrow and steep staircase (the steps felt very short for my big feet) heading down to where the reception and bar are. Also my bed sheet had a small hole in it, but that was underneath the pillow, so it didn't bother me.

Breakfast was good, everyone was friendly, and the facility was cared for and clean! Didn’t have any trouble sleeping- you can rent larger beds- and there were curtains that actually blocked out the city lights. Tucked off the beaten path but right next to a beautiful park!

So. Many. Stairs. 😅😳 Use the handrails!!!! My partner fell twice going down the stairs into the reception area. They are steep and slippery!
