We had a great stay and would definitely come back. The main room is beautiful, a lovely place to relax with a drink or a snack, and the prices are really affordable. The staff were helpful and very nice, and the hostel is close to the center. We stayed in a private room, so I can't speak to the dorms. Our room was perhaps a bit small for the price, and we could hear people in the other rooms, but that's part of hostel life. The air-conditioning was too strong and couldn't be adjusted from the room. We asked the staff to switch it off on the second day, and after that it was fine.

I loved how close the hostel was to museums and the tram, and I could rent a bike there too. The cafe was wonderful with a great selection. Even in a room with lots of beds, it stayed quiet and clean. The beds were comfortable, the rooms very tidy, and both guests and staff were kind and courteous. Probably the best hostel I've stayed in Europe. Highly recommend it for a stay in Amsterdam!

The reception's big smile gave me the best first impression I could've hoped for, and the place smelled clean. Other guests were nice and left me alone. The sleeping spaces and lockers were well equipped and easy to use. It was my first hostel stay, and I had a great experience. I hadn't known about the gym beforehand. I also didn't know reception had a small menu, or that coffee and food warming were available. It would've been nice to know those things in advance.

I was traveling solo and had an amazing stay. The room and toilet were always clean, and the staff were so friendly and helpful. There was a power outage in the neighborhood on my last day, but the staff kept helping us and found a solution to our problems. I'd definitely stay here again if I visit Amsterdam in the future :)

After walking all day, it was a lovely place to unwind. The hostel's in a quiet area but close enough to walk to the center, and the social spaces and rooms felt cozy. Everything was very clean, the bathrooms were modern, and the showers worked well. It smelled lovely as soon as I walked in, and the friendly staff made the stay enjoyable.
