    The staffs are not friendly and informative. The bed is not comfortable. There are no stairs on the bunk bed, making it difficult to reach the above bunk bed if you are allocated there. The communal room was so small so don't expect much.

    The location is in Amsterdam Zuid, which is really close to the museum's area and accessible both by tram and metro. You can entrust your luggage until 22.00 on the day you check out by paying 3 euros. There is a locker in the bunk bed rooms to put your bags; however, you have to bring your padlock.

    The room was jam packed resulting in feeling slightly trapped. The toilet and shower are in the room so you can hear everything. The bathroom also has a sensor light that turns on when you open the door resulting in bright lights in the middle of the night. The bunks them self are of average quality to the point they squeak with all movements. The bunks are also quite small with poor quality mattresses. Being 6 ft, my feet were hanging of the bed. There also wasn’t much of a communal vibe compared to other backpackers

    Okay location, reasonable price, easy check in

    U had to wait a long time to be able to use one of only two bathrooms for all the ppl staying there, staff was nice but honestly the roommates rly made the stay bad. They threw their stuff onto our beds. Stole my friends pillow and behaved like total apes. The person at the desk was very helpful in fixing these issues f.ex changing my bed to a different one because mine was definitely slept in and not clean!!! . But without an AC I still didn't get any sleep because it was so hot in the room it was unbearable

    Rooms too overcrowded, no air conditioning. Not enough toilets/ showers for the number of people in the hostel. Very small and cramped feeling in the whole hostel. Can't really complain for £15 a night though

    Decent location. Beds comfy

    Like a dorm - but more packed. Sufficient if you need to only sleep over and go.

    - the ladder to the bed is missing, I would appreciate one more small chair to get on the bed - it was difficult to get some air into the room and it was really hot, fortunately, there was a fan in the room - the drains in the shower and sink were partially blocked - lack of shared spaces where you could just hang out

    - location is good - the staff is nice - shared spaced are cleaned - fan in the room - microwave in the "kitchen" (kitchen is in the same room as the reception)

    There was no AC which was horrible, sleeping in a stuffy room during warm summer days with multiple people made it unbearable to get a good night sleep at night. There lacked kitchen and only a microwave was present so making your own food was a hard letdown. The toilets were very small and cramped which made it so you touched corners which hadn’t been cleaned. It made the experience unhygienic.

    Its location is really good because it’s right on the border of the inner city and outer city. So you can see both sides of Amsterdam which I like. The reception was really nice and helped with questions and tips about what can be found and seen while in Amsterdam.

    The room is cramped and the beds are too close to each other, no curtains, lack of privacy. There was only 1 toilet and shower for each floor.

    The location is good if you like to be close to the museums. It is accessible to trams to if you like to go to the central station area.

    The rooms can get pretty hot at night, there is a fan available in the rooms but we didn't use it cause we had roommates. If you're not sensitive to heat you should be fine though!

    Super friendly staff, giving us wonderful recommendations and a nice welcoming! The location is perfect and the value for money is correct! Many available bathrooms, small but clean!

    We expected to have free lockers for our luggage but it turned out we have to pay for them, so we had to leave our things under the beds. We didn't particularly like that. The room wasn't also regularly cleaned except for the bathroom. Тhe floor was quite dirty by the end of our stay.

    The location of the hostel was very convenient. There was no breakfast but we could use the fridge in the shared space which was awesome! When it comes to the room, the beds were comfortable.

    The rooms were tiny and somewhat cramped, so were the bathrooms. However, all these things don't mean much if you're spending the whole day outside travelling.

    It was cheap, and in a great location.

    Cleanliness was ok, but not great. Rooms and bathrooms were not cleaned daily and were not clean on arrival. Number of beds was a bit high vs the size of the room.

    Friendly staff. Great location, easy access to public transport, museums, restaurants, good commute from the airport by bus. Overall quiet enough place.

    The bathroom was very small and a little moldy so we didn't really shower, and the whole space is very cramped, also we had only 1 stool for 2 bunkbeds so we had to place it kind of in the middle of the room to have access from both beds.

    The location was great, the kitchen area was convenient and it was nice to see the structure of an older authentic dutch house.
