This hostel offers decent accommodation for those on a budget, perfectly located close to key attractions in Amsterdam. The rooms are manageable but could feel cramped, especially with shared facilities. While the communal vibe is lively, it may not suit everyone, especially those looking for a quieter stay. Overall, it’s a good option for travelers who want to save money and enjoy the social atmosphere.

My stay was quite the experience! I booked a room for three and was pleasantly surprised to find out we basically had the entire top floor to ourselves, which was perfect for enjoying some privacy during a busy holiday weekend in Amsterdam. The hostel had its pros and cons—great value during peak times and nice communal spaces, but the noise levels and some of the facilities left much to be desired.

This hostel has a fantastic location close to late-night food options, and my room was decent with daily cleaning. However, the lack of enough plugs in the room was a bit inconvenient, and I encountered a good deal of noise from snoring roommates. Overall, it's a clean and organized place with a nice social smoking area, but it could get a little loud at night.

The communal smoking area adds to its unique vibe, although noise from other guests can be a downside. The dorms are decent size, but the shared facilities could benefit from more frequent cleaning.

This budget hostel offers a very basic stay with a few perks like friendly staff and a central location. The rooms and bathrooms are quite cramped and not particularly modern, which detracts from the experience. Despite the drawbacks like steep stairs and smoking areas, it’s manageable if you set your expectations low and just need a place to rest.

I had a unique experience during Kings Day weekend, as I unintentionally booked a room for three and four people, which ended up giving us the whole top floor. This provided great privacy amidst the busy atmosphere of Amsterdam. However, the cramped nature of the common areas and the small room sizes were downsides that might deter some guests, especially those who prefer more spacious accommodations.
