It was based in such a good area very tourist comfortable. I had a lower cube room, which I thought wouldn’t be good but it was actually very comfortable and cool. Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed our stay and were said to leave. The lights were great and many charging ports. My only complaint is that I would often get too warm during the night but I prefer a cold room anyways. But just take the duvet off and it was completely fine! The shutter on the side of the room one was broken but we worked out a way to balance it and it was fine! The toilets had everything you needed. Always a shower free, clean towels, hairdryer and shampoo and body wash. We were very happy here and I’d definitely suggest it! :)

I recently stayed at a hostel in downtown Amsterdam, and it was my first time staying in a hostel. Initially, I was a bit worried, but that all changed when I arrived. The receptionist, a friendly and welcoming Italian girl, made me feel right at home. I forgot to ask for her name, but she was incredibly helpful and patient, answering all of my questions. After checking in, I met some wonderful people who were staying in the same room. We quickly became friends, sharing stories and travel tips. We even went out for dinner and drinks together later that night, which turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Amsterdam. This hostel is a perfect choice for anyone looking to make new friends while traveling. Highly recommended!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening.
