Great hostel! Room was quite spacious and everything was kept quite clean. The communnal fridge is quite small and there is only a microwave for cooking. The hostel only takes payment in cash. I missed that memo but the staff were very helpful in pointing me to a nearby atm. There is no in house laundry but there is a self serve laundromat within easy walking distance.

I am beyond enraged with the customer service due to the lack of compassion and reason. I booked a reservation on Monday June 10, 2hrs later I called to cancel because my plans with my group tour cancelled. Amsterdam was a pre-trip, but since the trip was cancelled I wasn’t going in that area. I spoke with someone late at night, they said they could t access the system. I then called first thing in the morning and buddy was contacting his colleague and was working through it. Because of these calls and no response from your team to speak to a manage I also incurred a long-distance chargers. I am upset with your hostel because your empathy, after calling 2hrs of booking and the next day, is just that hostile. I will not recommend you to anyone.

Outdated

So the contact number on hotels is for a different place I struggled to find it as all the pictures are outdated. Was walking up and down the street trying to find it sat nav saying I was there couldn’t find it so thought to ring the number, the bloke in the number told me the actual address I went there bare in mind it was a 30 minute walk from where I was meant to be staying then as I turned up told me it was wrong hotel. So that didn’t start the trip off well so be careful with that one As I walked into the hostel it was very outdated. There was atmosphere considering it was meant to be a youth hostel When I finally got to my room the room was very over crowded 12 people sharing one bathroom was not pleasant at all. The room felt like a prison. The view from window was just into the roof top. The room wasn’t the cleanest not sure if that was the people staying or the hostel fault. Despite all this it was cheap and fit for purpose to save money the WiFi was amazing very fast This hostel has huge potential as it’s in such a good location If they had lockers in the room instead of trying to fit as many people in the room as possible and have a welcoming lounge area maybe swap the huge dinning table for a pool table and charge but extra for room would be good idea Overall I would book here again if I needed a very cheap hostel in central Amsterdam and didn’t care about the conditions

낮에 이용할 교통이나 편의시설이 가까워서 좋음. 화면은 호텔 아래 층 클럽의 음악 소리 때문에. 시끄러워. 그것도 매우 침대에서 처음이 몸으로 느껴짐. 하지만 소음 속에서도 잠들 수 있는 사람한테는 괜찮음 침대 프레임이 매우 튼튼하여 2층이나 3층을 오르락내리락 할 때도 삐그덕 소리가 나지 않아서 너무 좋음
