As I said before, dirty. I extended my stay by one night and then still didn’t bother to come clean the room.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I would have given at least one other star had someone came into my room to clean it AT LEAST ONCE during my entire stay. I even extended my stay by one night and I specifically asked the front desk staff to please make sure my room would get cleaned. They instructed me to hang the “clean my room” sign by the door, which I did for two consecutive days, and nothing. There are also weird smells in the room. I can see they probably don’t even sanitize these rooms thoroughly after each guest. I had a private room. Location is excellent. Just walking distance from the red light district.

Great location and there’s a really big safe/lock box for each person under the bed - bring your own lock! Everything was super clean too. My only problem was how long the check in process took since there were only two people at the front desk and they worked very slowly

The hostel is located in the heart of Amsterdam. Its about a 1min walk from the red right district. There are plenty of good bars and restaurants close to the hostel. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Its probably the best hostel in Amsterdam. I have stayed in plenty of different ones that dont match up to this one.

It's the place you can find, they are very bad people. They treat customers very badly and it doesn't matter if you'll be first in line because they'll give you the last

Nice spot for an older solo traveler. Recommended
Smooth check in! Helpful staff. The room was clean and there were plenty of towels! Great shower, that is shared. Im an older solo traveler, and I felt welcome and comfortable at St. Christopher’s.

Great staff at the hostel; everyone is very friendly and assists in guest requests. Definitely a hostel and not a hotel - a lot of students, transients, but we stayed in a private room with a private bathroom and it was as satisfactory as any other hotel. Would definitely recommend whether you stay as a guest with others or if you book a private room.

Let's get this out of the way, fellow guests/roommates can make or break your hostel stay, which, is usually beyond your control when traveling solo. This review will not take that into account. The hostel bed was comfortable, nice and not too firm. Pillow was supportive and the linen/blanket was clean. Security was also very good. On-site self service laundry was also very convenient. Very, very friendly and welcoming staff at the reception. Made you feel welcome at the hostel. Housekeeping is excellent and a towel is provided daily free of charge. Sheets and towels are changed daily!!! A few things to consider. Location is in a busy part of downtown and street noise into the night is unavoidable, comes with the territory. Bathroom in our ensuite had a few quirks, you'll take a shower in a bathtub and water will get to the bathroom floor. Bathroom light did not have an on/off switch, a bit odd. Overall a good experience during the 6 night stay at the hostel. Recommend to book here! 👍👍👍

St Christopher's at the Winston is in a fantastic location, easily accessible from central station. Plenty of great bars and places to eat around the location. Rooms are basic but have everything you need. Room was clean and staff were friendly.

This was my first ever sharing living space with multiple people. Honestly, it wasn’t bad. Had to the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. Flip side, there’s no privacy, however, it wasn’t a bad experience.

Stayed here 5 nights. I booked a single room with private bathroom. Room was small but it was good value what i paid. Only old church is next to the hotel and each 15 minutes bell was ringing as if inside the room. Apart from that it was a pleasing stay.

We booked the private room with the private toilet. Staff was friendly and the location was perfect. Our contents were safe when we weren’t in the room. Keeping in mind this is a bed, toilet, and shower, and no Ritz Carlton, it certainly meets all requirements. The downstairs bar / restaurant is one of the greatest highlights. You can just walk up to your room after partying. The location is central to all of Amsterdam. Parking is a nightmare as you have to use public garages. The closest garage is 45 euros a day so don’t recommend a car if you can avoid it. Overall a great stay and we were happy with this hotel / hostel.

The room I stayed in was a mix 8 bunk room. It was clean and safe. The staff was very friendly and helpful. “Tetris” Charlie did a lot to help me adjust my stay. For the price this was a wonderful stay. Easy to get around and right in the middle of everything.

It is what it is but not going again!
The hostel didn’t have water when I checked in. The room felt congested and was always hot. They provide one small fan which just takes energy and doesn’t let any air out. There’s no drinking water but that was expected in Amsterdam. The vibe of the room is depressing.

Modern & Upscale Hostel in the City Center
Location is in the heart of all the hustle and bustle, minutes walk from most sites and attractions, including Centraal Station and various public transportation. The premium you pay is for location. Rooms are basic and humble. Common areas are great for socializing. In-house restaurant and bar are convenient. Staff is friendly.
