I stayed in the female dorm which had its own bathroom, so was very safe and secure. The bunk bed was comfortable and had a lockable drawer for keeping valuables, (was a little squeaky for leaving early in the mornings though). There are a few stairs to get in and up to rooms, so good if you are carrying light luggage or if you dont mind there are no lifts.

It was fine. As far as hostels go, I would go here again. The only downside is that the common area is usually noisy and full of people drinking. So if you’re looking for a hostel that is quieter for you to read or work, this probably isn’t a great option.

It was a great experience for the price, I showed up at 00:30 and was a bit worried about not being able to get in, but their reception is 24/7 (this was my first Hostel experience) it’s only about a 40 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal so if you’re on a budget and need to get your steps in it was great, the all you can eat breakfast for (6CAD) was great fills you up for a great morning. The showers are a bit tough not a lot of room or separation for clothes and you, but overall ok. Towels can be provided but are not always available so be careful with that. The staff were super friendly and even lent me a lock just asked me to return it afterwards so that’s super awesome of them, the storage for single peeps is under the bed and can be locked, if you can’t pull/push the basket far enough life the part of the frame the mattress was on, that tripped me up and is probably not normal but again the staff came up to show me how to lock it and was baffled a bit but ended up helping figure it out! My total for 2 nights with breakfast was about 68$CAD after city tax. Overall a great experience! Don’t be afraid to ask the staff questions!
