    check out was at 11 and the cleansing staff angrily kicked me out by 9.00 am. I understand they have to clean the room for next visitors but they MUST respect the left hours you have and at least do it politely. the women was extremely rude complaining she isn´t payed to wait.

    Hands down the worst hostel in AMS. I've stayed in AMS 5 different times, in hostels, and this was the only hostel available. I can see why. We entered a small dark and very smelly room with 5-6 people yelling at each other. The people in the room were disrespectful and overall extremely weird. We felt so uncomfterable we wanted to go home early but ended up moving to a different hostel. Do yourself a favor and check out the rooms before you pay! They said they don't have a return policy (for a reason) however, if you press them, they will give you a full return. Hands down the worst experience i've had at a hostel in the past 10 years traveling (i've stayed at over 20 hostels). Definitely the worst hostel in AMS. Would rather sleep in the airport or at central station without a doubt. Save your money and go somewhere else! Sorry in advance to anyone who has already confirmed their booking. STAY AWAY

    this place really is only good for a 1 night stay, which is exactly what i did, so it was fair enough. most things you read on these reviews is true overall. • the stairs are what you should expect for a tall amsterdam townhouse, i had a backpack however so didn’t struggle much, suitcase users beware. • the rooms are extremely crammed and there is very little space to move around in at all. however the rooms are very clean, and the showers work well. one thing i didn’t see mentioned was weirdly a church bell or something goes off in a building very close by every 15 minutes, without fail. i cannot remember if it was throughout the night as well but it was from at least 8am - 12am(midnight). weird.

    Rooms super small. No natural light in the room. Beds were quite comfortable. Points for the every morning cleanliness which also maintained the cleanliness in the bathroom and toilet. Reception was terrible. I suppose it is not a great job for the staff to wake up wasted or sleepy people right before the hour of check-out, but they were doing it in such a noisy way that everybody else in the room was forced to wake up as well. They even woke me up on purpose to tell me that it is time to check-out when I was having one more night booked. Bad organizing, what can i say. I will not repeat the experience to book a bed at this hostel.

    Couldn't stay here more than one night, it's very crammed, clean bed though and perfect for getting your head down , ideally located for everything, from food to bars , central station also, typical Dutch stairs in here so don't take too big a bag .

  • 1/5 MIXRED X. 1 year ago on Google
    Very little space, no fresh air. The beds are not the best. There is no kitchen or living room. Rooms should cost 2 times cheaper. I do not recommend staying here.

    This hostel is what you would imagine it to be as a hostel in the Red Light District. Dorm rooms with squeaky bunks, people sleeping and awake at all hours of the day, a door that is so loud it will startle awake any of those aforementioned sleeping people. And at night with the windows open and the sounds of drunk tourist rising up storming through the streets of Amsterdam, singing, yelling, fighting, puking, crying, and laughing. It was sort of inexpensive, and they do offer towels. There is no common area to read or to meet any other travelers staying in the hostel. There is no kitchen nor fridge, a microwave yes. There is a vending machine with padlocks and Heineken for sale. The front desk people are very nice. Everything was clean and safe. It is conveniently located!

    Terrible hostel, do not book here. Our room had 10 people crammed in with poor ventilation, which is a problem when the shared toilet is 2 metres from your bed. The electricity was off between 9-5pm each day due to construction works, which meant that we could not use wifi or charge our phones. The hostel did not inform us that this was happening at all. There is no common space or kitchen facilities either. The front desk lady was also high the entire time we stayed there.

    Great location and thats about it. The stairs were way too steep for tourists with luggages. Space was very small, no aircon. With this price, i can find a much better place to stay.

    The hotel is neat. The staff is good. Stairs are quite small in terms of foot space but the room covers up for it. Attached bathroom and washroom are clean and well maintained. Online booking should be preferred few days before or else u will not get rooms anywhere

    Good location. That’s about it Rooms are cramped. Toilets have no windows and leave me sweating No extra facilities or social space. Paid more than 40 euro a night yet other hostels in other places I paid 10-20 and had much nicer facilities Better to get a hostel slightly out of the centre for a way better experience and way cheaper

  • 2/5 NoEsse 1 year ago on Google
    Day 1 and already waking us up telling us to check out. (Paid $400 Euro for 3 beds/3 nights over the weekend.) Renamed from “Hotel Croydon” so you don’t know they used to have a bedbug problem/low reviews. (It’s on the office wall.) The only good part is the location. NO REFUNDS so don’t pull the trigger unless you’re committed. Not a hostel to meet people in.

    If you would like to have a complete on edge and bad experience, stay here! We were woken up both days of our stay to having the sheet ripped off from our heads and shaken to be asked if we are checking out,when they could've quite easily checked the system.... Also I left my bathroom items and came to the reception a couple of hours later and they were completely unhelpful and wouldn't even check the room. You also have to scale 4 floors of steep stairs to get to your room, would not recommend

    Good stay for couple nights of yiu are in Amsterdam. Clean.

  • 1/5 Dounia 3 years ago on Google
    The hostel doesn't respect the covid-19 rules: a lot of people in a very small room, moreover, it isn't clean and the rooms smell (probably because of the number of people in that very small room). Eventhough the cheap price, they shouldn't put people's life in danger.

  • 5/5 manuela m. 2 years ago on Google
    The price-quality is very good. The staff is very nice and friendly. clean bed sheets, comfortable beds. Very big shower bath and a small toilet. They have a machine with food and some products, for example saved us from the downer of the joint, and that we forgot the lock to leave our belongings. We were allowed to leave our bags after check out. Thank you!

    It might get a bit loud during the night, but it's next to most of the major attractions in Amsterdam

    (Translated by Google) Fatal I do not recommend it. Chinese guy is very aggressive and asks you for money for the keys, tourist tax, which is not written anywhere on the web. That place and the reception with that Chinese are scary. A cheater (Original) Fatal no lo recomiendo. Chico chino es muy agresivo y te pide dinero por las llaves, tasa turistica, de la cual no escrito en ningún sitio en la web. Da miedo ese lugar y la recepción con ese chino. Un estafador

  • 4/5 Tyler K. 4 years ago on Google
    A very good priced central location with clean showers, and super friendly staff. Only complaint would be sorta scratchy sheets which is to be expected from a hostile. Would recommend this place for sure as the location cannot be beat!

  • 4/5 Daniel H. 4 years ago on Google
    Súper steep stairs which are no big deal... except if you’re not sober. Tiny rooms but hey, red light district is just three blocks away.

    Stayed there in the year 2012 and I remember clearly that the rooms were very clean and tidy and larger than usual. You can watch the streets from your window.

  • 4/5 Antonio 3 years ago on Google
    Affordable hostel for those who look for an ok bed in a central spot. Staff is nice, hostel lacks a common space for guests but is surrounded by bars where most of the guests go

    It was indeed an easy stay. Easy commute, easy to find, easy to check in. Not too easy however to sleep because the rooms are cramped and there's not much place to put your stuff. The bathroom is tiny, but clean. Good for an easy stay.

    Ella McCloskey Michigan, USA August 2-9, 2021 One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in! Rooms are super clean and the staff is really nice. The location is PERFECT! There's a nice supermarket right down the street for budgeted travelers (really awesome prepackaged food, fresh fruit/veggies, including vegan) and it's inexpensive! There are tons of things to do within 5-10 minutes walk, and it's really close to the train station. The Syrian restaurant just a few doors down has amazing food, as do just about all the restaurants. I noticed the complaints--which are absolutely ridiculous!!!! You're in AMSTERDAM!!! CENTRAL AMSTERDAM...so sorry, people aren't going to bed at 8 p.m.! If you want peaceful quietude, maybe a spa vacation in the remote areas of the Himalayas might be a better choice for you! And the comments about the stairs...yes, they are steep, but this is how they built buildings 100 years ago (get a clue)! Super inexpensive (I stayed August 2-9, 2021) and paid $20/night for an 8 bed/mixed dorm, but they also have other arrangements and single rooms available--Hotels 2 doors down (and in general) run an average of $160 usd and up. Everyone was so unbelievably nice. I highly recommend this Hostel! One last thing! If you plan your trip in advance, make sure you book museums/tours ahead of time--I just assumed that I would be able to get tickets the day of... unfortunately, I was quite surprised to find that everything I planned to do was sold out! Tickets seem to be sold out 2 weeks in advance, so book your excursions online as soon as you can. Happy Travels! Cheers!

    Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had in Amsterdam. I have been well over a dozen times, and my stay started with an argument with a bunk mate over assigned beds, the rooms are way too clustered and the bathrooms are extremely small with no room. we ended up leaving early, because of how uncomfortable we were with no other options and I would not recommend anyone to stay here. There are typically 12 people in a room and nothing looks clean. Would not recommend this to anyone.

    Worst stay I have ever had. The room is extremely small and the window feels like it's an inch wide, you don't really have any privacy, it's dirty and my bedding was filthy. There is only one toilet and one shower for 9 people.
