    Stayed here for a budget couple's holiday, and it was much nicer than expected. + very good price for the location. It was the cheapest place in central Amsterdam, and we saved a lot of money thanks to the fair price and easy walking distance to everywhere in the city. There are bars and clubs all around, and a really nice view of the canals. Even the mayor lives on this street apparently! + despite other reviews, I found it very clean - the sheets were nice, they gave us fresh towels every day, and there was a sink and mirror in the bedroom. I was dreading the shared bathroom situation but it was not bad at all, I never had to queue and it always seemed clean in the shared shower / loo. Also there was a TV in the room, which was a nice addition I wasn't expecting. Also a hair dryer and safe, but no wardrobe. + the breakfast is nothing fancy, but still much appreciated. Sliced bread, ham and cheese slices, a fruit bowl, cereal and yogurt were available, with tea / coffee making, juice and milk, and a toaster / microwave. Great to have a free meal included for the already low price + the staff were very helpful and friendly and spoke perfect English. Whenever I saw them, they were helping people with breakfast or with extra loo paper for the bathroom, or looking after bags even after checkout. The receptionist even chased us out to give us a bag we had forgotten. Very nice people. - the only real problem with my stay was the fact that mosquitoes were in the room and I was bitten a lot. (I have noticed this with more expensive hotels also, though). if you're staying in the summer, pack repellent or spray! - since it is right above a square of clubs, restaurants and cannabis shops, it can be very noisy at night, especially on the weekend, even into the early hours. We slept right through it since our days were so busy, but be warned not to expect perfect peace and quiet. - the stairs are very, very steep and narrow. This is a given in many Dutch houses, but be weary if you struggle with stairs. Overall, this is a great choice for a low budget hotel. Good for students or backpackers. Just remember to bring bug spray!

    The location is as prime, no doubt about it. The rooms were alright. They smelled of pot, the refrigerator didn't work, the shower didn't drain hardly, door squeaked like crazy and there was no air conditioning. The staff were very nice and had a great sense of humor. They did my laundry for 5 euro which was much appreciated. Breakfast wasn't anything fancy but it taste good and they were polite and helpful.

    Low price, good spot but unfortunately we had bed bugs. Blood stains on sheets and quite some bites. Therefore I must give this a one. We had room number 6.

    Okay place to stay at during a quick 2 day visit to Amsterdam. Everything in the room and bathroom/shower works as should. But don't expect the cleanest of rooms. Great central location

    It is a very interesting building. Located in the center of Amsterdam. All the restaurants, bars and clubs are literally around the corner. Bus stations, tram station is like 2 minutes walk from the hotel. You get a beautiful view of the canals and also of the 7 bridges, famous place in Amsterdam where you have 1 straight line where you can see 7 bridges.

  • 5/5 Lee Anne C. 10 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    Great stay (but bring ear plugs - noisy outside). Comfy & clean bed, view of the canal, helpful front desk, didn’t get to have the breakfast but it looked like one of the better hostel breakfasts (sliced meat, cheese, breads, hard boiled eggs, various jams/spreads, cereal, fruits, yoghurt, juice, coffee/tea). Great location. It is a budget hostel so don’t expect air con or a lot of space but it has everything you need. Stairs are quite steep. My friend called it “our condo” by accident because it felt so comfortable.

  • 1/5 Craig B. 7 months ago on Google • 26 reviews
    Rooms are small, the one I got wasn't even in the ad pictures, no service at all, haven't seen the staff other time than at the check-in, the hostel is dirty, lots of carpet stains, awful odour coming from the bathroom, and the bed sheets had even holes in them, really bad experience, if you are in room seven and are a bit tall, get ready to bump your head against the ceiling constantly, Not Worth It.

  • 2/5 Sa M. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The b side of this hostel is a bit sudden and improvised. Look carefully if the room you have chosen matches the one you will be offered. For the rest, very central location. A bit noisy due to the night clubs at night on weekends. Connected with many interesting sites reachable with a nice walk. (Original) Il lato b di questo ostello è un po' improvviso e improvvisato.. Guardare bene se la camera che avete scelto corrisponda a quella che vi verrà offerta. Per il resto, posizione molto centrale. Un po' rumoroso a causa dei night club durante la notte nei week end. Connesso con molti siti d interesse raggiungibili con una bella camminata.

  • 4/5 Юрий �. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The view from the window at 5 *. The staircase is the narrowest and steepest of everything I've seen in hotels, and there were a lot of them. Shared shower - you have to stand right on the floor, near the shared toilet, not very comfortable, breakfast is normal. It is very warm in winter ... Bottom line: of the minuses only a shower. (Original) Вид из окна на 5*. Лестница самая узкая и крутая из всех что я видел в отелях, а их было много. Общий душ - приходиться стоять прямо на полу, около общего туалета, очень не комфортно, завтрак норм. Зимой очень тепло… Итог: из минусов только душ.

    The location could not be better. The room are pretty small but that‘s okey. The bathroom with the shower was kinda dirty during our stay. And there‘s only one bathroom / shower for the whole hotel.

  • 4/5 The S. 3 years ago on Google
    Tiny hotel, with tiny and simple rooms. But you get everything you need for an Amsterdam party trip. A simple breakfast is included but never tried it. I recommend it if you only look for a cheap place to sleep! Don't forget to book private shower/toilette if possible. I do not like shared shower/toilette :)

  • 3/5 Cristi U. 8 years ago on Google
    Great choice for a budget traveller! Even though the stairs were hard to climb, the ceiling was too low and the bathroom was shared with all the other rooms, I found my staying at The Veteran quite pleasurable. Located in an old dutch house in the heart of Amsterdam, it covers a traveller's basic needs: a bed to sleep in and a place to leave the luggage. The staff was polite and the breakfast was nourishing. I didn't like the fact that the heating & cleaning stopped after the first two days.

  • 3/5 Harry S. 11 years ago on Google
    Great location is the only good can be said about this place. With a stairs where you risk your live every time you go to the bath, with no kind of wardrobe or hangers in the room, a blanket that seems to be the nest of a diverse wildlife (yes, me and my girl got bitten too), only the staff gets abate the bad impressions. Try to avoid it if you can.

  • 5/5 Sharad J. 5 years ago on Google
    Hostel The Veteran is my favourite place to stay in Amsterdam Central. It's actually not a hostel but hotel only. It has 2 - 5 seater rooms so no issues for number of people visiting Breakfast is always included Best part is location. You see Canal and bridge view from your window. Night life is on other side of the veteran. Overall amazing place to stay :)

    (Translated by Google) Great location. A bad one. The bathroom with the curtain, little privacy while you are in the toilet. Attention to the floor shower, slippery, spartan but very comfortable. Bed not double but 2 single beds that obviously go away in the night. I would go back there again.

    If you’re looking for a place to sleep and shower with no perks this is definitely the place for you. No luxury but it’s the basics and that’s all I needed. Really greatly located. Hopefully the hostel can upgrade their carpets and maybe bathroom.
