    Location of the hostel is fantastic, but it comes with limited space, cramped and steep stairs. The reception was good and it was open 24/7. They rent you towels, locks, keys, etc. for a fee or a deposit. The room was okay, nothing out of ordinary. Broken shower head and nothing to dry the floor with after a shower. Price/quality comparison results in a 4/5 star rating.

    The staff is the best part of the hostel. They are ALL so kind and welcoming. They are the only reason I gave the review one more star. Unfortunately, this is really the only good thing about the hostel besides its location. We had absolutely NO HOT WATER. We all had to take freezing showers. They also don't clean the bathroom or room well at all. There is dust and grime all over. I was here for 6 days, and only the bedding is changed for new guest arrival. The toilet is cleaned I believe once a week, and I believe this is the only thing they clean in the entire bathroom. They also do not assign you beds, so there was some confusion about who's bed belongs to who. Even the staff would get my bed ready for a new guest when I was still a guest there myself. Also, the temperature of the room was never great. Always way too hot at night. I think I paid about $200 for 5 nights, and I certainly did not get my money's worth. With all these issues with the hostel I feel scammed. Don't stay here.

    The Staff is very efficient and also has great recommendations about what to do and visit. The place is very clean and it has rules in order to make your stay and the stay of your room companions better. It is located just a few meters away from the Dam Square which is amazing, I think there is no better location for an Hostel. The only inconvenient is that the stairs are very very steeped which might be a problem is you are trying to go to your room a little bit drunk.

    Good place to sleep over. Very central and looks new and clean. Room we stayed in was little bit overheated. Desk had broken card machine, receptionist wasn't really apologetic about it. Really steep stairs! If you have problems with walking steep stairs, this place is not for you.

    You get what you pay for, it's extremely small and you are required to go up a set of thin extremely steep stairs to the reception which is smaller than most bathrooms! Need to bring your own towels and locks for the lockers or you can rent/buy from reception. The entrance is also very difficult to find with almost no signage, you walk into an alleyway and it's on the left (a locked gate into another alleyway - you need to press a buzzer to be let in) just before (maybe after) the bike rental place! However the staff were super nice and upgraded me for the night to a smaller room as I was checking in very late for the one night! But it's very clean (however the wall sockets in my room (4 person female dorm) were limited (only 3).

    As arriving we're greeted with a smile and nice welcome, though after we see the steps we look in shock , the stairs were steep and very small, how ever the fact that the room is kept clean always, and the staff are very nice respectful and understanding patient it made our stay very pleasant ! Secure lockers that come from under your bunk bed, I enjoyed my stay i enjoyed the very close location, it was a little expensive 80 euro for the 3 days although very much worth it, as the shops were close bars and cafes, supermarkets are a little bit out something like 20 minutes. If i had a choice i would choose them again despite it being a little expensive because it was worth it! 6 bed hostel we went to on the third floor.

  • 3/5 Lore P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The location is great and the staff is very friendly. But it's just for a night. 1 bathroom for 10 girls. There are not enough plugs near the beds. There are no common areas, kitchen, the stairs are very dangerous, they helped me with my luggage. But the price was very cheap so as I said it is for a night. (Original) La ubicacion es genial y es el staff muy amable. Pero es solo para pasar una noche. 1 baño para 10 chicas. No hay enchufes suficientes cerca de las camas. No hay zonas comunes, cocina, las escaleras son muy peligrosas a mi me ayudaron con el equipaje. Pero el precio fue muy barato asi que como dije es para pasar una noche.

    Great stay, friendly staff. Their location is really good, almost at the heart of the city near the most happening places. Budget friendly. The only thing that sucks is their wifi.

  • 3/5 Chris O. 4 years ago on Google
    Good price (for Amsterdam) and good location. Rooms were OK with comfortable beds and bedding. Had some very noisy people staying there the same time as me but hey, that's just hostels sometime.

  • 5/5 Karla Michelle Martinez H. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice hostel! Comfy beds and clean, good restrooms. The staff was very friendly with me, excellent location. I think that was the best. You have everything super close, especially the Central Station, just 8 min walking. I recommend this place for short stays. The only thing I didn't liked was the "only cash payment", but that isn't the big thing.

  • 3/5 Dolrich A. 4 years ago on Google
    Value for money. Basic bed, small stairs (all in Amsterdam), no waiting area, general space where you can just sit, open a laptop, eat, weak wifi signal, etc. What makes it ideal is its location, really in the center of Amsterdam and the staffs are really helpful and friendly.

  • 1/5 Genia F. 4 years ago on Google
    unfortunately terrible stay at this hostel, would give a negative star if i could. as there were no pre-assigned beds, i reserved a spot but came back to disappeared belongings and bed taken. reception was not helpful with the situation at all, told me i could stay if i change a dirty bedsheet or leave with no refunds. central but hard to find location and generally not a social vibe in this hostel.

    Very clean and affordable. It is not wheel chair friendly for mobility disability but, for explorers and workers it's great! Be carefull on those stairs after a drink!

  • 1/5 Michelle J. 4 years ago on Google
    I booked a stay for mid march and had to cancel due to the pandemic. Spoke to the owner on the phone TWICE about getting my refund..even asked him if it would for sure reflect in my account. It never did. The second time we spoke on the phone he said they were closing and if it never went to my account to email him. Well, there is no contact email available and I'm broke in a pandemic so I'm pretty upset with the greed and the lack of professionalism as I got 3 full refunds from airbnb so my request should be honored as promised. If you're reading this owner-Michelle Patterson was booked for Friday March 13th. Remember me? I didn't want to have to leave a bad review but you have left me with no other option. And I would still like my refund so don't spite me.

  • 3/5 Kevin L. 4 years ago on Google
    Good location to central Amsterdam attractions Price was great Bit difficult to find as it is down an alley way and has poor signage Rooms were clean and all facilities were functional The downfall is the stairs as they are tiny and pretty much vertical, its like navigating your way up mount everest with a suitcase. They are also quite hazardous when you are extremely incapacitated, otherwise pretty good

    (Translated by Google) I spent 2 nights in this hostel, here is my point of view with strong point / weak point Strong point: - impeccable location, between the red light and the place du dam, trade just below - nice and helpful staff - possibility to leave luggage on the spot Weakness : - no common space - cleanliness of the premises, mold in the bathroom, and hair all over the place - quality of bedding - very little electrical outlet It's a hostel that is good for a weekend (Original) J’ai passé 2 nuits dans cette auberge de jeunesse, voici mon point de vue avec point fort / point faible Point fort : - emplacement impeccable, entre le red light et la place du dam, commerce juste en-bas -personnel agréable et serviable - possibilité de laisser les bagages sur place Point faible : - pas d’espace commun - propreté des locaux, moisissures dans la salle de bain, et poil un peu partout - qualité de la literie - tres peu de prise électrique C’est une auberge qui dépanne bien pour un week-end

  • 5/5 Emily G. 5 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Prior to my stay, I was worried after reading some of the reviews about the hostel being hard to find. Although it was off the main road and through an alleyway, I had used google maps to find my way there no problem. I really liked how the hostel was a little hidden so that it was not crazy busy near the entrance. This also made the hostel feel safer since the alleyway was gated and quiet. Another thing that I was worried about after reading some reviews were the stairs. They were definitely steep and would make carrying luggage up the stairs a challenge. I was travelling with a large backpack and did not have any issue climbing the stairs. Once I got to reception which was just one floor up, I also noticed a sign saying something like, "ask for help with luggage on the stairs" and the man working at the desk asked if he could help with my bags. Overall, the stairs were not an issue. When it came to the room that I was staying in (10 bed all female), it was very roomy and there were large windows that made the room very bright. The room and bathroom inside the room felt very clean. My stay was 3 days, two nights and I noticed that the bathroom and bedroom floor were cleaned both days I was there. Since check in is at 2pm and I arrived to the city very early that morning, I was worried about were to keep my bag during the day. I went to the hostel right in the morning to see if there was a luggage room or locker that I could rent. The only option was to leave my bag in reception, entirely unlocked. Although I would never suggest to do this, there were already over 10 bags there before I had arrived and there was a man working at reception 24/7 so I had no issue leaving my bag unlocked in reception. I had no problem with my stuff staying safe even. Another upside to this hostel was that it was in the perfect location. It was an easy 20 minute walk from central station (where you catch a train to the airport or major bus terminal). It was also right all the major shopping stores were and there were tons of restaurants and groceries stores near by. There were also some awesome coffeeshops nearby. The only downside to this hostel is that the wall outlets were all right by the door so I was not able to charge my phone at my bed. I would suggest bringing along a portable phone charger so that you would keep the portable charger plugged in away from your bed and have your phone charging next to you at night for convenience of having your phone safely next to you and also for ease of having an alarm right by you. I had a really great experience at Central Station Hostel and highly recommend it!
