Liked: Two complete bathrooms in the room, awesome staff, free breakfast, guest kitchen, reasonable prices at the bar, water always available at the reception.

Disliked: It is almost a party hostel... the music at the bar goes on until 4 or 5 in the morning. Staying at the first floor made it difficult to sleep at times since the bass hit pretty hard on the room.

Liked: A really great place to get to know other travellers and an amazing location in the city. The hostel is alive at all hours of the night (but quiet in the areas where you sleep) which made it fun to come home to.

Disliked: There wasn't much to dislike. The rooms are clean, but the showers were rough.

Liked: Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent location, good bar. This hostel has a party atmosphere and is perfect if you're visiting Amsterdam with that agenda, either as a group or on your own. There is a 'coffee shop' directly opposite.

Disliked: Its very noisy, so it can be difficlult getting to sleep. The lockers are cages under the bed - their security is slightly questionable, but more annoying is the noise made when you open them and other room mates are trying to sleep! This hostel is quite expensive - but it is Amsterdam.

Liked: I really liked the chill atmosphere. Can't beat a great bar and a chill smoke room! The location was excellent, right in the middle of everything. It wasn't easy sleeping with the noise from the other roommates, but its a hostel so that's understandable. The beds were SO comfortable though. and the noise from the rest of the hostel was easily heard from the rooms. Overall the place was clean, which is always a nice quality for a hostel.

Disliked: Nothing really. This place was really awesome overall.

Liked: Its in a very good location from the main train station and has a very nice bar with relaxing smoking room and pool table! Daily drink specials!

Disliked: The beds are exactly 194cm so if your a tall person your feet with be hitting the end of the bed. One of the beds needed some lube because every time he would move, every one will be woken up from the noise it made. No internet in our room
