Liked: That it was close to everything.

Disliked: i did not like the room at all, we did not get told when we booked it we would be sharing with random people. There was also no space in the room at all to move or in the bathroom and shower area it was impossible to get changed especially because there was no curtains and the room over looked the smoking area. The light in the room was also terrible we could not see a thing which made getting ready and packing really hard and not enjoyable at all.

Liked: The rooms were clean and you had ur own light, plug and safe on your bed. I liked the themed rooms. The Staff were great, we actually stayed here the end of oct but we made a mistake booking and turned up a month too early. The girl at reception had our booking transfered and in a room wthin 10mins without any problems so we really appreciated that being it was our mistake,

Disliked: Only thing I'd suggestthey could do is there are a lack of mirrors for getting ready. only one in the bathroom and wasn't near any plug sockets

Liked: The place was under construction so we had to deal with some noise but overall it was a good place to stay. I really liked the power outlet, light and shelf space with each bed including the top bunks. Location was perfect and right in the middle of all the "action".

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: Can walk from and to Central station, and anywhere in Amsterdam. Possibility to rent a bike near from hostel. Quite good breakfast for 3€. Special atmosphere, quite and safe, nice personnel. Room cleaned every day.

Disliked: Little bit dark and depressing. Red light disctrict is little bit dirty compared to other parts of Amsterdam but with its own atmosphere. Missing at least small kitchen to eat something in the evening.

Liked: Hotel was really good, unfortunatley there was works going in on but it was only during the day (when we were not in). Has free internet , staff was very helpfull. great location, close to everything. En-suites were clean and the shower was powerfull and hot. overall was a really great experiance.

Disliked: Location funny enough: even though me and my friend came to party, when it is time so go to sleep it was very hard to because the red light never sleeps. apart from that and not being able to smoke weed in your rooms (which is the law so its not there fault) everything was really good.

Liked: Amazing location in the red light district and near to everywhere.:) And I liked very much he room's own bathroom.

Disliked: I don't like if a room is too dark and here our room was very dark in daylight too. So this place is ideal for vampires.:) But actually it wasn't a big problem because we spent not too much time in our accomodation.

Liked: Safe area on the edge of the Red Light District. Great for people watching at night. Friendly staff and helpful. Large lockers, secure room entrance with keycodes. Patio in the back to smoke, no smoking rooms. Lobby was a great meeting point for single travelers. A bit more pricey then other hostels, but it was well worth it for location.

Disliked: Nothing really. I can't really complain.
