Liked: The location was amazing - close to centraal station and right in the red liught district. tons of great places to eat and drink and walkable to many sights. great breakfast.

Disliked: I don't think the staff really cleaned at all my first day, the halls smelled odd and the shower in my ensuite dorm bathroom would floor, and you'd have to wait for it to drain and squeegee the floors. also only 1 accessible outlet in a room with 12 people.

Liked: The staff was helpful and gave me a lovely map of amsterdam. There is a shared toilet and bathroom inside the dorm, which is quite convenient. The location is good as it is close to the damsquare.

Disliked: The security is juz ok since when i walked into the hostel at night, no one checks my identity and i juz headed straight upstairs to my room. The smell of cannabis made me feel sick.

Liked: The location is great and there's a bar downstairs which is great if you're too tired to venture far. You can also get a map of the city from reception.

Disliked: The rooms are only average; the showers slightly less than average. You're not allowed to eat in the rooms, either. (Honestly with all the hosteling I've done I've never really encountered anyone trying to eat a full meal in a room, but snacks should be allowed!) In addition, the elevator was questionable, and the stairs were even worse. My friend and I actually tried to walk to the top floor and found ourselves locked in the stairwell...
