One of the negative things is that although we booked for 7 people, we finally went 6, and the guy @ the reception told us that there was no problem, that only 6 would pay...three days later we had to pay the extra-never-used bed... be aware with cancelations! rest os ok, good brkfast and close 2 the city.

This accomodation was the cleanest and cutest that I have ever seen in Amsterdam. For this price that's the best value, the area is safety and clean, really close to the center and the breakfast was nice and more than enough. If I went back in Amsterdam I would choose this hotel again!!!!

This hostel was great. The room had a shower in it which was fantastic as we did not expect this as the toilet is shared. The room also had a tv with several english channels. The location is good as you can use the tram to get anywhere you want to go without having to be right in the centre. Good place to stay!

The property was in close proximity to the main area of Amsterdam (20 mins walk). Cheap price - included breakfest (two eggs and toast and once with Cheese and ham slice ), tea and coffee all day (but ran out of coffee at night), shower facility for double room (non dorms) and no curfew. However, our safe box did not work so we were unable to keep our valuables safe. Our shower tap broke off and we asked the staff kindly on two occassions if they could fix it but due to their very relaxed attitude they never did! Luckily my partner was able to stop the hot water from flowing and steaming up our room! The stairs are a bit mental but after all this is Amsterdam (not good for those who are not very fit). We also think that we may have had a little visitor in the night -we had some mice/rat poo near the wardrobe and then noticed a trap near it too! This place was good in terms of a cheap Hostal stay but we wont be staying here again I'd rather pay a little extra!

this was a good place, nice breakfast, and our room had a flat screen tv and a sink (and the shared bathroom facilities were fine too). not in the very center but we still could walk everywhere we wanted to go.

they asked for £20 deposit, and will return upon check-out, but when i checked-out, the staff did not return the money and i have to asked for it. I thought it should be a standard procedure to hand back the money upon check-out. Its a shame, please be careful whoever is going to stay there.

Rooms are tiny with very small double beds if you book a double private, shared bathroom was ok, both shower and toilet were cleaned every morning without fail which was good. Constant smell of weed being smoked (ofcourse) :) Free wifi, limited kitchen use within certain hours, crockery and cutlery under lock and key out of the time limits. Not real close to the main city area but not to far to walk there, aprox 10/15 minutes. Supermarket is close 5 minutes away. Tram 9 will get you to and from the central train station stopping right near the hotel/hostel. It was ok but not great.

* A very good location an' propperly connected to interesting places by tram. * They give you a Key so you can go in an' out whenever you want. * Great breakfast * can use the kitchen. * can play billard. Did not like: * no elevator and very uneasy stairs to "climb" to our room (although it only has one floor). * Can not say that our room was confortable... (dont know about others) * too much people to sare 2 showers and 2 WC in the whole hostel.
