Liked: The beds were clean and there is free WIFI, towels and breakfast. It's only a 10 minutes walk from the trains station (Amsterdam Centraal).

Disliked: Apart from the good thinks mentioned above, everything else was quiet bad. It is a rundown hotel, most dorms a located in the basement with only a tiny window. The 10-bed-dorm had its own bathroom but it was not very clean. Also the room i was in hat NO LOCK on the door, so everyone could have just walked in. Also you don't have to identify yourself at the check-in, so everyone can just walk in and out as they please. No Lockers either, so if you decide to stay take all your valuables with you. There is a small common room at the reception, but it doesn't invite to stay, so don't expect to meet new people in the hostel. But if you just looking for a bed and spend the whole day and night in the city, it is "not so bad".

Liked: It was very close from the city, can walk to all atractions in Amsterdam and it is also close to central train station. Breakfast was good.

Disliked: There weren't hot water in the bathroom and the shower didn't work properly. No lookers neither but this is not a big deal though

Liked: the dining area and reception look welcoming and cosy, and the breakfasts are good.

Disliked: the view of the hotel from the street is deceptive. what you can see from the window looks great, but when you actually get upstairs you find treacherous staircases, crowded rooms, filthy bathrooms and absolutely no security for your valuables. the staff have nothing to offer you in the way of tourist information, only a map which they do not explain to you. terrible experience.

Liked: I liked that the staff were polite and friendly towards us. It wasn't too far from the centre of Amsterdam and the wi - fi was very good. I'd reccomend it for people travelling on a budget who don't might roughing it a bit, though. The breakfast was quite good also.

Disliked: It was very dirty and in need of restoration, that much was clear from the onset. It smelled a bit odd in the hall also, and the door to our room was so hard to open. It's such a pity though - with a good scrub and a few licks of paint and repairs, this place would be restored to its former glory!

Liked: The location is central to all of the popular attractions in Amsterdam & the train station. Free breakfast.

Disliked: The rooms do not provide any security for your items. The door on room did not lock, let alone close. The front desk offers a safe for your items but I would not rely on it. There is no verification of which items you have put in their custody. Not worth the expensive rates.

Liked: It is the only hostel that allowed me to book for one night only during the weekend in the high season (August)

Disliked: the dorms are very noisy and there is no way you can sleep if you come in late (what else in Amsterdam!?)... it seems that the doors in this hostel creak more than normal, slam louder and bathrooms in the dorms are inside the room itself, so you can hear everyone doing their business.

Liked: the location

Disliked: slept 16 people in one small room with one bath/toilet. There was always water on the floor in the bathroom, and it seemed overall unclean. The beds were bad, and the door to the room was always open to everyone.

Liked: Free breakfast. So much coffee!! Only like a 10-15 minute walk to the Red Light District.

Disliked: There was no key for the room. It was 'dormitory style' so anyone could walk into the room with like the 15 beds or whatever it was. Bathroom wasn't so clean, but what else can you expect?
