Liked: The hotel had charm and a very laid back character . Beautiful typical Dutch style town building . Breakfast is available from 9am onwards and is made to order . The staff know the area and are willing to advise if asked . The rooms are basic , like a hostel with bunk beds and a couple of single beds . Shower and toilet room is really small .....not for larger people shall we say ! Loved the location , if I go back to Amsterdam I would stay in that end of the city .

Disliked: Lumpy pillows . Small bathroom area. Missed having a TV or radio in our room .

Liked: Very good location. Friendly and easygoing staff but a little lazy. He didn't buy the food and there was nothing for the breakfast at already 9h, so I had to wait him. But I'am very glad to find this hostel at this time in Amsterdam!

Disliked: Jiamin left no negative feedback.

Liked: Great location, right by the city centre but just around a quiet corner so there was no noise from traffic / tourists etc. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, happy to recommend us places to go and gave us directions. Breakfast was made however late in the day we woke up, which was a bonus! Overall, the hostel had a very personable feel to it and I enjoyed my brief stay there. Dog lovers like myself will also love Molly, the resident pooch.

Disliked: Our room could've done with new carpet, and once it was mid-morning it wasn't so quiet but this didn't really affect us as we had woken up by then anyway.

Liked: The guy who welcomed us when we came was lovely & the little dog was adorable. We got our keys, paid & he gave us a map & marked in all the must-see places, which were spot on! He was very helpful! The property had great character, it was tiny! But totally added to our stay! The bedroom was a great size though. Very steep stair but they were fun! You just had to be fit & able!

Disliked: Not much really, all the little things added to our experience!

Liked: Staff extremely helpful, Elliot in particular, couldnt do enough for us, breakfast served at anytime (ideal for hangovers) Great local knowledge and hardworking guy. Good location, safe and secure. Outside being -8 degrees it was nice to go back to a lovely warm room with the heating on all day. All round Awesome value for money! Don't hesitate, book it!!!

Disliked: Only issues we had were the toilet faciities (although clean) only two in the building. Also being on the top floor the stairs were incredibly steep and spirally but you get used to it after the first day or so (even when drunk)

Liked: The location was the best aspect of this hostel. It was within walking distance from the central station and close to the tourist hot spots such as the Red Light District, Anne Frank House and museums. We were also close to the local shops and restaurants so we could afford to stay out in the city centre for longer without worrying about getting back. About the property itself, they didn't ask for a deposit on our room key (how trusting they are..) and we were given 1 key between the 2 of us for security reasons so we wouldn't think they were accessing our rooms while we were out (again..trust issues..) Overall you get what you pay for which for us was the cheapest most central hostel we could afford.

Disliked: Just about everything else! We were introduced to the building by an English guy who was more stoned than a Brighton beach, then shown to our room which was on the very top floor. The first flight of stairs to get to the reception were small enough but the stairs leading to our room were almost impossible to climb! We both struggled to climb up and considering I've only got size 3 feet that was saying something. If that wasn't the only concern our room was something else. We discovered a box of rat poison right beside my friends bed (I guess on a bright note they're doing what needs to be done to control a pest problem that a previous guest may have complained about!). The security locker didn't work so we kept our belongings with us. The bathrooms were very basic and so small that we didn't bother to use them, instead we opted for the sink as a better option (at least it was cleaner!) All in all, unless you're an unhygienic midget who likes vermin and doesn't mind being left on their own most of the time, then I wouldn't recommend this place.

Liked: Out of all the hostels we have stayed at through out Europe, this hostel was by far our best exerience! Like comments previous, when you get to this hostel it's like meeting up and staying with old friends rather than employees. The location is perfect! It's within walking distance of everything. The facilities are kept clean and well maintained. There are 2 bathrooms to share- both which are kept clean and well maintained also. There are steep stairs but you get used to it quickly. This is the most laid back hostel (which includes bfast and coffee) that we have ever encountered. Both the owner and the staff (Elliot) were the MOST helpful and generous people we have ever met. They went above and beyond the call of duty and we are so appreciative. Not to mention you can't beat the price!! If either of them ever come to Florida they have a place to stay! Jeff and I absolutely recommend this hostel to anyone considering staying in Amsterdam.

Disliked: Nothing!!

Liked: The location of Hotel Liberty was really great - 5 minutes from Centraal Station and a couple of minutes walk to the nightlife. The staff were really friendly and our quad room - two single beds and a bunk - was bigger than we had expected. The stairs are steep but if you're only traveling with carry on as we were then that was no problem. I would definitely recommend Hotel Liberty and we're already planning on going back to stay again.

Disliked: There was nothing that I didn't like.

Liked: The location of the "Liberty" is unbeatable. Almost all of Amsterdam's mayor attractions are more or less within walking distance, as is Amsterdam's Central Station (5 minutes), which was a big plus since we arrived by train from Schiphol Airport. The hotel itself is very small, this and the fact that the staff was very friendly, helpful and open minded made us feel at home almost imediately. The "Liberty" was also one of the cheaper alternatives in Amsterdam, so you definitely get a lot for your money. Of course you shouldn't expect a luxurious palace, but our small (but not too small) double room was tidy, as was the bathroom we shared with the room next to ours. Conclusion: If you want to stay in a nice, cheap and well located place, the "Liberty" could be your perfect choice!

Disliked: Since Amsterdam is a city known for its nightlife and thus attracts a young party crowd, and keeping in mind that the hotel is very small, it can get a little bit noisy, also during the night. I myself didn't mind, but for those who want to stay in bed rather than hitting the streets I'd recommend earplugs!

Liked: My boyfriend and I stayed at Liberty Hotel for three nights, and this was the best hostel experience of our lives! We´ve stayed at hostels around the world, but this was something really special. The people who worked there were extremely fun, cool, helpful, and generous hosts. It was more like staying with friends than at a hostel! The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and staying at Liberty Hotel really made the trip great for my boyfriend and me. The people who worked there went above and beyond the call of standard helpfulness, searching online extensively to find something for me because I don´t know any Dutch, cooking us dinner, sharing stuff with us, etc. Also, each morning we had a fantastic breakfast freshly made by the staff whenever we wanted to have it. If we return to Amsterdam, we wouldn´t even consider staying in another hotel than Liberty Hotel. Thank you so much, Shalina, Brent, Elliot, and Dora!!!!

Disliked: Nothing, it was perfect.

Liked: This hostel was defiantly one to remember. Staff were unbelievably helpful. They called me when I landed in Amsterdam to ensure I knew how to get to the hotel (Which was very easy and just 5 minutes from central station). Once there they gave me an overview of Amsterdam, places to go and sights to see. They provided me with a map and explained get around. Breakfast was included in the price and I must say they should charge extra as sundays brekkie was unbeliveable. All in all this was a really enjoyable experience. Staff made me feel so welcome. I've already recommended this to my friends and would defiantly stay again. Thank you Hotel Liberty for a truly memorable weekend.

Disliked: Stairs are a little steep however this normal with all Amsterdam properties

Liked: I enjoyed my stay here. There was a nice atmosphere and you could smoke in your room. There was also a nice little dutch lady who made us pancakes and coffee in the morning.

Disliked: The stairs to the top floor are very very steep and dangerous. I almost fell coming down them even when i was being careful. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY TO ANYONE WHO ISN'T COMPLETELY FIT AND ABLE.
