It’s a good hostel, highly recommended. Only few things are it’s very dusty & stuffy in the room that I stayed. Unable to open the window to circulate air from outside. My dust allergy got very bad. Also, they don’t clean the bathroom as often.

While the hotel itself was nice and our stay could have been enjoyable, our experience was completely ruined by the unprofessional behavior of the receptionist, specifically the Asian lady at the front desk. She treated us with unnecessary rudeness and disrespect throughout our stay. Without clear explanation, she charged us extra fees and still made unreasonable demands — including asking us to remove our belongings from the room, even after we had paid the extra amount she insisted on. Her attitude was unwelcoming and dismissive, making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. We expected much better service from a place like this. Unfortunately, because of her poor conduct, I cannot recommend this hotel to others.

It’s nothing special. It’s definitely a cheaper option considering how expensive Amsterdam is. I had a pod, which is the way to go. It was very quiet and clean. It is a little bit away from anything, but the 30 minute walk to the central station is very scenic. The one issue that I had was that I had forgotten my Apple Watch in my pod. I contacted the staff to get it for me. I just got a message that read the cleaning staff will find it when they find it and I can pick it up. This is not a pair of shoes, so I had hoped that someone would have made an effort to get it while I was out. Because I was outside of Amsterdam, it took some time to get back there. My pod had not been cleaned yet, so my watch was sitting there. I had left it on a hook, and I knew exactly where it was. I think a staff member could have retrieved it.

I was on the top of 3 bunk beds, it is impossible to get up there first of all and I brought my stuff up like I usually do. It was a real struggle. It was also a million degrees in there. I was waking up every 5 minutes in my own sweat and didn’t sleep much at all really. Plus everyone in my room was quite noisy until 5 am and I had to be up at 6 am for a flight so there was next to no sleeping. I had a better sleep at the airport in wooden chairs. I’ve stayed at a generator before it and was great. Just make sure to get the beds at the bottom. Not bunk beds.
