If you’re looking for a good time at a hostel this is absolutely the spot. Basically a nonstop party especially with the smoking room lol. That being said it’s not so easy to get sleep here always as the dorms pack a couple dozen people. 100% a great affordable option downtown with easy walkable access to all Amsterdam has to offer
