They have been breaching confidentiality by reporting stuff about what I've said and done to third parties and people that have nothing to do with the property. And then when I ask them about this they deny it.

Would not try and save money to stay here again. The front desk people were rude and unhelpful. The metal bunks and plain walls makes you feel as if you're incarcerated. I would recommend to look elsewhere.

On the first day out, our party got split up and the hostel helped us a ton with calls back and forth. Everyone from the staff was so nice and the place was wonderful and safe for kids.

Considering it was a hostel booking, I didn't expect too much. The hostel was very spacious but unfortunately I found the room to be overwelmingly hot. There was no airflow and the windows barely opened, so I had three uncomfortable, sleepless nights. The kitchen/sink area was a bit messy and I didn't really understand the back outdoor area. It felt 'dodgy'. I stayed on the third floor - the red floor - and the colour just gave me a headache. Breakfast was simple but yummy, and was great for a hostel, and the hostel and rooms were very spacious. Reception staff could be a bit more friendly. Overall it was okay.

The hostel is a bit far from the tram stop (8 min walking) but I don't mind walking. Since is a little far from Amsterdam City Center you can sleep well without the busy city noises. The hostel is big, it has a lot of areas, including a garden! My room was very spacious. There are vending machines to purchase water (2 euros, 500ml) and snacks.

OK for environment but not so good for services

Overall is good just that crews in the restaurant are aggressive, they talk loudly and warn you if you are not doing the right thing, kinda feel like being humiliated in public as everyone is looking! If u r in this hostel, just make sure u do things according to their way or not u will just be a public star.

Mosquitoes in Amsterdam

In summer season the administration of this hostel prefer to save money on Air Conditioning and ventilation is coming through open windows. But the problem is that there are many Mosqitous outside at night (((( So visitors will suffer from the mosquito bites swelling.

Don't expect too much

We don't expect service from hostel but even we reported the faults of the room, e.g. lamps out of order, no action was taken.
