The property is perfectly located just outside of the central area, making it easy for walking, dining, parking, shopping, etc. The parking options require a bit of patience given they are a few blocks away and a bit complex to find, but they worked out OK. The staff was friendly and very helpful. There was a slight difference of 'things included' between the Expedia booking and the actual reservation, so I would simply recommend verifying with the property prior to arrival.

amazing place to stay, but the walls to the corridor are thin so if your a light sleeper you'll be woken up in the morning.

Thoughtful hostel

I think I would have enjoyed this hostel more had I not read raving reviews first. I enjoyed this hostel and the staff and neighborhood are nice. The Wi-Fi situation was irritating. But all and all a nice place to be to getaway from the crazy Amsterdam prices.

Superfijne plek om te verblijven. Hartelijk personeel, mooie kamer, heerlijk bed en een fijn café erbij waar je in huiselijke (echte hostel)-sfeer kan genieten van ontbijt of lekkere baksels. Aanrader!

Erg gezellig personeel! Altijd in voor een praatje, en niet onbelangrijk erg behulpzaam in praktisch meedenken. Super heerlijk eten en drinken en een fijne warme sfeer, net buiten het centrum.
