Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very well located within Rotterdam Central area. The area is a little busy and noisy because of all of the bars around, however it made it convenient when looking for a place to eat, etc. Museums, parks, and transportation are all within walking distance. Staff is young, dynamic, and always super friendly and helpful. We were two adults travelling and we enjoyed our stay.

For Budget friendly travellers. Value for money

Right in the middle of Witte. Really pretty hostel and price was affordable and helped to me to stay within budget. Brought a 24” luggage, couldn’t fit in the under bed locker but the room was big enough to store my luggage beside my bed. Within walking distances of multiple famous food places such as Supermercado and Bazar. Worth a visit!

One night in Rotterdam

This is a really great spor and by far one of my best hostel experiences.I needed a bed for the night because I was leaving early the next morning and it was unbelievably clean! Also, the service was bar none the best I’ve ever had. The staff are fun, friendly, and so knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Only thing to keep in mind is that if you are staying in a mixed dorm you will need to hike to the top floor which is three levels so pack light. Nevertheless, they also helped me with my luggage and agreed to store if I needed it and again just fabulous service. There is a bar on the main level and people were partying late into the night but I had no trouble going to sleep.

Be mindful that the hostel doesn't have any elevator. Got my room in the 3rd floor and i was carrying quite a big luggage, thankfully the staff was helping me to carry it upstairs! Location is great, fun street. 15mins walk to the centraal station

Great place but noisy

There were private curtains in the queen sized bed bunks. Everything was great about this place aside from the noise at night. As there’s a bar at night, the noise goes on until past midnight and is impossible to get sleep even with earplugs. Great if you love partying.
