Lovely location right next to Vondelpark. Breakfast was good and staff were friendly. Not enough bathrooms for the rooms, and not a good setup for the showers.

It was fine. As far as hostels go, I would go here again. The only downside is that the common area is usually noisy and full of people drinking. So if you’re looking for a hostel that is quieter for you to read or work, this probably isn’t a great option.

Good!
It was a very nice place. I will confidently stay there when I come to Amsterdam again in the future. There are two minor issues: There is no elevator and the internet speed is not that good. However, It was a great experience overall.
