Review:
I stayed in this hostel for two nights and I only wish it had been
more! The location was good, in walking distance of most places and near to a
tram stop, it was clean and tidy and the rooms were spacious. The lockers by
the beds were big but i prefered to pay for the lockers downstairs. The wash
facilities were good and the staff at the hostel were really friendly and
welcoming as were most people in Amsterdam. The hostel is on the door step of a
beautiful tree filled park and the hostel itself is bright and cheerful and
feels so safe and cosy. i want to go back! right now...:)

Review:
I went to Amsterdam with my college. The hostel as we approached it
looked very nice and it was a big building. When we entered I was a bit
disappointed it looked all right but there was no welcome from any one and we
were very upset with our rooms there was food in the cupboards from the last
people and the sheets that were supposed to be clean were far from it. Breakfast
was very disappointing too all there seemed to be was ham and cheese as I am a
vegetarian and don't like cheese I had to wait till dinner time to eat. The bar
was very good we enjoyed most nights in there and was able to mix with people
from other countries. The area around the hostel is great with many tourist
attractions close by.

The location is a little out of the way from the Red Light but it is
worth the walk! Hey Amsterdam is beautiful! Or just jump on tram number 2 from
central station to Leidseplein and it's a 5 min walk! Much cleaner than the
Flying pig and provides more amenities. It's a 5min walk to the VanGhogh
museum and the park is right out the front door. The staff in the bar are
excellent and will recommend the best places in town to chat and smoke. Staff
are excellent all around and very helpful. Showers are hot, clean and private-
even in the dorms! Lockers are large, fit my 70L pack with room to spare! The
laundry machines include their own soap and the dryers work the first time
through! This hostel may be 3 or 4 Euro more per night, but it is well worth
the cost!! I strongly recommend this hostel when staying in Amsterdam it was
one of the best experiences I had. They also have internet access, though
easyinternet is still the cheaper place to go. The crowd is
somewhat younger but there is still a lot of diversity and good times to be
had by all. Pack safe, and happy travels!

Wow, what a great place! The rooms are clean and
spacious, the location is very good (near a major social
center and tram stops), the social life is good with a
nightly happy hour. Best of all, the staff is extremely
friendly and amazingly helpful. I stayed 5 nights at
this hostel and would have loved to stay longer. I
highly recommend it. |

Review:
While clean and neat I found this place impersonal and
devoid of personality. It was factory-like and processed
it's guests like factory workers. The hostel also caters
for large school groups. The social area wasn't social
at all. I moved to the Flying Pig after 1 nights stay
and was glad I did so. |

Review:
Excellent location. Very large hostel with accommodation
for about 400 people. Very clean and safe. Rooms quite
spacious. Bathrooms in rooms. Good heating. Laundry and
lockers available. Bar and restaurant at hostel (with
good food), several internet terminals. Staff very
friendly and helpful. Probably the best hostel I've
stayed in. Try and book before arrival as it fills up
quickly - esp. on w'ends. |

Private shower rooms, bathrooms for each dorm. Very
efficient and clean. Just watch out for the big school
groups! |
