I was impressed by my stay overall. Would’ve been nice for them to clean the rooms at least once a day. With how many ppl in a room, the smell could be interesting

Extremely dirty and filled with shady people

My honest opinion is this place is outdated, low in overall comfort and overpriced for a hostel. I booked away from city centre as I was traveling home overseas the next day and needed my rest. I got anything BUT rest here. The walls are so thin and no one respects quiet hours here. I have stayed in many hostels, but this was the first I ever experienced being bunked with loud and disrespectful bunkmates. I was asleep before they barged into the room at 22:30 and carried on for almost 45 minutes before heading out to party. The front desk was pitiful. They told me only if they were loud after quiet hours (which apparently is 23:00 when I have only ever experienced 22:00) that could they do anything. They tried to hand me ear buds and then word for word said to me, "what do you expect, people come here to party." I took this as, "Deal with it." That does NOT make it OK for people to be disrespectful of those who are clearly trying to rest. It IS possible to get ready late and respect others trying to rest! The same bunkmates came back at 4am from being out all night and made a bunch of noise for at least 15 minutes before it quieted down. To worsen my experience, I discovered the showers turned off every 20 seconds. It was cold in the washroom and there was no way to adjust the temperature of the water. It was so hot that I could not even enjoy my shower after the little rest before traveling. Sad to say, I will not be returning to stay here.

overall enjoyable stay

Vriendiljke personel

staff is very friendly, and happy to help. bed is comfy and clean, same with shower rooms and bathrooms. also convenient location to get to the centre!

The place was good. I like they have great rules for not letting anyone do drugs or smoke inside the building. They have bikes that you can rent and they also provide you with dryer, ironing etc for free.

Friendly and approachable reception. Fully-equipped kitchen with free coffee, tea and some guests-shared snacks. Lidl supermarket is just a stone throw away.

Clean environment

If you are desperate for a hostel in Amsterdam I wouldn't suggest staying here. Its located in the sloterdijk area. Its probably one of the roughest and dirtiest areas of Amsterdam. To get to the city from the hostel you'll need to spend 9 euro for a 24hr ticket for the trams and buses. Its definitely not convenient. Especially at night time. The hostel building is divided between students accommodation and government housing. The hostel is over priced for what you get and that isn't much. I'd say that most of the staff want to be american gangstas. With gangsta music being played over the sound system. The tall Croatian front of house staff member has a serious attitude problem. I think that he is on a power trip. Definitely not the kind of person you want working at a hostel. I'm sure that his friend is living in the common room. You see his friend sleeping in there. The cleaning staff do a good job though trying to keep the place clean. If you like staff with attitude, gangsta vibes, weed smoke in the air 24/7, traveling a distance every time you want to visit the city then this might be the hostel you are looking for in the suburbs of Amsterdam. I know that I wont be staying there again.

Staff were friendly and helpful, place was clean, amenities functioned well.

It was an easy stay. Staff is always available. The area is quiet. Its an easy bike ride to get downtown. The lobby is a great place to meet the other people staying at the hostel

Clean, helpful, recommend this location far away, central 20min

Good

I had misgivings as soon as I walked through the door, as there were quite a few shady looking characters hanging around. I don't know what the place used to be like but nowadays it seems like a place for itinerant workers, not for backpackers. The staff on reception were friendly and let me store my bag when I arrived early. When I returned and was able to access my room though, things got worse. The room stank and there were piles of clothes everywhere - clearly long term residents. The tin hat on it was when I'd only just walked in the room and the almost naked guy lying on one of the beds asked me to get in it with him. I picked up my bag and was out of there like a shot. Seriously, I advise you to stay somewhere else.

Wonders never end

Very friendly stuff. Clean enough. Location is not very handy but so-so acceptable.

Good location

Overall, its a great place, especially for its price. However, if you arent a cannabis smoker, you may not enjoy that smell/smoke coming into the building from the crowd gathering at the entrance.Maybe Ive been unlucky at that particular time.

It's a nice hostel but far away from city center and at least I minutes walk from the nearest public transport. A bit noisy all day and night. The good things were that , the hostel is clean, they have secure luggage hold and they staff is friendly and practical

Great service from the staff very clean environment. It’s a little bit far away from the city center but in a quiet neighborhood.

I love the neighborhood and whole place all together, it’s was my second time that I am staying here during my travels. I am looking forward to come again next time when I decide to visit Amsterdam. All the best.
