“ It was a nice place to stay. The rooms are very modern and clean. Breakfast was also fairly okay, definitely for its price. The staff could be more friendly though. ”

“ This hostel lacks a central "hangout" area aside from the cafeteria, so it feels less homey than other hostels I've stayed at, but for the price it's a clean and convenient place to stay. One of the staff members was consistently brusque, but everyone else was agreeable and helpful. ”

“ This hostel/hotel is clean and in a great location. As the other reviews mention the staff is not at all friendly or overly helpful, though they were not rude. This is not a hang out hostel since there is a school across the street but you can't beat how close it is to the museums and downtown area. The directions that they give you when you book are not that helpful - you actually have to walk down the street and turn down a side street to get to the hostel, however, it's not difficult to find. ”

“ The staff, especially the manager was extremely rude! When I asked the manager a question about how to get to my train station early in the morning, he did not give me any information and walked away before I was finished talking. As well, my phone was stolen out of my hostel room BY THE STAFF (cleaner named Robert). The manager did nothing about it and told me it was my fault. "I don't hire thieves" he said repeatedly. News flash, no one hires thieves. I was very unhappy with the staff. ”

“ The hostel is near all the visiting sites in Amsterdam which can be easily reached by feet. Service and staff are very good and efficient. The atmosphere inside the building was very quiet and calm. The price range is excellent considering the fact that you have access to a multitude of services including free wi-fi. The feature I liked the most was that you could borrow an umbrella from the reception for 10€ and once you checked out you got your money back. ”
