The location is great.. 15 mins walk from central station or with tram only 1 station. The staff all very helpful & nice. The only thing is there's no socket in the room to charge yr mobile, camera, etc. You need to go to the living room, there'r 2 or 3 sockets available & wait there :(

Very welcoming, very friendly. Easy walk from the train station, halfway inside the red light district, close to everything you might want to visit. GREAT breakfast, and reasonable prices at the cafe open until 1am. I didn't mind the curfew, and a few locals suggested that most places in town close at or before 2am anyway.

Location was great but there is curfew at 2 to 7. And also security is very low, my phone has stolen at n´ght while on charging. Staff is good and helpful, they speaks English really good.

the condition of the hotel not really good, maybe because there are too many people there, it doesnt look clean enough. the location is perfect, very close to centre.

El albergue está en pleno centro y está muy cuidado. Que nadie se impresione por lo de "albergue cristiano" que está de maravilla, tanto las habitaciones como la gente. Además tienen un enorme patio y también dan desayuno.

Under now circumstances go to this hostel if you want to know Amsterdam's night life. There is no way to enter the place after 2 a.m.

We were shocked because the hostel was Christian and has a curfew. Well that didn't matter at all. The staff is sooooo sweet and friendly. The garden inside is awesome. Best breakfast ever(warm pancakes and stuff).

All hostels were sold out and this was our last resort. I would probably leave it as a last resort again too.

This is THE place to stay in Amsterdam! It is right in the centre of the city, around the corner from Den Waag square and only 5 min walk to the Monument and main streets. It is around the corner from the light district, but don't worry about safety at all! You can just walk around the red light district, even if you are a girl. I would just be more careful and don't mind people who might call you "sweetie". It's just part of the culture in Amsterdam :) The hostel itself is really nice place,
