On the morning of 3/29/08, my companion and I walked from our Globe apartment down the street to the Globe bar for an advertised "All American breakfast." But when we got there the man serving wouldn't give us the time of day to take our order and when my companion asked how to go about ordering coffie he said, "I'll bring you your fucking coffee... don't start with me." Hence, we walked out and had ALL of our "American breakfasts" elsewhere. I'm glad our apartment wasn't in the main building so we didn't have to look at that rude server every morning when we left.

Other guests were extremely noisy, could not sleep for 2 nights, we complained and were moved to room where toilet didn't work. Rooms small and dirty, and way overpriced!!

It certainly isnt the worst hostel in Amsterdam. Right in the red light district, very close to coffee shops and cafes. Its quite a stroll to the museums and more cultural side of the Dam, but if u just want a place to rest your head between sessions and going out on the town, then Fuckin' A this is a pretty good choice. Beds are awesome.

The woman who attended us was very rude and aggressive. In the share rooms people were smoking pot (I don’t have problem with smoking a joint, it’s Amsterdam but not inside the room were I’m going to sleep at 2 am in the morning). Basically the place is dirty, the attention is bad and people are rude. I really do NOT recommend this place. My experience there was horrible.
