What I liked was the spirit of the place. The staff was particularly nice to me. Not too exaggerated but really friendly. I first was served by Jules. They make me really comfortable and find a solution for my messy check in. David helps a lot too. No info was forgotten which didn't make me feel like: hu... If I knew....I think he is the one I saw the most. He doesn't like cheese. But apparently he likes carrot 🥕 no one is perfect hein. ! Wondering if the cat got a raise recently? Cause he did the best job ever!! More food for him!!!

The host here helped me secure my online key for entry. I'm not the best with phone technology, but no problem, they were there. I liked the cube sleeping a lot, and the showers and bathrooms super clean. Maybe 15 min walk to ferry to central station. Hope to be back

I want to thank you for everything. It is a perfect business. It is very clean. The staff's style is amazing. They are very friendly and smiling. They helped me in every way. It has the best location in Amsterdam. It is 10 minutes from the center and it is noiseless. It was a stay that exceeded my expectations. I can say it is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. When I come to Amsterdam again, this will be my choice again.

While the location of the hotel wasn't in a very central position, there is a metro station (Diemen Zuid) on a 10 minute walking distance and one of the metro lines passing by there (line M53) goes directly to the city centre so that's good. It was also nice that at the same station, there is a direct train line to go from the hotel to the airport and vice versa. As far as the hotel goes, it was really worth the money I paid. Also, the common areas were really clean.

All hostels in Amsterdam

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
