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.

It was really close to the venue where I had a concert. It was so nice and comfortable!! Seeing girls was so good! I was so confident that I will be safe and fine :) I don't really use make-up, but make-up stands are so good :) I also liked that there were common activities!! It's unfortunate I didn't spend that much time there. Plus there was free food, movies to watch. Totally recommend!! :)

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.
