What a wonderful stay

Oh, what a wonderful Hostel this is. It is brandnew and everything was just perfect! I loved the interior and details and the staff was superfriendly and welcomming. It is also located in a lovely neighbourhood easy to walk to the city center or with the tram in front of the door.

Hostal bueno, bonito y barato, tomando en cuenta el precio que se paga, resulta ser una de las mejores opciones en Amsterdam para ahorrar y descansar. No sirven desayunos, pero cuentan con alimentos básicos en recepción como café, té, pan y sandwiches las 24 horas.

El hostal es muy lindo y el personal super amable. No hay cocina, pero tienen una pequeña cafeteria y venden cafecito, te, sandwich, pan. Además muy amablemente me calentaron la pasta que me habia sobrado para cenar. El único pero que pondria es que al menos en mi habitación solo había 2 baños y 2 regaderas para 18 chicas. Nunca tuve un problema pero considero que es muy poco espacio para tantas personas sobre todo niñas.

This is one of the best Hostels I've ever stayed at. It was very clean, very safe, and with a very cozy atmosphere. The Cafe was open at all times of day, and was quiet and relaxing, with a beautiful decor. The rooms with all the bunks were fairly spacious and accessible. You are situated right next to the Tram line that gets you anywhere into the city (Including the Train Station) Would Recommend to Anyone.

The hostel is well designed and functional. In the shared (mixed) dorms, the bunk beds had curtains for privacy and large lockers for luggage storage. The bathrooms are clean and the showers have great water pressure. The reception/coworking cafe is very aesthetically pleasing and you get a free drink ticket from the coffee bar :) The only critique is the dorm bedrooms have motion sensor lights at nighttime, which could be distracting if you’re trying to sleep/stressful if you’re trying not to wake people up. Really enjoyed my stay!
