The hostel is near a tram stop. Just 22mins walking distance from the Amsterdam Central Station. Staff were approachable and helpful. The bed was comfortable and rooms were clean. A locker provided for securely store your important stuffs. Washroom was very clean, I found this to be the best aspect of the hostel, based on my experience in few other hostels in the past. They store your luggage same day before check in and after check out and charge a very small fee , its very useful. Overall I will definitely recommend this hostel.

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

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.
