Worst ever management I have ever seen I've stayed in many hostels across the world but haven't seen any management as negligent and worst behaving as this hostel elsewhere Highly highly do not recommend It's poorly maintained with stinky rooms and beds making sound and rude receptionist I have ever ever seen Please think twice before making booking for this place else you would regret like me Doesn't even support people coming with baggage and very badly maintained it's stinking all over

Due to a delayed flight, we checked in around 3 AM. Our assigned beds were already taken, and the reassigned beds had no pillows or blankets because other guests had taken them, so we couldn't sleep our first night. We eventually changed rooms, but both rooms severely lacked ventilation and smelled strongly of body odor and mold. The only compensation offered for a ruined night without proper bedding was two free drinks.

I love this place and always recommend it to everyone as I’ve stayed here a lot of times and know it well. I recommended this hostel to my friends and I’ve accompanied them and asked to use the common toilet, normal thing in many other hostels and random places I’ve stayed all around the world. They didn’t let me which is very uncommon, unprofessional and not nice being myself a host of an airbnb I know how service works.

I stayed at the Hostel around New Years everyone that works there is super helpful and friendly but the layout is lame not a good place to meet travelers. Also every morning at 10am there is a cleaning crew that comes into your room and starts cleaning wether your awake or not.

I stay with a guy I met in another hotel and they kicked us out without us doing a single thing wrong.. didn't even give a reason. I planned my trip and expenses and now without reason they don't extend me. This is not serious. So not professional. The guy I met he was at the other flying pig hotel and he stay there and he spoke to some girl that is involved with one of the workers of flying pig so he got jealous and blacklisted that guy. What that has to do with me?? Did I do it? I barely.know...

Overall disappointment on every level imaginable. Want to feel like an imposition? A criminal? As if you're very presence and need for basic hospitality services treated like an annoyance and inconvenience? Need a dust ridden old room, showers that are ice cold and fans blowing about to keep the dust moving, truly a place to catch a cold. It's a shame as I was looking forward to writing all good reviews and sharing my thoughts and perspective on each, while also honoring my background in hospita...

Lugar que no da la posibilidad de que uno pueda desayunar con su mercaderia. Te obligan si quieres desayunar a comprar su desayuno, que no es nada nutritivo y sin gluten Es impresionante tambien la Argentina que trabaja ahi ya que tiene un mal caracter y trata mal a los huespedes. Lo bueno que puedo recalcar, fue la limpieza de los baños, lugares creativos y cerca de todo

Great hostel! Super clean. Nice staff and convenient 24 hour reception. Location is perfect - it’s close to nightlife but not on the same street, so it’s not too loud.

Overall a very good hostel. Showers and Toilets were good. The staff were absolutely lovely and made a great environment in the hostel. Very easy to socialise in the bar and in the smoking areas so would highly recommend this spot for any solo travellers heading to Amsterdam

Our in room shower was not the best. We used the one out of the room which worked awesome. Other than that everything was great.

El hostel está muy bien en general, buena atención e instalaciones. Los baños son muy pequeños y pocos en relación a la cantidad de gente que se hospeda. Todo lo demás está bien, la cocina bien equipada.

The hostel is very good in general, good service and facilities. the bathrooms are very small and few in relation to the number of people staying. everything else is fine, the kitchen well equipped.

Such an amazing hostel would definitely recommend if you’re staying to sightsee Amsterdam. Only 7 mins from central station and everything is in walking distance. Nice bar downstairs with games and a smoking room 🍃 Located down one of the main shopping streets aswell. Beds are comfy but could be a bit more sturdier

Great bar, great activities, bathroom was great, shower was good, staff were lovely, amazing location!!! Only issue was how loud it was at night on the street until 4 am every night even during the week. ear plugs are free there which was an added bonus. Beds were clean and comfy, warm blankets and fluffy pillows!’

This was my first time staying at a hostel and it exceeded my expectations. I stayed in a 6 bed female dorm and it was clean and the room I was in was quiet at night. The location was great, you could walk to everything and you are close to Centraal station. Would definitely stay here again.

A comfortable place for one night and well situated for Amsterdam central and the main train station. Large dormitories have their pros & cons but most people were reasonably behaved. Cleanliness passable but not sure if I’d want to prepare, cook & eat a meal here but with som many food outlets on the doorstep this should not be an issue. Fire alarms when off a few times, thankfully there was no emergency. Door security seemed to be good and the hostel was easy to find. Cheap and cheerful...

Honestly, such a great experience. As a frequent traveller and hostel booker, I’ve seen alot of venues across the spectrum! The staff were all super friendly and helpful. Common areas and toilets were kept clean and organised. Everyone in my room was respectful of others sleeping and despite there being a party hostel vibe, it never felt disruptive. Beds were comfy and I slept well. Would definitely recommend and return! Thanks team, keep up the great work 🩷

This location is unbeatable however the price is pretty steep for a hostel. I had great roommates, but thought it was a little weird that in the 10 person mixed dorm there was 1 set of bunk beds pushed together. During my stay there was a couple on the top and 2 girls travelling together on the bottom but not sure how strict that policy is and if you could be sharing a bed with a stranger or not?
