Appallingly rude welcome displaying thinly veiled anti-tourist sentiment, with the dodgy addition that full payment has to be made by cash-only, falsely advertised the rooms, wafer thin mattresses, and moth-eaten rags as 'towels'. 

There is literally zero reason to go here and every reason to avoid; however cheap it is: Do. Not. Go.

Avoid - Avoid - Avoid

Sept 14 morning found bed bug bites at my back near right shoulder. Sept 15 morning had bites at my left arm and face. They haven't completely recovered after 9 days as showing in the attached photos. The hotel responded to my email saying that "we checkt the room with you and we foud nothing."
I stayed 3 nights in room 5 on the 3rd floor and moved to the bed next to mine after the Mexican guy left, with the sheets from my original bed because the bunk bed was short and narrow. The staff said the bugs must came from that Mexican guy! In the morning of 15th in the reception room, a young girl was complaining that she had bed bug bites on her body.
She was also asked to pay cash after arriving like me and the Mexican guy. The hotel owner - a Moroccan who owns a few hostels in Amsterdam has been trying not paying tax to the government by asking for cash payment. The room rate for Sept 13 and 14 were three times higher than the night of Sept 12. And when I tried to write a review, it showed that I didn't stay there and the hotel must have done something wired on Booking.com and tried not letting me to write a review because they know that the truth would be revealed. There are so many negative reviews about this hostel about bed bugs but none are on Booking.com.

Bed Bugs !!!

Arrived at the hostel and I had a really bad gut feeling. They refused card payment and sent us to an ATM to pay for the rest of our stay. Staff were very cold and odd. Got to the room, 5 bunk bed, 3 beds high in a small room with no aircon or fan and a tiny locker to store your stuff. There was one tiny toilet/shower room (which was dirty) between these 15 people. When you showered you were basically standing on the toilet. One sink the bedroom. I slept here one night and every time people entered the room, the entire bunk bed shook. No where private to get changed so had weird men watching you. Was absolutely boiling over night and had to sleep in the bunk with my bag as there was nowhere to put them. Ended up leaving and booking a different hostel as I was dreading going back there to sleep. 

Overall, bad vibes, bad facilities and so so claustrophobic. PLEASE save yourself the money and book elsewhere. 

Female traveller, 23yrs, stayed in 10+ hostels before.

Worst hostel I’ve experienced

Everything is bad here, dealers coming in and out, men looking at you badly, tiny bathrooms, toilets without lid, people having sex in the bedrooms, otherwise they don’t have exclusive female bedrooms. I felt so unsafe and bad that everyday I took my backpack to the lockers at the library just to be peaceful about my things

Run away, it’s terrible

We booked this to stay in Amsterdam for 3 nights. We arrived off the train and walked the hour to get here from the station. Upon checking in we received a huge bill which was larger than expected, which was due to the new tourist tax in Amsterdam. As far as we could tell not many other restaurants and shops were charging us a higher rate and assumed that this place just really hated tourists.

In terms of our stay, we were lucky to have good roommates who were quiet and discreet in our room of 21. The shower and toilet facilities were pretty disgusting and the bedding of one of my mates was covered in stains. 

They also advertise a free breakfast, it’s just tea and coffee which is hardly a breakfast. For the price we are paying the service is crap, it doesn’t feel safe and we have no privacy. To keep our bags secure during the day we had to purchase lockers which made changing and grabbing stuff from our bags difficult. Do not come here.

Do not go here

In terms of a place to stay, it ticks all the boxes. The hygiene on the other hand is another story, apart from the fact we were moved rooms whilst out of the hostel, loosing a pair of PJ’s and a fleece in the process  and not informed untill we came stumbling in at 0400 our new room had a genuine villain in it. When we awoke at 1000 the next day we found that one of our lovely room mates had Pooed, yes POOED 💩 on the floor of our room before making a quick exit.  Not just the floor the door handle and sink. 

Once we escaped the room we informed the staff who were less than surprised. Still got the deposit back so 10/10 for customer service. 

Overall not a bad place to stay a bit far away from the centre so is an absolute trek to get back if you can’t obtain a taxi. Beds are comfy enough and showers do the job.

Poo man

Hi I’m here more then one week nice and quiet place easy access to supermarket surrounding by cafe restaurants  bakery and more …, most important very close to the city by walking. I find It nice clean and tidy the staff so friendly and polite and very helpful. 
There’s cantine in the hotel you can bring your own food full kitchen available with all necessary fridge microwave coffee machine…

Peace of mind

The worst conditions I have ever come across. I do not understand how this place is running. 

My boyfriend and I ( from Australia) checked in on the 31st of July and were planning to stay for 3 nights. We paid cash upfront and were assisted by the staff with a key and directions. (Total amount coming to $306 euros, coming to approximately $512 AUD.) 

Upon reaching our room, we searched for our bed numbers- only to find other people’s belongings on the beds given to us. Some of the other female guests who were Italian explained that the bed numbers on the hostel card don’t correspond to which bed you sleep in and they were told to choose any free bed too.

A staff member came in to assist us with our concerns that someone is sleeping in our specific beds we had paid for. They told us to sleep in another two beds. The state of the room and beds were not to the expectations. The beds we were given to use were also unclean with stains on the bed (see attached picture). When this was brought up with the front desk they gave us blankets for us to change the bedding ourselves.

The staff had no idea who was staying in this room and if the beds were in use. This made us feel very unsafe and unclean. I did not feel comfortable staying in a place where  the staff didn’t know the guests staying in there and where the bed sheets and room standards were so poor.

We immediately spoke to the staff at reception and told them of our concerns. Following this we booked another hotel (for the same price and beautiful private room), last minute and left. Staff told us that management would be able to assist us in receiving a refund (even though we paid in cash?)  

Still awaiting to hear back from management regarding a refund. Heard nothing. Take it from me, if you want to enjoy your stay in Amsterdam, don’t torture yourself and stay here.

Staff have no idea who is staying here. Terrible unclean conditions.

Small  dirty and smelly room , The guy at the reception was rude and didn't want to help. 
Only In the recipe they told us that we need to add more 50 euros for taxes .
The bathroom was very dirty , and the sheets had stamps.
Generally it was good location 
But in the value for money rate it 1 out of 10

Horrible

Please be careful of this hostel.  They advertise prices and payment options and do not honor them.  My son reserved a room for two at the price of 148 Euro and expected to pay with a credit card as the website on Booking.com shows all major cards accepted.

Upon arrival he was told that it was cash only and the total was 168 Euro.  I asked for an invoice and they sent one for 148 Euro and never explained why they only took cash.  I suspect the clerk does this at night to make some extra money.
