Walkable distance from the Rijksmuseum, got most of the way from Amsterdam Centraal by tram. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only stayed one night on Thursday in late July. No airconditioning but it was fine. Sheets were provided which was good. Shower and facilities worked fine although the dehumidifier was loud for a few minutes after anyone had switched the light on, so probably best to bring earplugs if you're sensitive to noise when you sleep. Some noise from the street but not overwhelming (again, Thursday in late July, and above a bar, so might be louder if you're visiting on a weekend given that it's above a street full of bars). Was travelling solo (am not a guy) but never felt unsafe. Cost 3 euros to leave my suitcase in the luggage area behind the reception for the day which I didn't know about before I got there. Stairs were incredibly steep and narrow, be careful if you have problems with your knees. Luckily the guy in reception helped me bring my suitcase down when I was leaving.

If you want surly staff and unclean rooms in an iffy location, this is your place. Bring your own toilet paper because staff told me they don’t provide it because “this isn’t a hotel”

Poorly light, spiral staircases
Cramped, expensive and potential fire hazard. Although homes in Amsterdam seem attractively old in practice the steep, spiral staircases are difficult to navigate especially because they are so badly lit. When I arrived a strong person used to the narrow steps help me carry my bags which were stored in receiption.

Disliked: Amenities
The staff was very nice, and it is in a great location. It is a very short walk from the major museums. They did not provide a locker, though, and they offered to hold on to my valuable things themselves, but I didn't feel comfortable with that. When I booked this place I was attracted to the free breakfast, but it was only bread and jam, peanut butter, and chocolate spread. That's it! No option to toast it, at least none that I saw. There was coffee, too, which I enjoyed. The breakfast room was actually in a different hostel nearby. Wifi was provided in both places, and in a throwback fashion, there was a public computer. I was the only one who used it! This hostel experience really depends on what you want and how well you sleep. I stayed in an eight person room, and people were coming in and out all night. I had to sleep on top of my belongings because there was no where to put anything. I was surprised to find the lights out and people asleep at 10pm! But, like I said, activity went on all night. So I had two difficult nights of sleep. Maybe the going rate in Amsterdam is high regardless, but this place was very pricey for what it offered and didn't offer.

unsatisfactory service delivery
the two male receptionists are highly unfriendly, they treat customers anyhow as if they are doing clients some favour, additionally there is no kitchen, no storage cabinet, no breakfast and they set their rules which differ from the rules published online, if I'm offered a free bed in this hotel will not accept. potential clients be guided.

Pack light watch your belongings be cautious
The stairs is ridiculous no lift so pack light. Also they allowed a drunk stranger into an all ladies dorm at 3 a.m. my roommate started to have intercourse (sex) right in front of me. Very uncomfortable. Also no lockers at all and the free breakfast absolutely sucked. The location however was great. I am including a picture of the guy who entered my room

Great location and perfect for Student traveers
The highlight of the hotel is definitely the surrounding areas as it is located closeby to the popular attraction such as the RijkMuseum and Van Gogh art museum. On my trip it allowed me to get early access and bypass the overcrowding and long lineups. The condition and comfort of the hotel was really good considering the price of the accomdations. Loved how helpful the staff were at providing insight into activites and the local area. Getting checked in was straightforward and convenient. I would highly recommend for budget travelers.
