I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE STAFF!!! Even though I was staying at other places (since they didnt have room for my whole trip) I still hung out with them in events. I feel like this is the ultimate hostel experience when traveling solo. Definitely will be going again. Thanks to Lucas for his support and Scarlett for the amazing meals she cooked. And Ashi for taking us to lovely tours around the city, like the flee market and park. Thanks guys!!! Definitely recommend

The staff were exceptionally helpful, warm, and available 24 hours a day to assist with any needs. The hostel facilities were spotlessly clean and impressively modern. Towels were provided free of charge at check-in, and both small and large lockers were available at no extra cost. The sleeping pods were spacious, soundproof, and well ventilated, offering an ideal blend of privacy and comfort for those seeking an elevated hostel experience. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I will definitely choose this hostel again on my next visit to Amsterdam.

Very clean (most important detail to me) and I like that the bathroom has shower stalls and toilet stalls and that the beds have blackout curtains for privacy. Reception lounge area has a very cool chic-look and the complementary drink is a nice idea that made me feel welcome. Bed is comfortable. Location well connected, walkable, and with good public transportation.

It was based in such a good area very tourist comfortable. I had a lower cube room, which I thought wouldn’t be good but it was actually very comfortable and cool. Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed our stay and were said to leave. The lights were great and many charging ports. My only complaint is that I would often get too warm during the night but I prefer a cold room anyways. But just take the duvet off and it was completely fine! The shutter on the side of the room one was broken but we worked out a way to balance it and it was fine! The toilets had everything you needed. Always a shower free, clean towels, hairdryer and shampoo and body wash. We were very happy here and I’d definitely suggest it! :)

It place exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort, the pod capsules allowing you to fully close yourself off, the bathroom and showers including soap etc. To be honest, I was quite surprised to find out that this place was actually looked in the red light district and somehow I feared for a restless night, which luckily was unfounded; I slept great. (Note: I stayed here during what I think was a rather quiet week day, so I can't speak for the days (closer to) the weekend) Having the possibility to borrow a towel and locker - with deposit - is also a really nice service as compared to other places where you have to pay for it. All in all this place exceeded my expectations, deserves my appreciations and credits! I will definitely revisit when I need to be on that side of Amsterdam again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
