I was charged twice for the night and twice for a rental locker. Something is wrong with their system when I was there. Just beware.

First night was good. Second night I had to move to a new room (I booked separately) and it was not as good - company not so good and limited luggage storage. So it's good if you get the right room :)

Initially I wasn’t too sure about staying at a hostel. Am I glad I did. This was the best place I could’ve stayed. I met so many people from across the globe. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. 10/10, I definitely recommend this for anyone looking to have a fun time in Amsterdam.
