The price is not cheap. The room has mosquitoes. I couldn’t sleep the second night due to mosquitoes. I killed 3 mosquitoes but there are still more. I gave 2 euros coin to front desk for a show towel, but the charge still show up in my bill. Not a good place to stay.

Great location to explore the city from!! Easy to jump on a train or bus to Centraal Station area. The staff were super friendly. I had a minor issue and they resolved it quickly without hesitation. Also, the free coffee is nice! There are tons of showers and bathrooms available, which is nice. I truly enjoyed my stay here!!

This was my first time staying at a hostel and the staff was very polite. The area was very quiet and the everything was walkable. I met people from Australia, Canada and Sweden. I had the pizza which was good. The only issue was because of the amount of guests toilet paper always ran out and the only option was to go to another floor.

There are so many stairs and no elevators. If you have any type of larger suitcase, don’t book here. They have limited lockers. Bathrooms are ridiculously small. Can’t check in early. It’s also non refundable

Despite my horrible experience with the staff here, the property itself was great. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. Perfect location across from the park. Now staff? The women here were terrible, they had the worst attitudes, very young minded. One of the house keepers went through my CLOSED belongings because she suspected I had food in my bag. When I confronted the front desk it was as though they were justifying her actions of violating my privacy. No one would own up to the fact that this was wrong no matter the reasoning behind it, staff should not be searching through my personal belongings especially if it is CLOSED. I checked out that same day because I felt the managers were only protecting their own & my privacy didn’t matter. This is why I feel that with the entire staff being young, they were making up their own rules and doing things as they pleased. I didn’t feel like they had a higher up to keep them in line, I would never stay here again. They did fortunately refund me for the nights I hadn’t stayed because of course I checked out that day.
