It’s pretty good for a hostel but nothing special and it’s expensive for what it is. Pictures and semi- fake reviews make it seem better than it is.( They offer you a free drink if you give them a good review)

Amazing! Beautiful building. Great and clean facilities. Wonderful area, very close to the tram. So easy to meet and connect with people in the common spaces. I would come back if I were to be in Amsterdam again.

Had a fantastic stay. Property was visually fantastic, pricing was pretty reasonable. The staff member who stays overnight was also very useful. Had come back with someone from an event who had run into some troubles, and although they could not provide a bed they went out of their way to help the person which was nice.
