Perfect spot! Dorm area was always quite and people were considerate! Bathrooms may be a little tight for some. But great place to stay as I was solo for this trip. ##### Kevin Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mercy Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hostel is well designed and functional. In the shared (mixed) dorms, the bunk beds had curtains for privacy and large lockers for luggage storage. The bathrooms are clean and the showers have great water pressure. The reception/coworking cafe is very aesthetically pleasing and you get a free drink ticket from the coffee bar :) The only critique is the dorm bedrooms have motion sensor lights at nighttime, which could be distracting if you’re trying to sleep/stressful if you’re trying not to wake people up. Really enjoyed my stay! ##### Mercy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gesa Dec 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What a wonderful stay Oh, what a wonderful Hostel this is. It is brandnew and everything was just perfect! I loved the interior and details and the staff was superfriendly and welcomming. It is also located in a lovely neighbourhood easy to walk to the city center or with the tram in front of the door. ##### Gesa Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Owen Nov 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. It was much like a hotel instead. The building and rooms were in great condition and spotless, very nice aesthetic to the property too. The bathrooms were always very nice and clean, and stocked with paper towels and actual toilet paper, not the super thin cheap stuff. Although you had to make the bed, they provided nice linens, as well as a bath towel. The pods had plenty of space and the bed/pillow were comfortable. Only one outlet, so you’d want an adapter with multiple usb/usb-c’s. Lockers also had plenty of space for luggage, and a shelf for smaller items. I didn’t have time to use it, but there was also a gym which is never seen in hostels. The location was good too, you could easily walk into Amsterdam center within 15-20 minutes. Central train station was about a 25 minute walk. Overall 10/10, would definitely recommend this hostel for anyone looking for a place to stay in Amsterdam. ##### Owen Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alanna Apr 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great for short stay in Amsterdam Lovely little gem. Price is a bit high, and there are some typical hostel things missing, like a guest kitchen area. But it was clean, well maintained, and provides easy access to public transit options. ##### Alanna Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin HelgĂĄ Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very nice place to stay for solo travelers I rented a bed on 3rd floor in a mixed sex dorm. The hostel was pretty much full, but it is a quiet environment in the dorms. One can beaerly notice that you are living amongst others. The common bathroom and showers are of newer standard, and is kept clean and tidy. The staff is wonderful. Would 100% recomend for anyone traveling alone. ##### Martin HelgĂĄ Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### BOBBY Feb 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### An absolute gem all around! From the moment you enter, the gorgeous scent of what's to come envelopes you. An absolutely gorgeous check-in area. It felt like walking into a museum. Beautifully curated and most importantly, the warm embrace of the people working within the establishment. Giulia, Leedia, and the other fine gentlemen, as well as the owner were present. This was only the 3rd week the hotel/hostel has been in operation. The owner, an absolute gentleman, greeted me and introduced me to his staff the first 10 minutes of my arrival. He gave me the history of the building and what is being planned going forward. The other gentlemen working the main lobby/check in aso made my 9 night stay special as well. Always pleasant, always engaging, and were of great help with anything that I needed. OH! the rooms! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Like a high end boutique. High ceilings, spacious, secure. High quality bedding and sheets. So much attention to detail. Fantastic mattress. Immaculately clean. Bathrooms were spacious, modern, beautiful showers. Great aesthetic and design. Without question, the best hostel/hotel I have ever stayed in. Tram was right outside of the beautiful building. Very convenient. There's also a laundry area with a washer and dryer. So convenient. I can't say enough good things about the staff and the hotel. EXQUISITE! I look forward to my stay this spring! I have goosebumps thinking about it! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D0E00E92E697934D503A27F996643E4F4D497CCB1739975465249.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E10B337E933871ED60BB9C25839180FF97B680CC1739975466541.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/453EF8DF2810334482AD9A3C4D19394A76DBD0E41739975467161.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### BOBBY Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chloe Feb 12, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly reception, great location, and comfortable and clean facilities. ##### Chloe Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ali Nov 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had good time.
