Guest Reviews

• Kevin Andrés (9/5): -
• xkambukx (6/5): - You don't need a passport or ID to check-in, driving licence is enough Rather poor state and cleanliness, but cannot really complain due to very low price

• Steven (1/5): Einmal und nie wieder !!! - Um ehrlich zu sein gar nichts! Alles war dreckig tagelang wurde kein Klopapier aufgefüllt... überall lag müll und es stank fürchterlich...die Betten wiesen diverse Flecken unteranderem Blut auf ! überall krabbelten Tiere !das war eine Zumutung und auch eine Schande für booking.com das die mit sowas zusammen arbeiten.normal müsste man sein Geld wieder bekommen! Das Erlebnis war so krass das ich überlege überhaupt nochmal auf booking.com buche . Alles war wirklich füchterlich. Da steht ein Putzeimer im Treppenhaus mit Wasser von vor Wochen. Leise ist es da auch nicht alle 20 min klingelt die Straßenbahn die direkt vor der Tür ist .ist einfach viel zu laut
• javi (1/5): REPUGNANTE - Dos veces estuve con diferencia de 6 meses y es repugnante , vamos con el dineral que sacan , los baños seguian exactamente igual de sucios de destrozados asquerosos y chinches y pulgas en ambas ocasiones ademas que tengo fotos que lo demuestran , tengo el cuerpo lleno de picaduras inaceptable ojala lo cierren porque no es justo que en ambas ocasiones haya derrochado mi dinero en semejante cuchitril . Baños sucios con moho , basura y suciedad de meses de verdad no comprendo como la gente que trabaja ahi permite eso . Inaceptable .exijo mi dinero de vuelta porque haber pagado para dormir en un sitio lleno de suciedad , chinches y pulgas que podrian ocasionar una enfermedad a traves de la picadura . Se le tendria que caer la cara de la vergüenza al dueño .
• Amin (10/5): Formi de - Magnifique agréable Fantastique
• Simona Mancuso (4/5): C’è da lavorarci nonostante sia economico - La posizione era abbastanza buona. Lo staff cordiale. La pulizia del complesso carente. Le lenzuola, le pareti e i bagni discutibili. L’unico bagno a disposizione non si chiudeva neanche.
• Pulcina0712 (1/5): - The hostel is nicely connected, the centre can be easily reached by tram or on foot. Basically, everything. When I went into my room after checking-in, I noticed that it hadn't been cleaned yet. There were used tissues, food, medicine blisters and used bedsheets all over the room. The bed was not made and since the room was relatively small, which in itself is not a problem,the position of the bed prevented the window from fully opening. To be honest, I cannot rate the facilities or comfortability of the bed. While the cleaning services, which were called after I complained, took care of my room, I went out for dinner and immediately booked another room in another part of Amsterdam. It is also to be noted that the corridors and staircases appear very dirty, with used bedsheets, blankets and pillows just stacked in a corner. While I am used to budget friendly travelling all over Europe, this has easily been my worst experience so far. While the two guys working in the reception did what was in their power and responsibility to improve my stay, I was not able to relax and, ultimately, feel safe in this hostel.
• Emilce (1/5): - Absolutely nothing! The worst hostel that I saw in my life, the smell and the bathroom🤯🤯🤯
• Galaz (1/5): Asqueroso - Es asquerosamente malo , cuando llegue me encontre el baño todo cochino y ademas habían chinches la gente estaba reclamando el reembolso y no lo querían devolver , de hecho hasta ahora estoy esperando mi reembolso.

• Carbajo (1/5): Horrible - Nada Estaba sucio, habia chinches y bichos en las paredes y en las sábanas, el baño estaba asqueroso, la cocina igual… todo mal
• Kweku Clinton (1/5): They didn’t been nice to me I had to pack my things and leave cah I vas feeling uncomfortable. - The lady in the reception has been very disrespectful and rough, she’s not polite like how she should with a costumer Personally she made me feel really uncomfortable and I’m never going back there and I wouldn’t even advise it to a friend The place was a bit dirty but for the price was expected.
• Kweku Clinton (1/5): -
• Richard (7/5): Excellent, it was a short trip for me and my daughter, we stayed 3 nights.. just used it as a base.. - Great location, friendly staff No issues
• Huseynli (2/5): -
• Ariel (1/5): - Totally This hotel a lot of bedbugs
• Joaquín (1/5): Malísimo - El lugar huele horrible, tiene pocos baños y las piezas están sucias. Me contagié de sarna en este hostal
• Anthony José (7/5): -
• Guest (1/5): Unpleasant,not secure and rude staff - It was the one of the cheapest options at the time Rude receptionist,no security on room or front door so anyone could walk in. Toilets awful and smelly,no curtains in room.
• Guest (1/5): - hiçbir şeyi bir gün bile tahammül zor ettik aldığınız insanlara az dikkat edin adam yatıp gelen kızları incelemek için gelmiş çok rahatsız ediciydi
• Nina (1/5): Cheap but not worth it. - Location was good Dirty and smelled poorly.
• Gautier (2/5): - Malgré que la chambre et le bâtiment en lui même sois un peu vieux ça allait jusqu’ici. Mais le ménage n’était pas bien fais, la seule chose propre était les lits et encore. C’était notre impression au premier jour en tout cas. Le deuxième nous nous sommes réveiller avec des boutons sur le corps. Il y avait des pûaise de lit et nous nous sommes fais bouffer. A fuir!!!!
• Jean Claude (10/5): - Clean place instead of wasting money in Amsterdam
• karim (2/5): - J'étais obligé de fuir l'hôtel. Même un animal ne peut pas rester là-bas et demande un peu de dignité 😡
• Anthony (4/5): - Dirty rooms with horribly dirty and uncomfortable beds. The showers and bathrooms are the worst part. Pee covered and unsterile is just a nice way to describe half of the gross condition of the toilets and showers.
• Ernst (1/5): -
• Daria (8/5): -
• Xanthe (2/5): - The room was very dirty, lots of flies as the bin hadn't been emptied from the last guests and the carpet was very stained, with rubbish bags and bags of bedding up all the way up the already steep stairs. There was a group of people being turned away last minute as we arrived and we had to fill out a check in form despite already having to do online check in forms which provided the same information. There was also only cold water for showers and hand washing, and then the water cut out entirely when we returned in the evening and wasn't reinstated until morning. This was difficult as my partner and I became quite ill and weren't able to get to reception to purchase water so ended up very dehydrated. Water should have been provided to the rooms in bottles during the cut.
• Volodymyr (5/5): Грязний горад грязний дом - Сподобалось місце розташовання Блисько до головної вулиці Обідрані стіни необхідний косметичний ремонт Немає де залишити в безпеці свої речі
• Guest (3/5): -
• Aziz (1/5): Run - Nothing but the location Bed bugs-not clean. Bad amenities.
• Laura (1/5): 180€ la nuit pour des punaises de lit - Je n'ai pas grand chose de positif a dire a part que le personnel était convenable au niveau de son accueil. J'ai payee 180€ la nuit pour me retrouver dans une chambre juste sale, je pensais que parce que les draps avaient l'air propres c'était bon et je saurais faire un effort. En pleine nuit entre les ébats de la chambre de droite et mes voisins de gauches qui ont vomis dans leur chambre ainsi que dans les douches communes. En parlant des douches, en plus du débits non visible, l'eau était froide. En plein milieu de la nuit, je me rends compte qu'il y a des punaises de lit dans mes draps. A FUIR help ! désolée mais votre établissement est n'est vraiment pas aux normes d'un tarif a 180 € !!!!
• Sam (1/5): - Terrible Unclean with bedbugs and had poo in the shower for our entire stay without being cleaned up
• Sergei (6/5): -
• Lana (1/5): War sehr schlecht, nicht zu empfehlen. Bettwanzen geht bitte nicht dahin. - Nix Alles, Bettwanzen
• Sam (10/5): - Honestly amazing vibes super friendly and helpful staff, the room was a bit cramped but for 11€ honestly it's a hidden gem 💎
• Andrew (1/5): Horrible place - Nothing Horrible place , horrible staff , it clearly shows they gate working there , can't believe a property like this in Amsterdam is so mal managed thus way.
• Lynch (1/5): Unsanitary Mess - Nothing. The hostel is unsanitary. Carpets throughout the building,  on the staircases and bedroom are filthy. There was paint peeling off the walls in bedrooms and also stains on the walls. Everywhere stinks of smoke. From the Saturday night until sometime Sunday (we last checked at 7am before leaving for the day), there was no running water in any of the bathrooms for flushing toilets and hand washing. Additionally there was nobody at the desk at this time to enquire what the issue was, or not notice to inform guests of the lack of water for sanitation. No soap available in the bathroom, also had to go looking for toliet paper. Entire bathroom floor was slippy if the shower had been on. Shower attachment to the wall was broken. Only freezing cold water available from the shower. No hairdryer available, but listed as a facility on website. Dirty laundry was stacked at the top of the staircase at the entrance, making access to the building, on already very narrow and steep stairs dangerous. There was no privacy in the bedrooms to the outside street as there are no blinds/curtains in the room. Additionally, there was an awful smell the bedroom. Exposed pipework in bedroom where sink once was. Don't plan on using the kitchen at breakfast time as it is closed.
• Zac (1/5): Shocked and itching - Location was hood and cheap, but at a price…. I unfortunately woke up itching. After checking the sheets I found multiple bed bugs alive, and fully bloated with blood. There where my Blood stains on the sheets. When I went to try and get a refund they said there was no alternate bed to stay in so I could not change rooms. They said to email management to check for a refund. I then left the hostel after paying for that night, and sent an email. They said it would be classed as a breech of their terms as a cancelation, and refused to refund me… attached are images of blood on sheets and bites on my body…. It’s not worth staying at this hostel, trust the rating… horrified. The facilities where also terrible, I traveled in India for 6 months and never stayed somewhere this bad
• Maxine (1/5): Horrible, à FUIR absolument ! - rien C’est une véritable abomination. Les chambres sont lugubres, avec des fenêtres condamnées qui ne s’ouvrent pas, laissant une odeur insoutenable de moisi et de renfermé. La chambre était ridiculement petite et insalubre : à notre arrivée, nous avons même trouvé un caleçon sale par terre. Le pire reste les punaises de lit. Il y en avait partout, jusque sur les murs. J’ai dû écourter mon séjour et rentrer en France plus tôt à cause des piqûres. C’est inacceptable et ne devrait même pas être légal. Comme si cela ne suffisait pas, il était impossible de se doucher ou même d’utiliser les toilettes. Toutes les toilettes étaient bouchées, l’odeur insoutenable, plus de papier, une flaque d’urine au sol, aucun savon. Les douches étaient dans un état inutilisable. Nous avons dû partir dès l’aube pour aller dans les toilettes d’un restaurant. C’est une expérience inadmissible, honteuse et dégradante.
• Carlo (1/5): Pessimo - La posizione Sporcizia,servizi non funzionanti, edificio vecchio e stanze piccole.
• Cerise (1/5): 🪳⚠️BED BUGS ⚠️🪳 - Nada ⚠️BED BUGS ⚠️ I came back home with my arms and hands covered in insect bites. The hygiene of this hotel is appalling, whether it’s the toilets, showers, or sheets. The price in no way justifies the hotel being infested with insects and so dirty. ⚠️PUNAISE DE LIT ⚠️ je rentre chez moi les bras/mains rempli de piqûres d’insectes l’hygiène de cet hôtel est infâme que ce soit pour les toilettes/ douches / draps Le prix ne justifie en aucun cas que l’hôtel soit infesté d’insectes et aussi sal.
• Muhammad (1/5): Most worst experience in europe - very bad management, there was no internet access in room 205. Informed the staff twice but they did not resolve it. Also we were two friends and we had booked our bed for 4 nights, Twice our beds were used by someone else. This was really a bad experience with this hotel.
• Med ali (1/5): -
• Petr (6/5): Great value for the price. Facilities basic and sometimes damaged, but good to one night stay. - Beds were clean (in contrast to what I read in the other reviews). Interesting way of opening room via mobile app (although it can bring some troubles if you e.g. forget your phone in the room). Bathroom and toilets quite basic, out of work on our floor. More beds in the shared room than could comfortably fit in (my bunk bed had ladder by the wall, so not really useful). The lamp and charger socket in my bed were not working (to a "surprise" of the receptionist) and there was not any other place where to sit or lie while charging phone.
• Francisco Javier (1/5): No vayan a ese hostal, es un fraude y necesito que me hagan mi devolución ya que no me quede ni dos horas porque había p - Nada El lugar es totalmente diferente a las fotos es un asco el lugar, ahí pulgas y chinches en las camas, las paredes están transminando agua, los baños estaban llenos de agua en el piso, las escaleras están tienen pozos donde se está rompiendo la madera
• Jennifer (2/5): - My stay was the worst I've had of anywhere I've stayed. Within the room, the floors, sink and walls were dirty. The bathrooms were dirty and ran out of toilet paper quickly. The curtains were missing, which meant I had to turn off the lights to change (to not be viewed by others on the streets and in buildings across the street). The first day the internet/entire system went down and I wasn't able to access my keys, and the code I was given was wrong. I wasn't able to do work or use the internet at all. The second day the water went out which meant that the toilets didn't flush and the sink didn't work. This meant guests were using the bathroom and unable to flush. I will never stay here again.
• Carolina Soledad (1/5): NO VENGAN - NADA Tuvimos que dormir en el coche porque habian vendido nuestra habitacion a otra persona, logre ingresar porque habia hecho el check in online, intento entrar a la habitacion y hay otra persona durmiendo. Una experiencia pesima y no quisieron devolvernos el dinero

• Ahmad (4/5): - Washrom block in the night with poo and ni water
• Fanny (2/5): - Propreté à revoir, que se soit au niveau de l’entrée l’accueil, et surtout dans les chambres, punaises de lit
• krish (2/5): - 🚫 Avoid this hostel at all costs! 🚫 This was one of the worst travel experiences I’ve ever had! A staff member from Portugal at reception scammed me for €10 “early check-in” and €5 luggage storage after checkout — later I found out there’s no such policy, he just pocketed the money. The beds are infested with bed bugs. After just one night, my wife’s arms and legs were covered in painful bites. Doors don’t lock from the inside; staff can open them anytime with their keys. Unsafe and untrustworthy. The entrance is dirty, with staff and others constantly blocking the way, smoking joints and making it uncomfortable to pass.
• Jørgen (6/5): - Totally okey
• Karim (1/5): - Todo mal.he llegado a las 00h00 de la noche, el hotel estaba cerrado,y la recepción también, y no hay maneras de contactar con ellos ,les envié un e mail, y nada y luego vinieron 3 clientes más.hemos quedado esta noche a la calle.hasta las 3h30 hemos encontrado un hotel para pasar la noche.y el siguiente día hemos vuelto otra vez a hotel y nos dijo la recepcionista el check in hasta las 15h00.es una barbaridad.pero al final hemos entrado .y ahora las instalaciones como se fuera una casa abandonada.nada más en las escaleras huele mal.y la habitación muy pequeña.con un lavabo sin espejo.y el problema gordo.por la noche salen chinches,en la cama ,muchas,y el siguiente le reclamé y no hicieron nada,ni tampoco buenas palabras,sin educación. Y tenía que salir en la segunda noche a buscar otro hotel.es pésimo El hotel y no sé por qué no hay controles aunque las reseñas todas negativas y comentaban lo mismo. Y nunca se metieron los inspectores de higiene para verificarlo.si fuera por mi hay que cerrarlo.y multarlos y cambiar toda la plantilla, que no tienen buena educación. Jamás en mi vida volver ahí.y consejo a los demás que evitar alojamiento ahí.

• Ziv (2/5): - DONT EVER COME HERE THIS PLACE IS A NIGHTMARE AND A HELATH HAZARD
• 高原 (4/5): いい経験になりました！ - スタッフの方も他のお客さんも親切で安心できました。 安さで選んだので文句は言えないが、実際日本人にとってはそれほど安くは無い。シャワールームに物を置く場所が無かったので、悩んだ結果結局シャワーを諦めました。対応出来る人にとっては問題ないと思います。
• Alexandros (1/5): Δεν έχω να γράψω τίποτα ! Εφυγα την 2η μέρα ενώ έκλεισα να μείνω 5 νύχτες! - Δεν μου άρεσε τίποτα εκτός από το ευγενικό προσωπικό! Παρά πολύ βρώμικο μέρος για να μείνεις σε σημείο να είναι επικίνδυνο για την υγεία σου και με πολύ περίεργος πελάτες!

• Freitas (1/5): - Bad buck
• Tiven (2/5): - AVOID AT ALL COST!! The hostel was one of the worst I've ever visited. I was sold a dream by the pictures. Bedbugs on the bed and the sheets covered in blood from the bedbugs. Would not recommend staying here

• Aijaz (7/5): -
• Evite (10/5): - Free internet, free coffee and tea and supermarket nearby.

• Eduardo (2/5): -
• Csaba (2/5): - It was near to the city center, that's the only thing i can say as a good thing I've got bedbugs from the room. When i arrived i had to wait for like 10 minutes to someone to do my check in. The room was not clean at all and even i paid for a locker it was quite impossible to find one that's working so i had to try at least 10 locker just to put my baggage somewhere. Would not recommend to anyone.
• Anzhela (2/5): - Розташування, ціна В помешканні були клопи, прибиральники забрали мій рушник, ніби випадково, а потім віддали зовсім інший, не мій, маленький, та брудний.
• El moudden (1/5): -
• Sébastien (1/5): NEVER GO IN THIS HOSTEL! NEVER EVER - localisation ok even if it is far from the central train station Bed bugs in the rooms! I was bitten and had severe itching afterwards. In all the rooms! No hygiene in the hotel. Bathrooms and toilets are filthy, really disgusting. No kitchen, just a 1m² room with a sink. Unfriendly staff. Impossible to leave your bags even 15 minutes before check-in at 3 pm. They make you wait in the street with your bags!!!
• Barbarella (4/5): - Materass Facilities
• 794222 (10/5): - Probably the most affordable, decent Hostel in Amsterdam downtown There was a bad smell in the corridors. Probably the carpets. HOWEVER, the room was ok
