Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Bra område. Rummet var väldigt litet, men överlag ok. Endast 1 toalett (med dusch i samma rum) per våning. Väldigt lyhört, men överlag ett bra boende för vad man betalar för.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Personalen var trevlig dock var väggarna väldigt tunna så allting hördes. Men vi fick vad vi betalade för.
- Despoina (6/5): - OK.
Not so clean and the guy at the reception was rude. The room is quite small but good value for money. The hostel is well located.
- Francisco (6/5): - Este es un hotel solo para estar un poco cerca del centro de Amsterdam, lo bueno es que tienes el tranvía 19 que pasa en frente y luego tomas el 14 y llegas a Plaza Dam o A la estación central de Amsterdam, lo malo es que es muy incómodo porque no se descansa bien pero para el precio en relación a los demás está bien, tomando en cuenta que la relación calidad-precio de Amsterdam es muy mala. Aconsejo quedarse solo dos noches máximo y luego mudarse a otro hotel más cercano. El personal es muy amable y trata de compensar lo que falté.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - En på mange måder ikke rar oplevelse, dårlig værelsesplanlægning, uhøflig reception, dårligt planlagt indcheckning med gebyrer som ikke var forventet.
- George (2/5): - Whole property was in horrible state.. There was renovation/painting going on and the room I was supposed to stay had no ventilation so it had so much dust I got strong allergic reaction.
Walls are thin like Japanese houses, sounds from toilets emanates through like you were next to the toilet seat.
The corridors steep and narrow mazes and the odd joint of weed can be smelled. That place should be decommisioned.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great but out the way - Fantastic for the price, met great people but get to know the train/met system and it’ll be 15 minutes to the town centre
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Après avoir prendre les clefs de la chambre réservée, on a trouvé une autre personne dans la chambre.
Mauvaise hygiène des toilettes et des corridors.
DONT BOOK
HORRIBLE HOTEL
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Der Altstadt entsprechendes Gebäude und Innenräume. Für junge Leute tip top!
- IOANNIS (6/5): - not good at all, maybe its ok for friends or solo travelers but everything was dirty room either bathroom
- Isabel María (4/5): No es una buena opción para dormir. - Reservamos una habitación doble, que es pequeñisima (1,80m de ancho). Las camas son cómodas, pero las sábanas estaban amarillentas y con manchas, las almohada son malísimas. Los colchones no miden ni 80 cms. El televisor no funciona. El baño es compartido, pero amplio y está muy bien. No dispone de cocina, solo de microondas y frigorífico. Al llegar hay que dejar un depósito de 10€ y además pagar las tasas municipales de 4,56€/persona y noche, que según la web de reserva, eran 3€/persona y noche. Los chicos de la recepción son amables. Esta bien ubicado, a 5 minutos andando de la estación de tren. Alrededor del edificio tienes supermercados y bares. El hostel está en un primer piso y las escaleras son la muerte, no lo recomendaría para personas con dificultades ni si llevas mucho equipaje. Muy ruidoso, se escuchan el resto de huéspedes por la noche hablando y con música en la zona común hasta la madrugada. Una noche, a las 4 de la mañana, ya harta, salir para pedir que hablaran en voz baja, pero no sirvió de nada.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Soğuk Oda. - Ocak ayında konakladık, odası soğuk, kalorifer yanmıyor üşüdük. Girişteki 75 derece dik bir ayağın uzunlamasına sığmadığı 24 basamak merdivenden bavul indirip çıkarmak çok zor. Bir gece için idare eder.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Stairs of terror - Watch out for the entry stairs
- Verified traveler (8/5): 問題無し - 色々狭いけど特に問題無かった
- Verified traveler (8/5): Cleaning - It's good overall but needs some cleaning
- Duki (2/5): - Die Treppe die zum Eingang führt war zu Steil (Gefährlich). Die Zimmer in einem Gefängnis sind wahrscheinlich komfortabler als dieses Hostel.
- Michelle (2/5): Terrible experience - It has been one of the worst places I have ever been, I payed for a double room which was cheap for the average prices in Amsterdam. Absolutely nothing worked, the wifi didn't work, the TV didn't work, the window didn't close entirely and cold air came inside, the shared shower outside of the room didn't work and you had to use another one shared with even more people. Everything squeaked so each time someone upstairs or dowstaire moved you could hear it. Each time someone slammed the door, the bed shaked. I could hear absolutely every noice from the room next to mine which was the smoking room.
Cheap place but definitely not worth it.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Чистое бельё, комфортные кровати.
- Judith (6/5): c - Prima hostel, wel jammer van alle trappen. Doucheruimtes en toiletten mogen wel wat ruimer en er zijn er ook weinig van.
- billy (2/5): - nothing
Do not return contact
- Marvin (8/5): Good place - Bathroom was tiny, zero privacy. It was worth the price. Easy to use etc. Would recommend
- Verified traveler (6/5): - las habitaciones aunque te salga 4 te puede tocar de 6 personas, tiene el baño muy pequeño casi no cabes en el, las duchas no tienen donde colgar la ropa, toalla y chanclas son personales no hay en el hostal. En las habitaciones te puede tocar de toda tipo de persona, tanto mujeres como hombres y la verdad que yo he estado agusto excepto el tema de ducha y baño.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The place is noisy, not do clean, tiny bathroom (and shared!), people coming in and out loudly during añl night, windows were not inulating noise from the street and floor were not insulating noise from the above floors
- FARIT (10/5): Поездка в Амстердам - Все отлично! Большое спасибо!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The staff is very friendly but there's no soap in the restrooms and not enough showers for the amount of people hosted. There's lots of very narrow stairs to get to each floor which makes it difficult if you carry heavy bags.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - 1. Televisie blijkt belangrijker dan zeep en handdoek.
2. gedeeld toilet: al te krap, 'gedeeld': de volgende ochtend zal men het geweten hebben!!
3. heel gehorig door de zware branddeuren
4. gasten komen laat luid pratend toe
menswaardige basisaccomodatie vinden in Amsterdam blijkt een hel
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Goed voor kortverblijf. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel
- D. (8/5): - Ganz normales Hostel.Leider waren die Rucksackschränke zu klein und schlecht gestellt.
- IVAN CAMILO (8/5): - Buen lugar.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - ziemlich laut und dazu hellhörig (Fenster sowie Türen und Wände). haben die erste Nacht kaum ein Auge zubekommen. Die Einrichtung ist sehr einfach. Duschen und Toiletten waren aber einigermaßen sauber.
- Zelideh (8/5): - el cuarto que nos toco aunque un poco viejo bastante limpio, lo de compartir baño no nos gusta pero aceptable para ser un hostel. solo nos quedamos un dia, lo de las escaleras de la entrada , toda una experiencia ¡¡¡¡, los chicos que atienden la recepción muy agradables y serviciales
- Bo (6/5): Du får hvad du betaler for - Det er kun for at have en seng at sove i.
Men det vidste jeg godt det var sådan. Det er meget dyrt at overnatte i Amsterdam så derfor valgte jeg dette sted.
- Kim (10/5): Quick overnight stay - Lots of steep stairs. Parking on the street was convenient. Cat at the reception desk was a treat! Bathroom was tiny. Did not even bother showering since everything seemed very cramped.
- Иванна (10/5): Можно быть чуточку лучше с минимумом усилий - Не понравилось, что нет никакого порядка над тем, кто и какие свободные кровати в номере занял. Неужели это сложно: присвоить каждому месту свой номер? чтобы заехавший гость знал, что в этом номере его кровать под конкретным НОМЕРОМ. или выдать карточку именную, которая закреплялась бы на видном специально отведённом для неё месте на кровати? чтобы вновь заехавшие гости понимали, что ЭТО МЕСТО несвободно.
В мою ночь с заселением был какой-то кошмар. Место было выбрано днём. Но по возвращению, мои вещи оказались переброшенными на другую кровать (что-то рассыпалось по номеру). И так произошло не только со мной, ещё ТРОЕ оказались в похожей ситуации.
И всё это разруливалось до 2-х ночи. Дичь!!!
Далее. Из чистого белья рассчитывать можно только на наволочку и пододеяльник! Простыни (наматрасники) - не меняются.
В моём номере было 4 двуярусных кровати и лесенка на верхний уровень была только у одной. Мне не повезло, по приезду у меня была небольшая травма плечевого сустава и то, как я, оберегая его, взбиралась в ночи на верхний уровень с высоты собственного роста, стараясь никого не разбудить, было достойно особого внимания.
Также не понравилось, что нет никакого контроля за соблюдением режима тишины. До 3-х ночи какие-то бесконечные хождения пьяных гостей были, гремели бутылками, кто-то разговаривал и даже орал в холле.
Теперь о плюсах.
Душевая и санузел чистые. В лобби можно подогреть в микроволновке свои блюда или оставить продукты на хранении в холодильнике.
- Steven (8/5): Overall enjoyed our stay 👍 - Went with a group of friends from work. Was actually pleasantly surprised. The rooms were clean enough and the amenities were clean and in decent condition. Definitely wouldn't recommend for couples and is a complete no go for anyone with mobility issues. Very steep stairs throughout. But for groups of visitors that are not that bothered with anything fancy then it suits just fine. Overall enjoyed our stay 👍.
- KONSTANTINOS (10/5): Amigo budget hostel - It was just for one night stay but the staff was very helpful and the bed was really comfortable.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Pretty decent - This place is a bit further away from the city. Rent a bike and get more comfort in return. The toilet was too small though. And the shower didn't have a thermostat. In this case it didn't matter, because the water wasn't warm. Even though I liked it here more than the other hostels I've been.
- Piotr (6/5): Budget hostel. - The rooms are really small, the window in the room was broken. It's only one bathroom with WC on the floor so in the morning you need to wait a lot, also it's very wet inside. Very budget place.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The people working at Amigo have been really cool and helpful and the atmosphere between the travelers I've met was also very open and welcoming!
I liked the location, cheap supermarkets and a park nearby, the tram was just in front of the hostel.
The room was spacious and clean, with a balcony. For the bathroom I never had to wait!
Also great was the smoking room they provide!
- Ernie (2/5): - Not well described, luggage is not safely stored, inconvenient stairs access(not recomended for handicapped), unfriendly environment and service, not safe to stay, smoke odor, lack of cleaningness and poor service.
- Sami (10/5): - Alles war picco bello ! Gerne wieder
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The calefaction was broke, and the was a lot noise.
my experience with hostel in general was bad, I prefer hotel definitely.
- Anwesh (10/5): - The hostel was easily commutable and the was neat. But the WC was very small and uncomfortable. And they dont have big lockers to put the luggage. You could only put important items in the small locker they give. And the plug points to charge mobile or a laptop was at a very odd place and not easily reachable from bed.
- Pu Yun (8/5): 離輕軌站近,沒電梯。櫃檯在2樓 - 阿姆斯特丹的假日住宿都很貴。
由於價格優惠,但幾乎阿姆的青旅住宿都大約都是品質。
沒電梯-有大行李的要自己扛到2樓或3樓。
樓梯階梯窄-要小心上下樓梯。
沒廚房-只有簡單的微波爐。
- Verified traveler (2/5): - L’auberge m’aurait envoyé un mail ( que je n’ai jamais eu) pour annuler ma réservation et me proposer de loger dans l’une de leur auberge partenaire... le seul soucis c’est qu’il m’aura fallu arrivé à l’auberge pour le découvrir.
- CARLOS (6/5): - Hotel económico, con una parada del Tram 19 justo en frente, y supermercados y negocios cercanos. El edificio tiene escalones muy largos y empinados, hay que tener cuidado al subir y bajar las escaleras.
Lo mejor es una habitación privada. Los baños son todos compartidos.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Voltaria outras vezes para hospedar, problema é o fedor de cigarro o tempo todo
- Nicholas (8/5): - It was good for the price. Quiet and Rich district near Train that go direct to Airport.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Much better than my last stay! Check-in personal can be more flexible!
- IBRAHIM (10/5): Excellent - Superbe
- DAISUKE (10/5): オヌヌメ - 猫が可愛い。中心からは離れているもののホテルの周りに激安スーパーや食事処があり滞在しやすい。
- José (2/5): - Había pelos largos en mi toalla ''limpia''. No se cambiaron en 3 días.
Habitación muy ruidosa. Había un ruido de máquina toda la noche, además de que la gente entra a cualquier hora de la noche hablando y se oye todo.
Cuartos de baño a compartir insuficientes.
Relación calidad precio, muy caro para las prestaciones.
- Belmehel (8/5): Amsterdam - Éloigner de tout un peu chère
- Jari Pekka (6/5): Hotelli yhden lähijunapysäkin päässä keskustasta - ERITTÄIN jyrkät ja pitkät portaat heti alussa respaan. Isojen ja painavien matkalaukkujen kanssa suuria ongelmia, mutta onneksi itse pienellä lentolaukulla. Ei hissiä. Kivan tuntuinen muuten noin dorm-paikaksi. Yhden lähijunapysäkin päässä keskustasta.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Meredek lépcsők de ettől függetlenül nekem jó volt - A szállás tömegközlekedéssel könnyen megközelíthető volt. A személyzettel maximálisan meg voltam elégedve.A kulcsért 5E letétet kértek/személy amit vissza kaptam kijelentkezéskor. Az egyágyas szoba elég pici kizárolag éjszakai alvásra több mint elég és a negyediken volt megtalálható. Ami a szállásnál kivetni valót hagyott maga után... Nagyon meredekek a lépcsők. Az ajtók mivel kártyára működik a nyitásuk ha valaki elhagyja a szobát csak behuzni lehet és ez elég hangos a szomszéd szobák lakoi miatt bizony felébredtem reggel 6-kor. Más gondom azt hiszem magával a szállással nem volt. A WIFI maximális vételt biztosított a negyedien is és még itthon se működik annyira gyorsan és jól mint a szálláson működött, Összeségében ha legközelebb vissza térek Amszterdamban ismét ezt választanám.
- Ajay (2/5): Small rooms and lot of noise through out the nigh. - Good things: clean rooms, good restaurants nearby, accessible.
Bad things. Tiny rooms and toilet. Only 2 charging point for a bed of 5, most of the rooms are facing a busy road so lot of noise. People coming in out every 19mins throughtout the night. Not a good place for taking rest.
- Chi (6/5): Nice hotel which is near the center of Amsterdam - I think it worths the price as cleaness, friendliness and good location.
- ThanhHa (6/5): Affordable hostel for youngsters - Friendly and helpful staffs with good communication in English. Room and bed are tidy and comfortable. Needs to supply some amentities in the bathroom (e.g: soap, shampoo, etc.)
- LENIN JOSE (6/5): - Ok
- chengyi (6/5): - 房間地板很吵,所以只要有人走動就會被吵醒
WiFi 在房間收訊很差,要到公共空間才比較好
價錢便宜反應在住宿狀況
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Very steep potentially, dangerous stairs up into the hotel. The shower was not contained in a tub so the water flooded after 1 Minute the entire bathroom. The bed were clean and standard small hostel size and feel. Staff was nice and helpful
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfektes Hostel für nen JGA - Unkomplizierter Check-In und schneller Check-out.
Sauber, aber natürlich kein Komfort, was zu erwarten war
- Le Van (2/5): WORST PLACE EVER - bad service, want to stay in female dorm room but still mix female and male, just only one dirty bathroom in the floor. price is high but not worthy. bad experience. Room is dirty, smell and lack of comfortable also, just only 2 electric charges in the room. Will never comeback also never recommend for any guest who want to visit Amsterdam.
- Tim (6/5): Für Gruppen die dort nur schlafen wollen reicht es - Wir waren ein Jga und waren dort nur zum schlafen und dafür reicht es absolut aus.
- Mitesh (2/5): - If you have a luggage weighing more than 10kg then don’t stay here because there are steep stairs all the way up till 3rd floor which are really risky to walk on with a luggage. The reception is on the first floor and then rooms are on 1st 2nd and 3rd floors. No elevator at all. The toilets were dirty and only one toilet and shower between 6-7 rooms. Pay a bit more and stay somewhere else.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed in the Hostel for 4 nights, the location is good! Only 20 min with the tram to the center. The only bad thing was the toilet and shower, they only had one. So one toilet for the floor with 6/7 rooms .
- take (2/5): Worst hotel. - They canceled my resevation on the day when I tryed checking in. No way.
チェックイン直前にキャンセルされたのでご注意を。その後のやりとりの対応も一方的で最悪でした。
- Philipp (6/5): kann man machen ... - Wir waren nur 1 Nacht im Rahmen eines Junggesellenabschieds vor Ort. Dafür war das alles völlig "OK". Wir hatten 2 eigene 5er Zimmer (je 2 Stockbetten und 1 Einzelbett). Sauber, und für ein Hostel völlig angemessen. Waschbecken und 2 große Spiegel im Zimmer - pro Stockwerk aber nur 1 kombinierte Toilette. Die war bei uns (im Gegensatz zu anderen Berichten hier) NICHT verdreckt, oder vollgeschissen. Nur leider laufend belegt ... Besonders Morgens könnte das evtl. zu Problemen führen, wenn man "termingerecht" los möchte. Lustig ist auch die SEHR steile Treppe von der Straße zur Reception. In angeheitertem Zustand auf jeden Fall spannend ;-)
- Luigi (6/5): Ostello economicospartano, non lontano dal centro. - Ostello posto dal primo al quarto piano di un palazzo di Amsterdam. Scale ripidissime nello stile olandese, ma davvero pericolose. Reception piccola, ma attrezzata.
Stanza con due letti a castello, molto piccola, senza bagno ed anche senza lavabo, quest'ultima cosa che non mi aspettavo!
Un bagno per 5 stanze e quindi lunghi tempi di attesa.
Porta che sbatte rumorosamente durante la notte perché accompagnata da molle molto forti.
Va bene per una notte non di più.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Budget di nome ma non di fatto - Camera caldissima con una piccola finestra che si apre a soffietto, due bagni per ogni piano sempre occupati e sporchi, prezzi non così budget.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Bed bugs, holes in the walls (with one you can see through to the outside, trash and bird poo covering the balcony... I could go on.
- Michael (6/5): Served it's purpose - Thirty minute walk to the town centre, staff was friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - My stay with amigo hostel was nice. Only the staircase was looks so scary every time you need to climb up to the hostel.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not great - It was very loud the whole night. It smelled horrifically and I wasn’t able to switch rooms.
- pjhpro (8/5): Cheap hostel, nice hotel staff - Actually, My reservation canceled because my credit card didn't work.
but, hotel staff give a room for us.
it might be natural their work. but helpful for us.
Thanks
- Rafael (4/5): Bad and disrespectful - I paid for a 6 beds bedroom and my bedroom had 7 bedrooms. This is disrespectful. Bedroom was small, the place is old and overall its not clean. The good thing is that the shower on the second floor is new and clean. Wouldn't stay there again
- Abu Naser Md (2/5): This is the first time I stayed in a hostel. Immed - This is the first time I stayed in a hostel. Immediately after teaching there I cancelled my few other bookings in other cities and booked hotel, this was such horrible. After coming to Brussels I took another hostel and that's fully opposite from this one. Surprisingly both the hotels are connected and may be the owner is same. I would expect they will try to maintain same standard in both the cities. Well, the structure can not be changed but cleanliness, looking, maintainence can be enhanced. The staffs were really good and cooperative. In summer there is no way to make the room cool.
- Sayam (8/5): - The service at the fromt desk is particularly very good. Good beds and location. Only problem being bathrooms shared among bigger number of rooms. But very very reasonable prices.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Pretty good - Stairs give this place a lot of character. Otherwise if you just need a pace to crash it's perfect.
- rose marie (10/5): Convenient to tram and lots of grocery shops - Front office staff are simply amazing always trying to assist. Being a senior traveler this is such a perk. Always stay here whenever possible. Good for short layovers.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Small bedroom that wasn't cosy or welcoming. No bed sheets or anything.
- Ricky (8/5): Great place to stay very friendly - Excellent service great staff close to everything would use again
- Hugo (6/5): Cheap hostal, but no quality. - Honestly, I was expecting a bit more of this hostal. I mean it was cheap compared to others but it is not very close to town and the toilets/showers are really dirty and damp. my friend and I would have our clothes all wet. I don't think I would stay here again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Cozy hostel - Staff is nice. Room is clean but too small. Bathrooms isn't enough. Stairs is steep and no lift.
- Tom (4/5): Definitely budget!! - Room was very small, ridiculously hot. I mean it looked more like a cupboard than a hotel room. Really tiny with 4 single beds. Uncomfortable due to the heat, wedged a shoe in the door for some air!
- Louise (2/5): An expensive dump! - Stayed here for a night with our children (as we could find nowhere else in Amsterdam) and couldn't believe how much we paid to stay in this awful place. To start with the entrance steps were so steep we had trouble getting our bags in, the man at the reception was shouting at some of the guests as we entered and it took ages before he even acknowledged us, our room was like a prison cell (metal bunk beds and no room to swing a cat), doors slamming and guests shouting loudly all night, cigarette smoke drifting into our window all night and no separate loo so had to wait for people to finish showering to even use it. I think it was summed up by one of our daughters (aged 12) bursting into tears when she realised we had to stay there. I get that hostels are not luxurious but 210 euros for a family for one night - really?!!
- sue (6/5): steep stairs - Mohammed was an excellent host. Made it feel like family.
- sue (6/5): steep steps worth the hospitality for youth - Mohamed was an excellent greeter and made our stay like home.
- Soraya (8/5): Great staff and location - My card got swallowed by an ATM machine on my first day, and I'm so grateful for the staff helping me so much with booking extra nights so I could get a new bank card sent to the hostel, and especially Mohammed who really helped with that situation and they were all very understanding and nice about it!! The beds are comfy and it's in a really good location (half an hour walk from the center, about 15 minutes on the tram, right next to oosterpark which is lovely). Really good considering the price :)
- Matthew (10/5): Great little place in a good neighbourhood - This was perfect for me and a few mates, we wasn't looking for anything fancy we was just taking a break from reality. Febos across the road & a shopping complex just behind it with a super market & clothes shops. Just down the road is a real chill coffeeshop that's real friendly. Tram station is just outside the hostel which will take you right into the city centre meaning it's easy to get around the city.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Close to city center - Cheap hostel , close to city center ,rooms very small and not many facilities.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good hostel. Little far from centre - Bit of a walk to centre but tram stop right outside. Good hostel otherwise. Very comfy beds.
- Soumya deep (6/5): Budgt stay - Fine
- Verified traveler (4/5): Not bad, but not great - For the price, it's not bad. We got stuck with the "penthouse" on the fifth floor which is a decent climb. There is no bathroom there one located on the floor below. There was no wifi access for floors 3-5 so anyone staying in those rooms had to go to the lobby to use it. Our last day there, the wifi didn't even work so it was difficult getting in contact and meeting with our friend. It was weird that we had to pay again during check in even though we had paid online through hotels.com. They said it was for "authorization" purposes and we would be refunded a payment within 20 days (I'm keeping an eye out for that). We didn't spend much time in the hostel aside from sleeping so overall it was okay. If you're looking for a place to just sleep, I'd recommend this place.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Free Second Hand Marijuana Hostel - Paid 200 EURO in cash for one week on Day 1. There are always some guys smoking marijuana in the closed stairway, and when the door to the room upstairs opened, the smoke goes into the room. You smell the marijuana all the time in the hostel. Have to check out on the Day 2 due to the smell, but the hostel staff did not give any refund and he called his manager (?) and never show up. This hostel should not be acceptable for service.
- Mauricio (2/5): Listed as hotel, horrible hostel - was listed as a hotel, with the price like a hotel, the photos were not real, very dirty and poorly lit, the beds were disgusting. As soon as I arrived we saw it and went away
- Verified traveler (4/5): Noissy hideout - Sleeplessy noisy
- Hannah (8/5): :D happy customer - Decent place to stay for the money you pay and good location for easy access into the city centre!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Great price - Great price and great location (not so close to the centre, however in front of a tram line). Great staff as well! I did not consider it a problem, but the hotel has a big stair so it is not so suitable for who is not willing to walk a bit
- Natasha (8/5): Perfect for budget travel! - This was the first stop on my solo trip for Linkin Park concerts in EU. So, of course, all I needed was a place to leave my junk while exploring or screaming at the arena, and a place to recover after that, plus traveling.
And if you go with just those expectations, you will be happy as a clam.
Firstly, beware the "Steps to Mordor." Steep, narrow, and a lot.
The reception/lobby was pretty neat, tv to watch, plenty of seats, great connection to the Wifi. One of the two employees, shorter, was extremely polite and very helpful. The other one- loud and irritable if you're not much of a morning person.
The room I stayed in was for 8 people. The mattresses seem to be like comfortable foam, and sheets are included! Always nice not having to pay extra. The only downfall was that the plugs were few and only by the sink. Very annoying when you have to charge and constantly respond to communications at the same time. You're kind of awkwardly hanging out by the sink or going back and forth.
All that aside- the tram stop for Line 9 is right outside. Buy a all day or multi-day pass and just go on and off that tram towards the center- museums, parks, great neighborhoods are all along it. You'll have easy time getting to the Ziggo Dome if you're there for the concert. One of the night bus lines also drops off at the hostel. And even better- supermarket right next door.
It's worth the money for the purpose.
