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.

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.

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!

Supert hostell rett ved trikken.

Supert hostell med gรฅavstand til det meste. Trikken stopper rett utenfor, cafeer og matbutikk rett rundt hjรธrnet. Kommer garanterr ril รฅ bo her neste gang jeg er i Amsterdam. Bodde pรฅ sovesal for kvinner, vi var 15 stk pรฅ rommet og det var stort sett stille og rolig. Ikke sรฅ sosialt hostell siden det ikke er kjรธkken eller store fellesareal. Men ble khent med folk pรฅ rommet.

Volverรฉ a alojarme sin duda

Si tuviese que volver a Amsterdam me alojarรญa aquรญ sin duda. La experiencia ha sido inmejorable: pude hacer el check-in de antemano, desde que lleguรฉ me atendieron con amabilidad y me ofrecieron una bebida de bienvenida. Todo estรก completamente nuevo y muy limpio. Ademรกs las camas con cรณmodas y cuentan con taquillas magnรฉticas para guardar tus pertenencias. Lo รบnico que me chocรณ fue que uno debe hacerse su propia cama y despuรฉs devolver las sรกbanas en un saco a recepciรณn, pero tampoco en nada que me desagradara. Tienen comida a muy buen precio, tanto de desayuno como almuerzo, y recepciรณn 24 horas. En pocas palabras, me encantรณ este hostel.

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.
