Great facility with a reasonable walk into town
I stayed for ten days though most people seemed to stay for two or three days. I chose the female only dorm which had 20 beds. It was very quiet at all times, day, evening, night. Most people were young, just one or two “old” people. The beds are extremely private with a fully enclosed curtain, light, one power outlet (bring a power strip/extender), and a towel rod. Most people hung their towel in the shared hanger section or off the bed rail. There were two showers and three toilets which worked just fine. Everything was very clean. It’s right next to the zoo, a tram, and several restaurants. It’s a pleasant 20 minute walk into town. I would absolutely stay here again.

Very clean and new. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Also the food options were fantastic for a breakfast and to grab a coffee at a reasonable price.

Best hostel I've stayed in so far!
I have to say the best hostel I've stayed in to date! The welcoming staff at the front desk are helpful and willing to answer and questions. I stayed in the female only dorm that was clean and quiet at night! The black out curtains definitely add a touch for a good night's sleep. I was weary of there being only 2 showers between 15 or so other females. But it honestly was not an issue at all! The hostel also has bikes to hire that will allow you to wonder aimlessly around Amsterdam.

If you want to stay in a quiet hostel where you can have a decent nights sleep and not be disturbed, but also want to be close enough to museums, restaurants and the night life of Leidseplein, then this is the place for you. Super clean bathrooms/showers, amazing staff all who went out of their way to help. An array of guests from all diversities/cultures/age groups and interests were staying here. Great coffee on the corner only 20 metres down the road (fellow Ozzie’s you won’t be disappointed), great pizza across the road and good late night snacking doner kebab around the corner. You can catch the 14 tram/light rail around the corner to downtown or hire a bike, I recommend doing both/alternating. Laundry Club for laundry is a quick 5 min cycle away (just make sure you have euro coins or 5€ notes, they don’t accept foreign cards). Will definitely stay here again should I return.

For a hostel experience, this exceeds above and beyond. The area is very close to everything. If you like walking, which I did 80 percent of the time I was in Amsterdam. The staffs were friendly and helpful. The beds are comfortable and the area is being cleaned everyday. Washrooms and bed areas are checked during the day for cleaning. They provide towel and linens when you check in and black out curtains for privacy. If you are a light sleeper, come with your earphones as other guests can create noise which is unavoidable. I think the only missing is a shared kitchen but they have a receiving area where anyone can hang out. There is a convenient store on one corner and a good cafe on the other corner if you want to have some breakfast. Although the hostel itself sells some food if you don’t want to go far. I also would like to suggest for the future, maybe a laundry service in the hostel would be a good idea - although the staff was kind enough to recommend me a 12-15min walk to a laundromat nearby. For a hostel experience, this hostel is probably the cleanest. Keep it up! Would recommend!

Comfortable for a 34 year old solo traveller
First up, this is in a great location - lots going on with cute eateries close by, near a canal, by greenery and you can easily walk into the centre. It is well finished and has generally been thought out. Service was friendly and helpful. I was in the 20 bed female dorm on the ground floor; this had minimal space to move and the main door opens directly onto the reception/lounge so sound does enter, and it also causes an issue if the bathroom door is opened at the same time. The bathroom door does not close quietly and most guests didn't think to not allow it to slam, so it can be disruptive. But, bed chambers do block out light, they have enough space and places to put your things, and lockers are spacious. However suitcases do hang out in the corridor so making the space feel and be smaller. In terms of cleanliness, it was always being cleaned in the middle of the day, though a lot of people means it isn't immaculate. The bins could more clearly state 'plastic' and 'general' to encourage less waste. The lounge is a cute comfortable place to hang out; I used it to do work, be on a live call, read, and eat dinner (there were no qualms about bringing in your own food even though they served snacks and drinks). As an older traveller (34) and wanting somewhere quiet to be able to do my work and also be in town for the marathon, it was a good setting. I was comfortable, even if with little sleep due to the noise some people made and this can't be helped in such a large dorm.

女性用ドミトリーに宿泊しました。部屋はフロント真横で他の宿泊者が通らないため安心でき、各自のベッドやシャワー等の施設も清潔でした。各ベッドの横には電子施錠のロッカーが付属しています。アメニティはありませんが、有難いことにタオルの提供があります。 スタッフの方は、私の英語が苦手な様子を見てすぐ紙の施設案内を出してくれるなど、親切な対応をしてくださいました。 女性用のドミトリーとしてはとても良いホステルだと思います。
