Large but very efficiently managed hostel with CV accommodations for everyone, but especially well suited to solo travelers. The facilities are generally excellent with good dining and a 24hr desk with various snacks and rental options (bicycles, towels, locks).

I got to the hostel pretty late and was very tired from all the commuting. You think of hostel as a place to sleep so I thought the moment I get to my room I can just sleep. But no, I had to make my own bed by putting on bed sheets etc. the bed sheets had holes and stains on them. I was on the first bunk bed and I can not count the amount of time my head hit the top of the bed. It’s so short and I’m a very short girl as well. I’ve also stayed at other hostels on this trip and bunk beds but this one felt exceptionally cheap. The bathroom is separated from washroom which is totally fine but the bathroom doesn’t have a garbage can and they don’t even offer shampoo or shower gel.

Very clean, lots of amenities! Wish there were more than 2 sets of laundry/washing/drying machines for such a large facility. In the 6-bed room, it was sooo tiny, and my luggage couldn’t fit in the under-bed storage bin (bring a wired bike/luggage lock to secure your suitcase to the bunk!). Also, the third level bunk was a reeeeally long trek each time (the metal ladder kind of hurt my feet!). Otherwise, great spot; reachable to the central part of the city and elsewhere.

For what it is (a hostel), it is great! Staff were responsive, great location, especially around art week, and museums (if you have the time for it). Location is near a zoo Artis, so there are surprisingly unique birds clustered together.
