I liked how my bed was away in a corner of the room on its own, little more spacious and with a view onto the Oude Kerk street. I liked that there was a storage cage underneath the bed, previous hostels I stayed at didn’t have this which I prefer having this storage cage setup. The bed was comfortable, quilt could have been thicker but that’s my preference of wanting a more puffier quilt. I liked how central the hostel is, within the City Centre and it’s the cheapest option I think for a decent hostel in Amsterdam City Centre. Access to and from the hostel is easy, I went about by business quietly of just coming and going with the use of my hostel key card. I didn’t have any issue nor conversations with the staff, so I can’t comment on staffing.
The area, it’s situated in a busy but noisy neighbourhood of the Red Light District. I’ve no issue with the Red Light District, it’s a vibe, though trying to sleep is just harder while noise is made outside. No need for a fan in the month of October, as it’s a lot cooler - you take it out, but it’s put back on again. Even so where the fan is situated, it’s close to the door but my bed was round the corner in the room therefore I wasn’t even getting that breeze and the fan was noisy leading to a disturbed sleep. No real common area, it’s a very tight common space in a corner by my room and by the shared shower room so no real room leading to some awkward passings. Shower is spacious, though there was nowhere to put your clothes safely to change into while you shower. As I had to take my changing clothes into the shower with me, no curtain to cover nor protect my clothes and so I hoped that I didn’t get water onto my clothes while I showered. No netting pocket on the wall of my bed, which would have been welcomed to store some of my fiddly accessories e.g. cables.

It is located right next to the railway station in the city center—you can wake up to the sound of the Old Church bells. Alexa (unlike the men) helped me carry up my luggage, as the staircase there is quite steep.
Be aware: if you make several separate one-day bookings instead of a single reservation for the entire duration, pre-authorization funds will be held on your card for EACh booking, yet you will still have to pay for the stay upon arrival at the hostel (and then wait for the held funds to be released back to your card). Aside from the time wasted dealing with the refund of pre-authorized funds, I had to remind the staff every morning that I had bookings for the following days as well; the employees kept trying to "remind" me to check out because they hadn't noticed I had multiple separate reservations—even though I had already paid for the entire stay! One of the receptionists (the black man) not only barged into the room unceremoniously while I was in bed but also took issue with the way I looked at him; he started mocking me and asked my name. When I answered, his reaction was even more disconcerting: "Oh, so you're the one." Later, this same black employee got into a conflict with another guest at the front desk—a guest who apparently couldn't stand up for his rights and eventually stated he would have to call the police to protect his interests. All of this demonstrates the black receptionist's lack of hospitality and inability to get along with guests. Some of the toilet stalls on the first floor were out of toilet paper, even though it was the middle of the day. By the end of the day, the soap dishes above the washbasins may be empty, and there is no soap at all in the showers.
