Great staff, the pub crawl is their best feature because you get to meet the wonderful guides and go to fun places where locals meet. Props to Wojtek & Lidia for making our stay memorable.

10/10 Excellent

The hostel is well designed and functional. In the shared (mixed) dorms, the bunk beds had curtains for privacy and large lockers for luggage storage. The bathrooms are clean and the showers have great water pressure. The reception/coworking cafe is very aesthetically pleasing and you get a free drink ticket from the coffee bar :) The only critique is the dorm bedrooms have motion sensor lights at nighttime, which could be distracting if you’re trying to sleep/stressful if you’re trying not to wake people up. Really enjoyed my stay!

Stayed for 4 nights. Perfect spot! Dorm area was always quite and people were considerate! Bathrooms may be a little tight for some. But great place to stay as I was solo for this trip.

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.

Never gave me any towels or clean bedding when they said they would

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.
Gesa, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
