8/10 Very good

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.

Excellent stay
Amazing stay -- wonderful staff, great atmosphere and space.

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.

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!

솔로 여행에 아주 좋은 숙소
트램이 바로 앞에 위치해있어서 관광지로 이동하기에도 아주 좋은 위치입니다. 친절한 스탭이 이용방법을 잘 설명해줬고 로비가 정말 아늑하고 좋았어요. 침대도 깨끗하고 커텐으로 가려지니 프라이빗했어요. 화장실 샤워장 2개씩 있는데 붐비지 않게 잘 이용했습니다. 다들 매너가 좋아서 조용히 쉬고 꿀잠도 잤네요. 다음에 와도 또 이용할 생각입니다~

6/10 Good

Nur zwei Klo/ Dusche für 12 Bette. Schlechte Luft wegen Bettvorhänge. Das Licht ging auf, als man die Bettvorhänge öffnete. Man musste sie also geschlossen halten, um das Licht aus zu haben. Sehr unbequem. Bette in drei Ebenen war auch unbequem
