No working shower

Showers were not nor king and they lie about fixing the problem. The staff do not pick up the trash from the trash bin in the room, the toilets are constantly dirty with no attention from staff who are constantly smoking in the entrance.

This was the worst hostel experience I’ve ever had. The rooms were dirty and the atmosphere was very unsafe. There were drug addicts in my room who told me they were living there permanently. They did all sorts of drugs. Nothing matched the positive reviews, and I felt completely misled. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!

This Hostel is in a great location in Amsterdam, just a 5 minute walk from museums, the Vondelpark, restaurants and downtown Amsterdam. We stayed in a double room which was very tiny but did the job. I will say it was not the cleanest, the room could have used a vacuum and a wipe down of windows and surfaces in general. The shower room was very dirty, very limited water pressure and only cold water. I heard theres hot water sometimes in the morning. Overall, great location, we felt safe but it was smelly and dirty.

They don't accept luggage to keep, receptionist won't accept it. It was a very small space. Reception desk was beside the kitchen. Non-smoking place but the girl who was assigned to my room was smoking WEED so I had to move! Rooms were so small, like 5sqms I guess. They don't clean the rooms. They don't sweep, mop, nor vacuum them. Lights switch was broken, doors knobs were broken at the toilets and there was no hot water! Other electricity sockets were not working and my roommate had to ask several times. The location was very good, just 20-50meters was the tram, very nearby the museums, restaurants, parks, city center.

Complaint about Poor Customer Service and Lack of

I was extremely dissatisfied. As soon as I arrived and spoke with the management, I was told that all rooms were booked, and they had no availability! I had to find another place to stay, which caused me a lot of inconvenience. I have used the Hotels.com app several times before and have always been satisfied, but this time, I was very disappointed. I paid around 100 euros for 4 nights, and I am very unhappy with what happened. I felt frustrated and angry. I also wrote a letter to the hotel management requesting a refund, but I have not received any reimbursement. I hope you will look into this matter; otherwise, you risk losing a very loyal customer.

Bed bugs, Impolite staff and no left luggage

Was not allowed to leave luggage, despite the employee who checked me in the night before and the website saying so, I was told that they would not look after my luggage while I headed out for the day which as you can imagine was extremely inconvenient. Additionally, the place has bed bugs, I've returned home with bites and itchy skin all over my body. I'm surprised they are still allowed to operate in this manor with all of the previous complaints of the same issue.

I should have read the reviews before booking. After my 4 night stay I can confirm all or most of the negative reviews: my single room had no blinds or curtains; the bathroom was not clean or tidy (a piece of plastic was hanging around for several days in the shower). the toilet was blocked! and on two mornings there was no toilet paper. Worst of all after night 3 I had insect bites all over by body, I am not sure if these were bed bugs or moscito bites. Terrible experience .....
