- "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! "

- "awesome stay" - "Great location and there’s a really big safe/lock box for each person under the bed - bring your own lock! Everything was super clean too. My only problem was how long the check in process took since there were only two people at the front desk and they worked very slowly" - "I must admit, I was a little apprehensive of booking this place, but to my surprise it’s a hidden gem !! Super clean, yes it doesn’t have bells and whistles on it but functionality is the key. Toilets, showers all commune style but kept spotlessly clean at all times. The bar downstairs is superb where you can get beers and food from, and with its own outside smoking are caters for all needs. I was travelling solo but found the bed more than adequate in a 4 dorm and the privacy curtain made it feel very homely. Within the bed area you have a lamp and a charge point for the phone and under the bed there is a lockable storage unit for your own personal equipment to be securely stored away when your asleep / out. Staff are superb aswell and all so very friendly. "

Yes, the stairs are a bit grubby and *very* steep but so were every other stairs we came across in Amsterdam. Yes, the beds are probably narrower and closer together than some other hotels, but they were absolutely clean and combined with the fantastic location we were delighted at this find. Absolutely recommend it from our experience. We had a twin room."

Which was the back of the hotel and there were no issues with noise from the Main Street even with the windows open. Would recommend if you’re looking for a budget friendly accommodation in the centre. "
