The place is nice, there is no kitchen you can cook in though, so it has a hostel+hotel feel to it. It is very clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful, there is a receptionist at the reception desk at all times. Check-out and check-in was super fast. It is situated 3 metro-stations away from amsterdam centraal so it is quite central for sure! There is a nice park directly beside the hostel. Nice stay :)
