Quite a good place to stay, the pods are comfortable but unless you're young and fit get a lower one.
Restaurant area is welcoming and drinks and food seem to be averagely priced for Amsterdam, portions are on the small side. It's more like a hotel than a hostel so if you're in a pod and on a budget there's nowhere to relax really without spending money and no self-catering. There is a space with what looked like desks but it was workmanlike, nowhere to slouch.
Finally,, it's a metro stop from the main station, the area seems residential but there isn't. Uchida in the way of restaurants or bars, in fact I never saw a bar there. I did discover by accident a very nice fish and chippy place.
