AVOID THIS HOSTEL. I've stayed in a lot of hostels, don't have tremendously high standards and am not a prude, but this was horrible. Heart of Amsterdam? I think they need an anatomy lesson. I reckon they might have meant Armpit. The first problem was the bathrooms - the showers have been squeezed in behind the toilets so you have... More

Booked this hostel for 3 nights, wanted to stay here due to it being very central and within walking distance to most attractions, i.e. anne frank and van goghs museum. My friend and I (22 and 23yrs old both girls) were not sure what to expect of this hostel as there was mixed reviews on here. I myself have never... More

We arrived in Amserdam not knowing where to stay. Found this hostel right in the heart of the red light district, very cheap for the city, unique views (with characters changing every couple hours) from my window, and the environment inside was interestingly changing all the time. Do not expect nothing fancy or formal, this hostel will get you the... More

The Heart of Amsterdam is obviously... in the heart of Amsterdam, and this means seeing prostitutes dancing in their windows right across the street. If that does not bother you, then this place is great. The beds were comfortable, and every bed had an outlet nearby. The location was nearby everything including coffeeshops, the main streeet, sex shows, and lots... More

This hostel does what it says on the tin.. it is in the "heart of amsterdam". This Hostel was ideal for our trip to amsterdam for a 21st birthday and it is literally right next to the Red Light District, if not in it. Each room in the hostel has a different movie theme which was really cool, our room... More

This hostel was just horrible! The smell in our wet and humid room was disgusting. I felt like I was sleeping in a swamp. The wooden "deck" area was uneven and broken. It looked like a cheap and nasty brothel More
