I have just got back from a couple of nights at the globe with 12 friends. We stayed after going to Lowlands festival so we could recharge our batteries before heading home. From start to finish, the experience of the globe was awful. Granted, the location is superb, but then again, so is almost every hostel in Amsterdam. The receptionist... more

There was only one good thing about the hostel - it's location. Staff were unhelpful & didn't seem to know anything about the main attractions in Amsterdam - every hostel I've been to has had knowledgeable staff, many of whom will go out of the way to help you (at a hostel in Prague the owner gave us his own... more

This hotel is by far the worst hotel I have stayed in my life. Damp rot on the walls, window seals that leaked. rooms that were never cleaned. And to make things worse it cost as much as a quality hotel. I believe it is going to be closed and gutted, which is the best thing that could happen to... more

This is the grimiest hostel i have stayed in, contrary to the pics the hotel has used to advertise itself. The bar/checkin is dark and dingy, the staff are rude and act as if you're wasting their time - for buyin a drink! our room was for 5, the size was ok, but the walls were dirty, and it looked... more

Spent 2 nights there in sept. Check in was smooth and quick, asked to see the room before paying which was fine. The room was very basic but what was expected, a little on the small side for 6, but it was clean and tidy, there were marks on the wall, but nothing to stress about. The bathroom was spotless... more

Dont even think ov staying here. Ive been to Amsterdam 6 times and go at least once every year. Ive stayed in some shabby hotels, but this HOLE has got to be the worst..!! To make it even worse it was the most EXPENSIVE hotel accom ive paid (the only reason i stayed her is because it was a large... more

We booked 2 beds in a shared dorm so our expectations weren't too high. Our shared dorm had NO lock on the door and the padlocks supplied by the hostel didn't keep the lockers shut. We asked to be moved and after a lot of pressure and disbelief from the staff that the lockers didn't work we were moved into... more

This place is gross. The mattresses and linens were stained and the bathroom was dirty. We were three girls staying in a mixed dorm with 5 guys- which would have been fine, had one of them not been in his late 40s and slept in the nude. The lack of an age limit is a real problem. If you're a... more

First of all this is cheap, friendly and a great location. When we arrived it was easy to locate and checking in was fine. The globe is more of a hostel than hotel so dont be expecting much the bar below is open til 5AM which is great for a stag do. the bedrooms arnt up to much but you... more
