I was in Amsterdam to see the Mr B show but was disappointed by the low budget approach the hostel had taken to this new apartment, which makes RyanAir seem like Concorde by comparison. This hostel was not cheap either. Up the top of two flights of corrugated iron stairs at ridiculously steep angle, we were affronted by a room... more

This is a small and efficient hostel with a great location for the young budget traveler in Amsterdam. Very near to the train station, a grocery store, the Dam and the redlight district. Big rooms (20 beds), so noisy and bright, but what do you expect in an Amsterdam hostel? Hopefully not much sleep. Otherwise, the Aivengo is clean and... more

I really enjoyed my stay at Aivengo Youth Hostel. The hostel is located just a 3 minute walk from the central station, and is close to coffee shops, restaurants and just a ten minute walk from the red light district. The hostel offers two computers with free internet access and has a very friendly atmosphere. The Aivengo Youth Hostel has... more

Its a 7 minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal station and you dont have to take a boat so that is really convenient. We stayed in a 4 bed private ensuite room which was in another premises on the next street. The room was nice clean and big. The only problem was that there is no proper kitchen... just a small... more

I went with two friends for a weekend as we got cheap flights and wanted a cheap but central place to stay. The directions we were provided with were brilliant, only 5 mins walk from Dam Sqaure and Centraal Station, the location is central without being too rowdy. The staff on reception were always friendly and helpful, providing us with... more

We had a nice time. Location can not be better, free internet is nice to have. Don't know much about dorms, but private rooms were excellent. Recommended!! more

I stayed in Aivengo Youth Hostel by myself for 4 nights in a big female dorm that was actually in another building next to the main hostel. You had to climb up the narrow staircase to the top floor. The dorm was rather armylike but the view from the window was beautiful and justified the climbing! There was only one... more

I went there by myself on july 07 it was a nice small hotel very easy to get to from the train station and with great friendly staff, I got to meet a couple people while I was there since there are like 20 beds in the same room but it was interesting. Again the staff helped me to get... more

A group of 10 of us stayed in the private rooms (4, 4 and 2) which resulted in us staying in a seperate building from the main hostel which we had all to ourselves. The rooms were pretty clean, large but very basic. The mattress's (on bunkbeds) were extremely uncomfortable (metal springs!) and each person was provided with a small... more
