Cheap?

Cheapest place in Amsterdam we could find. Their was a reason. Staff were lovely and friendly. Room was tiny. Ensuite was a cupboard. Stairs very steep and thin. No towels in rooms. Needed to buy them if you didn’t bring your own.

As basic as it gets.

This hostel is as basic as it gets. No kitchen, no lounge area, tiny bathrooms and only 3 for the entire place. It's on the 12 tram line which is handy, but don't be expecting big things.

Awful

Hi I had a room booked on the 21/06/18-23/06/18 we didn’t make it to the last day as we checked out early because we were disgusted about the room and how we was treated! We turned up on the Thursday 21/06/18 our first day To check in to reception to be told to come back at 5pm for maintenance which is fair enough so we left and came back at 5pm to room 301 that hadn’t been cleaned or sheets changed their was liquid or fluid left on the floor from the last people their it was disgusting! We went to reception to be told that the room will be cleaned at 6pm when we were out so that was fine.
We returned back to room 301 at 3am where the room had still not been cleaned or sheets changed so was forced to sleep with no blankets or sheets as we didn’t want to use dirty sheets! In the morning 22/06/18 we made another complaint at reception and was told the room will be cleaned by 4:30pm and they apologised for the what happened and assured us it would be done to the new agreed time.
When we came back to room 301 at 7pm it had still not been cleaned or sheets changed so me and my friends checked out on the 22/06/18 and didn’t stay for our last day. This place has ruined my Amsterdam experience

Great location and very clean

Located close to Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam I am sign, very easy to get into the city centre. Staying in a dorm with 12 beds was fine, they were comfortable and noise was very little. The only downside was that there was only one bathroom (as in one toilet/shower in a room) per floor.

This is not a Hotel just a Hostel

Pictures was ok when I booked the room but that was not in real. The place is totally different than a room you expected in a hotel. Very small room with noisy beds and not a clean area. Bitten with a bug (not sure if that was bed bug or something else) during stay in this room. Stairs are sucks. Totally not worse the amount I saved with booking this hostel room instead of real Hotel room.

Expensive hostel close to Museumplein

It's a fairly spartan hostel fairly well located for visiting many Amsterdam attractions. It's on a main street so there is a bit of street noise. The stairs are steep and narrow and it's a pain getting luggage up and down. Toilets and showers are few. The rooms are fairly packed with bunk beds. This hostel is the most expensive hostel I have ever had anywhere, but it was the cheapest on expedia. Why is Amsterdam so expensive?

Budget Stay

Good place for a budget stay as it's right near the Museum district, but the room was small and packed with bunk beds and the sheets had a couple stains on them (still clean I'm sure but not exceptional).

Worst experience ever !

Very small and steep stairs, very tight room, no social area, no fridge, no kitchen, the only places where you can go are : room, bathroom, reception and the street of course. very small bathroom and sink (1 bathroom/floor), only cold-water-shower, no luggage locker. there's a wall chart that remembers guests to smile, but the receptionist doesn't smile (I mean the taller one). 10EUR as a deposit for the key :/
When booking, I chose to pay in cash, but I was surprised that my card was charged following booking confirmation. I recommend you guys this hostel only as a last resort. for me I'll skip Amsterdam in this case.

Affordable budget hostel near the centre

Stayed overnight in Hostel Cosmos in late August 2016. Straightforward, no frills, non-smoking, non-drinking hostel. Late check in available. Easy to get to using directions stated in the website. Very close to the museums and Vondelpark. Plenty of good eateries nearby. The hostel itself has a vending machine for late night snacks and drinks if required. Check in and check out was smooth with no problems.

Fine

convenient place to stay. although the 3 EUR charge to leave your bag at the hotel after checkout is absurd! they said i could leave my bag until 1pm for 3 EUR then I would have to come back. No other hostel charges for this standard service.

THE WORST THE RUDEST DONT EVEN THINK

My experience is that i arrived half an hour earlier ... 12:30 pm ,It was raining and this place has no door ,its like a prison with an intercom. The rude unprofessional person answered \"can i haelp u\" as if he was surprised,, i said i have a reservation...he said 1 o'clock! I said can i wait inside , he answered very coldly and rudely NO! Then i said can i even leave my luggage?! Same way NO,,, give me some profanity privileges then i can describe this thing! I didn't even check in and i booked another hotel. Really the worst on the planet... Btw im a pilot and this particular trip was around half Europe...im not a newbie or one inexperienced person , I travelled around the world like 2 times.. So trust me u don wanna go there... U will be literally left outside like a begger.. So u do the math . It doesn't worth it.

Stay only if you do not have an option !

There are a few things which I would like to highlight as below:
1) Staff is ok, they try to be helpful, upon request i was allotted a lower bed. (this was mentioned while booking and also I had called 3 days prior to my satay, as I have to take care of my back)
2) There is one common bathroom with toilet on each floor, and NOT in each room. So one bathroom for say about 20 guests or so
3) The bathroom on the 2nd and 3rd floor has a knob which you have to press each time for having a continuous flow of water, I press means about 20 seconds of flow!
4) I wanted to have some hot water and I had to use the vending machine paying 1 Euro, surprisingly the cup was free ;-)
5) There is one plug in each room with an extention wire that you can use to charge you phones/tablets etc.etc, ideally there should be one plug point near each bed.
6) Euro 10 deposit for the key!
7) Bath towel on rent
8) For all the above I have paid Euro 104 for each night.
9) Rooms are really cramped
10) For getting up to the higher bed there are no steps as normally they should have. But fortunately there is a plastic stool (free of cost!)

The best pillow around the hostels

You don't have to make your sheet for the pillow, bed and blanket, that's the first good point. The pillow is soft and think which is so comfortable.
The only bad thing is you have to train to take shower with single hand and in darkness. Because the sensors are less sensible and the tube stops every 10 seconds.

Close to Museumplein

This place is within a couple blocks of Museumplein. There was scaffolding over the front of the building but they posted a sign. Typically steep stairs. You have to rent towels. I'm not sure if it is possible to change out your linens if you need to. There is a shared bathroom on each floor and some rooms have private showers, as we did. The room was quite small. With about two inches between the beds we only had some limited walking room. The bed was strangely lumpy and I fell out of bed one morning. They have signs posted for a cafe nearby that offers breakfast. Some limited non-alcoholic beverages and snacks are available at the front desk but you are not supposed to take them to your room. Construction started early every morning. Jackhammers make great alarm clocks.

Great staff, location, and accommodation

I am making a trip through Europe and so far this is the best hostel I have stayed in. The staff were really polite, VERY helpful, and friendly. The room was nice and clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was clean. The hostel is also in a good location. There are many good restaurants and coffee shops within a 10-15 minute walk. The museums and Iamsterdam sign are 5 minutes away

Friendly and cosy hostel!

When I first walked in, tired from travelling, I was greeted by two very friendly, warm, and welcoming guys (Cosi and Yassine). They put me at ease straight away and eagerly showed me some tour ideas and places to visit on a map, happily answering my many questions. There was an empty room they gave me which was available although I was originally booked for a shared mixed, and so I felt at home and safe. In the morning coffee and tea were free-flowing in the small and humble reception area, and it was a really pleasant atmosphere where we could chat and chill out. Recommended!!!

J’ai aimé la proximité avec l’aéroport (30 min en bus) et les musées (5min à pied). Je n’ai pas aimé le confinement des lits; l’espace restreint dans la chambre. La promiscuité avec les étrangères; qui somme toute; manquent parfois de savoir-vivre. (Sèche cheveux à minuit) Je n’ai pas aimé non plus la douche, minuscule; le jet mural pas pratique pour les toilettes intimes; les minuscules gouttes qui en sortent pour se rincer les cheveux; l’eau trop chaude qui s’arrête toutes les 20 secondes. La lumière toutes les 5 min.

The bed was somehow sleepable but not comfy for sure, only one shower and toilet on a floor, they have all the rule but since they don't know who is doing what, they don't care if followed or not, so other than the price and location, not recomended.

Las habitaciones son minimas y en mal estado, no tienen espacios comunes. HAY PULGAS!!!!!! Podrás ver de noche como ponen en las escaleras veneno.
Estuvimos con 3 amigas en una hab con baño privado, carisimo para lo que es, ni siquiera podes lavarte los dientes porque el tamaño de la bacha es una cargada! Paren mas lejos pero por nada del mundo vayan a COSMOS.

En relación calidad precio está muy bien, pero para la gente que pretende un hotel de lujo, mejor busque por otro lado (y pagué el doble).
Comparado a otros hostels a los que he ido eslas literas almohadas y acolchado son cómodas, y el personal muy atento.

ADE기간에 머물렀는데 만약 다른 선택지가 있었다면 다른곳으로 갈것이라 생각합니다.
페스티벌 기간이라 방값은 평소보다 3~5배 이상 올라있는 상황이라 어쩔수 없이 머물렀습니다.
우선 위치는 기차역에서 전철을 타고 30분 가량 걸립니다. 주말에 마라톤이 있어서 전철이 끊겨서 교통이 조금 불편했습니다. 그나마 미술쪽에 관심있으신 분은 반고흐 미술관에서 한 2정거장 거리라 나쁘진 않을 것입니다.
시설은 우선 2층에 카운터가 있는데 계단이 좁고 높아서 캐리어로 이동하기가 정말 힘이 듭니다.
6인실 이었는데 방은 6명이 사용하기에는 조금 좁은 편이었습니다.
같은방에 나이대가 10대인 어린친구들이 조금 있었는데 방안에서 흡연을 하여서 좋은 기억은 없는 곳입니다.
