Staff member who greeted us was really kind and welcoming - also got free coffee, bonus! First time ever staying in a hostel, and this place was a perfect first start. Bed was comfortable, the curtain on the bunks gives plenty of privacy, so you can sleep easy. The Bees security was spot in with needing your key card to get through the front door but also your floor door AND your locker! ( lockers are also perfect size for a suitcase or in our case big rucksacks. The location is perfect, about 20 minute walk to train station/ferry and also about 20 mins to the centre. When we visited I suppose you could say it was off season so it wasn't incredibly busy or rowdy but still plenty of people if you want to socialise. And if you really want to fit in with the locals, you can also rent a bike! Would totally go back to the bee hostel again!

Honestly, not a bad thing to say about the place. However, only thing that was a little misleading was the number of beds in a room. When we booked we booked the 6 person room but when we got there, the room was actually a 12 person room in like an 'L' shape so 6 people up one side and another 6 across the bottom. But in all fairness, this wasn't a big inconvenience or anything, just caught us off guard for a first hostel experience.

Very nice and modern hostel, well equipped, you can find there everything needed for a comfortable stay, the location is great, I could walk to the center.

The bathroom door was opening/closing loudly, which made me wake up a few times at night because someone was using it.

The staff were lovely, so friendly and helpful. The bathroom was very clean, no horrible smells or mould, the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean and fresh. There were spacious lockers. Everything you'd expect in a good hostel, really.

Just little niggles, really - the dorm had lots of beds yet there was no space to put your case except out in the main corridor - seemed a security issue. You had to make your own bed on arrival which was hard to do late at night while trying to be quiet! There were three toilets and two showers between about 12 people, which actually wasn't an issue because I woke up at 11.

Very clean and quiet.

You had to make your own bed. With the amount of money paid for the booking, it only seemed fair the bed was made already.

-Beds and pillows were actually really comfortable (rare for a hostel!) -Rooms were quiet at night and I slept comfortably -They have a group WhatsApp for guests and it was a great way to meet people and go out together -Very clean and tidy hostel. Facilities were great and the locker was locked by keycard.

-Service was odd. The girl who checked me in seemed a bit out of it and as if she was bored and didn't care. But others were nice. -You have to make your own bed!!! They give you a bag with sheets, pillowcase and towel. You're expected to put it on and take it off and return at the end. Considering the cost of staying I would have expected my bed to be made already like every other hostel. Wasn't a fan of that but not a deal breaker. I still had a good stay. -Shower water pressure and temperature was inconsistent... Also only one shower and toilet for the whole dorm room floor of around 20 people.

The location was perfect and close to public transportation, which made it very easy to go around the city. The neighborhood had nice restaurants, ideal for days when I'd stay nearby at night. The room was really clean and tidy, and it met the expectations I had. The staff was great, always willing to help!

If I had the chance to choose, I'd prefer to stay in the lower bed in the bunk bed, as the tiny ladder to go up to the bed was kind of unstable, and it was difficult to go up and down. It was also difficult to put on the bed sheets. The bathroom was great, but it felt that we could have more sinks, given the amount of beds per dormitory.

I love this hostel! The facility was clean, the beds were comfortable and staff is super friendly. I like the common area to get some work done plus the cafe and staff is available 24hrs which was helpful in my case because I had odd working hours. The neighborhood is perfect, away for the touristy/congested area but very close to central and metro around the corner. Close to Zoo and Botanical Gardens with plenty of restaurants close by. I would definitely recommend if you’re staying in Amsterdam.

Location was amazing, and the overall look and aesthetic of the hostel was beautiful. I really loved how I didn't have to bring my own lock and everything was accessible though the key card. The bed area was cozy. Staff was wonderful and helpful and I love how it is 24/7 front desk, really makes you feel comfortable.

I didn't realize there was no body wash or shampoo in the hostel which is my own fault for not double checking. I wish there was more sinks but I felt like the bathroom was only busy in the morning hours. My only complaint really is it gets super hot in the bunkbed at the top, the curtains hold on a lot of heat so made it a bit uncomfortable because I wanted to keep the curtains closed for privacy.
