You get what you pay for
Pros:

The location is unbeatable

Cons:

The fact that the reception isn’t 24/7 so anybody could walk into the property
People were smoking in the dorms
Most of the toilets were not in order
There wasn’t any Internet available and would most likely disconnect when it connected temporarily

Pros:

Its a good location everything is like a 5 to 18 minute walk from the hostel. The staff was friendly

Cons:

The cleanliness of the hostel wasn the greatest, I thought I saw bed bugs but can't be sure. There wasn't any curtains for the windows so if you stayed out late and wanted to sleep through the morning you'd be blinded by sunlight.

Pros:

Location is great walkable from the city center and station also

Cons:

We were in a room with no conditioning and one window only for 8 people.in the room there was cleaner lady living and other girl just living there it was very smelly at first then we demanding opening one tiny window.bedsheets were already on and you dont have option to take new ones and make bed on your own.cleaner lady demanded sheets were clean although they had stains on them.bunk bed first floor is very low basically you sleep on the floor.in the shower hot water is a problem we could not shower.our room was in female dorm and it was all the way up the last floor.stairs are veeery steep so consider that also if you are traveling with suitcase it would be quite challenging.wi-fi is only available on first and second floor.there is even no connection on the last floor so we had to just sit on tge stairs downstairs for wifi.only good thing about the facility is location thats all.would not recommend the particular one we took which was 8 bed female dorm

Nos dió miedo y nos fuimos un día antes
Pros:

La cama estaba bien.

Cons:

Muy sucio, olía fatal en todos lados, las duchas no funcionaban en la primera planta y en el resto salía agua muy fría, la que se alojaba era rara y la gran mayoría tampoco tenía una higiene mínima.
El baño de la primera planta muy sucio, en peores condiciones por la mañana, tras la madrugada (vómitos).
Teníamos dos noches reservadas ver Rotterdam y luego irnos a Ámsterdam y decidimos irnos una noche antes a pesar de perder el dinero. Daba miedo.

Mala estancia
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Todo, no hubo aseo, toca dormir con 8 personas en una habitación donde máximo caben 4, por lo que el olor de la habitación era insoportable, no pude dormir ahí, me tocó irme a 5am a buscar algún ligar donde pasar porque era asqueroso el lugar, todo el lugar en general

Would not recommend
Pros:

Location

Cons:

There was not a WiFi in the third floor. NO HEATING AT ALL for our stay(2days). No warm water in the shower as well. Also the environment was uncomfortable and we felt unsafe. Even the receptionist told us to not leave important staff in the room so yes it was a little bit creapy
