An unassuming, yet eclectic hostel just out of Oude Pijp - a quieter part of the city which has a huge range of cafes (the coffee and food kind), some quieter coffeeshops and walking distance to most major attractions. We stayed as a couple in a private room and were drawn to the boutique decor and the location out of the hustle and bustle of Central Amsterdam. In hindsight, and for that price, we would have stayed at a private room in a hotel as it may have proved more space and quiet. Outside noise from the street and from the hostel garden echoed to our room at all ours during our 3 night stay. This is good for those solo and social travellers making connections, but less so for us. The ear plugs and meditation app were appreciated, but did little to quell the noise unfortunately. The beds - very comfortable - and late check out provided some relief from this. We are fairly used to small rooms and bathrooms in Europe, but this one was particularly squashy. The toilet sits almost directly under the sink, and there we had to put our travelling bags on our bed to go through them as there simply wasn’t enough space on the floor. It was cute without being practical. Overall - we were satisfied enough. We would definitely choose another place for our next visit to Amsterdam.
