I actually met both of the owners and talk extensively with one of them during the night hours.. I was enlightened by how sincere honest and hardworking people they are. Polite as well. Their capsules hotel is one of a kind. I was hesitant to stay at first cause I don't like sharing space and sleeping with other people but the experience was far from typical hostels. You actually have your private space and can comfortably sleep, a little locker for your stuff , perfectly clean bathrooms and showers. I never felt I was sharing spaces except at night when everyone is sleeping more or less. The location is amazing. Amsterdam Noord is super nice and a very smart location for someone to explore Amsterdam. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and I will be sure to come back

Location was AWE SOME ! Seriously, the views from each window were amazing, super close to Centraal and main attractions and well connected through public transportation. Bathroom was great: super clean, with great toiletries and lots of space. Comfort 100%. Room itself was quite small as advertised but it was pleasantly furnished in a very functional way: we could sit comfortably in bed, plenty of room for our hand luggage, huge mirror and plenty of plugs. Plus, free coffee <3

It was lovely!! The location is absolutely awesome! Is not close to the centre but the tram stop is right in front of the hostel so you are 10 minutes away. The staff was incredible, super friendly, you have free fruit, tea and coffee and we stayed on a Tuesday night so they gave us free cheese and wine. It is a bit more expensive than you normal hostel but totally worth it! I will definitely comeback!

I want to thank you for everything. It is a perfect business. It is very clean. The staff's style is amazing. They are very friendly and smiling. They helped me in every way. It has the best location in Amsterdam. It is 10 minutes from the center and it is noiseless. It was a stay that exceeded my expectations. I can say it is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. When I come to Amsterdam again, this will be my choice again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
