Thanks!
The building is really unique, and Generator have made use of it in a great way. I loved having the separate spaces to either work or hang out. The park is also beautiful, and it’s very well connected to the city with public transport. Everything seems quite newly refurbished and in great condition. The locker under the bed was not very clean though, which wasn’t great as that’s where the bedding was stored. I was a bit bothered by having to make my own bed up too - haven’t had this situation in a hostel before. I waited a long time to check in - the room wasn’t ready until aftet 4pm despite the 2pm check in time. Reception staff were apologetic and offered me a drinks voucher because of this. It seemed like you might need to hire another housekeeper, as other people mentioned having the same issue with a very late check in. Overall I’m happy I chose to stay here! Thanks

The worst place I’ve ever stayed. I was given a dorm with five men, although I am an aged woman. I explained that to the staff, but they did nothing. It was late at night. I had to spend hours in the auditorium they have there, and to leave the place. They didn’t refund me any cent. I paid almost 300 euros for the nightmare.

i cannot speak for the “Hostel” part of the hotel as I booked a private room, but from my experience this place is very quiet and comforting, the bed is nice the view is fantastic and the bathroom was spotless. the hotel itself is a 15-20 minute walk from amsterdam city center so you definitely do not need to take a cab. In hindsight, it is a tiny bit pricey, but other than that it’s good for what it is.

The location is a little far, but the tram is a 2 minute walk which made it easier. I stayed in a pod, which I absolutely loved. However, the pods were located on the basement which is fine. But the bathrooms on the basement smelled so bad. Smelled as if something were wrong with the pipes. That was my only issue. Also, bring your own towel unless you want to rent one.

Large but very efficiently managed hostel with CV accommodations for everyone, but especially well suited to solo travelers. The facilities are generally excellent with good dining and a 24hr desk with various snacks and rental options (bicycles, towels, locks).

4/10 Fair

I got to the hostel pretty late and was very tired from all the commuting. You think of hostel as a place to sleep so I thought the moment I get to my room I can just sleep. But no, I had to make my own bed by putting on bed sheets etc. the bed sheets had holes and stains on them. I was on the first bunk bed and I can not count the amount of time my head hit the top of the bed. It’s so short and I’m a very short girl as well. I’ve also stayed at other hostels on this trip and bunk beds but this one felt exceptionally cheap. The bathroom is separated from washroom which is totally fine but the bathroom doesn’t have a garbage can and they don’t even offer shampoo or shower gel.
