This hostel is located just 8-10 minutes walk+ferry ride northeast of the Central station. To get there by foot you take a free-of-charge ferries right at the Central station, then it is some 3-4 minute walk to the hostel. The frequent ferries run 24/7, so waiting time is really short. At the hostel I had a room with modern and clean WC and shower in the room. If you want new towels, you have to get it yourself at the reception. No bed making or so, due to it being a hostel I guess. I never went to the bar etc, so I can comment on that. The breakfast, that I paid EUR 6,50 (or so) extra for was not really up to what I would like to see for breakfast. And the coffee was terrible, sorry to say. You stand in line and pick what you want on a tray, I guess that is ok. But the first morning, there was a school class ahead of me. Learned to avoid breakfast at 7:30 am after that. The "personnel" I had anything to do with - in the reception and at breakfast - was very nice and kind. No complaints there. The closeness to the city of Amsterdam of course makes the location attractive. In summary: my four nights stay was okey, but the morning coffee needs to improve for me to ever go back again.
