Well situated hostel, near by the centre of Amsterdam, in a quiet park with some playgarden for the children. Tram stops also near the hostel. The building has been renewed recently and the chambres are clean and decent. In the lobby there is a lively ambiance, but we had a good and calm nightrest. Good quality beds! But don't expect hotel facilities as standard, as you have to pay extra for towels, soap, car parking place, ... They should have mentioned that when we booked! The breakfast is simple but good. Most of the staff members only speak English.
