Perfectly situated outside the main hustle and bustle. Very clean, comfy beds, good bathroom facilities (although only 1 working sink in ladies dorm was a bit tricky at busy times). Silent closing on the bathroom door would be a good addition, as would disabling the hairdryer after 11pm - no one should be drying their hair at 3am in a shared space!! Overall really lovely though. Recommended.

The hostel is very clean, close to the centre (10 min walk or 5 by bus). All the staff was friendly, from Isaya (if I got his name correctly) to Gaby, the gym guy, the night one and the girl with straight, black hair. Property was not old and they told me that soon they are also going to open other rooms, which means even more cleanliness. I'll be back to Amsterdam and definitely I will go back again to The Bee Hostel
