Frankly quiet
The hostel is great! The location is perfect, near the city center (Dam 5min walk) the central station is 10min, the only problem is that there is only one catch for 4 beds ... So take a multiple power;) But I recommend without moderation!
Ma sœur et moi avons passé un très bon moment à l'auberge de jeunesse Shelter City. En plein centre d'Amsterdam, elle nous a offert un séjour très agréable : personnel souriant et serviable, possibilité de jouer au ping-pong, au baby-foot, à la guitare, au piano... plus un accès à une terrasse calme et ensoleillée. Que demander de plus ? Je recommande vivement cette auberge, merci encore pour votre accueil !

Une auberge au top ! Tout est pratique ! Plein centre ville, dortoirs confortables avec casiers (prévoir cadenas mais sinon ils en vendent), petit déjeuner agréable servi jusque 10h30, petite cours intérieure avec des tables de jardin et des canapés confortables, sanitaires propres, et personnel très sympathique ! Bref, j'ai adoré et je recommande !
Well located, the breakfast service was a bit slow
I came back for only 1day it was so fun good reception people very friendly. The room are very clean same for se shower
Perfect place to spend a couple nights, the location is just perfect. Nice breakfast too.
Everything was perfect: - warm welcome, helping, ready to serve, all with a smile - spacious rooms with duvet and comfortable bed - very clean both the room and the common areas - well heated - hearty breakfast - access to bar for dinner or to eat I recommend this establishment which is a haven of peace in the heart of the city
Located right next to the red light district, ideal for visiting the city. It is true that it is not very well isolated phonically but with a pair of earplugs more worries! Just be careful not breakfast at will but it's a choice between 3 different menu. One with typical breakfasts, pancakes ... The staff are young and super nice friendly !! I highly recommend this hostel !!!
Staff very welcoming and caring, The hostel is a small secret place worthy of a corner of paradise! A cute little terrace and very friendly will await you in this hostel. The breakfast is delicious. The rooms are comfortable. I am very satisfied
A very nice place, with an inner courtyard and a very nice cafe area. A little noisy. The typical red district street but the hostel is well located. Nice (garden and coffee very pleasant) and well located.
