Avoid Generator
Terribly noisy. A basement party bar pounds out loud music until 4am. Impossible to sleep in the PODS Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights. Also, hundreds of school age kids arrive each day by bus load from the region. Huge breakfast lines. This is not a hostel but a factory.

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed in a 6 bunk room. The bunkbeds had outlets/lights/and a privacy curtain. The shower was separate from the toilet (in the same room) but could have been better in the aspect of actually closing the door to prevent the water from hitting the ground. The staff were friendly and ready to help with any need. Bring your own towel or rent one for €6. They have laundry machines. €4 for wash & €4 for dryer. A single tidepod will cost €2. Breakfast is quite nice, all you can eat for €9.50. I suggest going to the local market and purchasing water for daily use or for snacks. There are toliets in the basement for privacy or afterhours. They have foot lockers under the bunkbeds to store your luggage, maybe it's just me, but they're kinda loud when you roll them out at 7am while everyone is asleep. I suppose it's the hostel life? I've stayed at another hostel in Amsterdam and it didn't even compare to this one. I haven't tried looking for another one because i enjoy this one. Excellent place to meet new friends!
