BUG review
This hostel has great presentation, with a huge bar and sleek lounge area (with free Wi-Fi) and a courtyard. They play good music at the bar, and it seems to bring in a happy crowd. Centrally located and very secure, it is a good budget choice. Staff are hot and cold, depending on the day, and the décor is basic and standardized, which is how chain hostels usually are. Rooms are a bit dark, hot and ill-ventilated, making them feel very stuffy. Bathrooms are below average and very small, though they provide free soap in the shower. They also have private double rooms which are small but nice, and each has an interesting theme, but they are quite pricey.

Great staff, Allan really knows how to run a hostel :)Had a fantastic time here, met some great people. Beds are comfortable enough, showers are warm as you want. The lack of kitchen is the only problem with all st christopher hostels but that is a minor inconvenience! would definitely recommend this place to others who want a great time in amsterdam and be close to Centraal station as well as being right in the red light district!!!
