Pros: Bar and eating area were cool to hang and chill. The beds were a bit firm but I did not mind. Having to keep riding the ferry was a bit much but if you factor that into your commute you should be good. Currently there is a ton of construction on all sides which hindered me finding it the first time but once I found the bridge I was good.

Pros: This was my first trip there, and I loved the Generator almost the most. It had a great atmosphere, and everyone I encountered there was very nice. The cafe is fantastic, and a great place to hang out if you have work to do.
Cons: The rooms WERE a bit small, but for the average traveler/backpacker they are totally sufficient. I happened to have quite a bit of luggage with me (it's what happens when I'm traveling for business), and I felt like a total inconvenience to my roommates (even though they swore I was fine). My ONLY complaint with the experience at Generator is that the shower drain was quite clogged, and the shower stall would be filled with water by the second minute.

Pros: The staff was really nice and helpful.
Cons: My uncomfortable stay was entirely due to the context of my situation. I just needed a place to crash for a night so that I could pick up a friend from the airport early the next day. First I got placed in a mixed dorm where I was the only woman. I walked into a room full of shirtless men who all knew each other and didn't expect me. Since I was the only person in the room they didn't know, they all wanted to get to know me, when all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I asked for my room to be changed, which was possible. I was surprised to find nobody in my new room until a few hours later when I was woken up by another group of people who all knew each other and were surprised to find me sleeping in "their" room. I ended up pretending I was asleep, and they spent hours in disappointment, because they clearly planned to party all night in the room. I felt unwelcome and in the way. I never had a situation like this before in other hostels, and maybe it was just bad luck. Either way, I don't feel good about booking here again.

I don't like the fact that there is an age restriction. I'm 40 years old and I don't mind staying in a hostel. It would be wiser (in my opinion) to have a disclaimer instead of banning someone because of their age.
Located in Amsterdam City Centre, this hostel is within a 5-minute walk of Body Worlds, Dam Square and Madame Tussauds. Royal Palace and Amsterdam Museum are also within 10 minutes. Dam Stop is only a 4-minute walk and Nieuwmarkt Station is 6 minutes.

Pros: Very clean. Towel provided. I brought my own flip-flops, soap and shampoo, but none were strictly necessary (they had a funny 'soap stick' by the showers). Comes with breakfast (quite plain though).
Cons: Eight minutes walk away from any bus stop, restaurant etc. Much further away from Amsterdam proper, though the 14 tram gets you there in ~20 minutes. Either bring a bike (and be a good biker) or get an all day bus pass. Wifi intermittent. Dinner restaurant often closed when supposed to be open.

Top tips for finding the perfect Amsterdam hostel
- There are plenty of hostels in Amsterdam to suit the needs of most travelers. Consider the Flying Pig Beach Hostel, located at Noordvijk Beach; the Flying Pig Downtown near Amsterdam Central Station; and the Flying Pig Uptown in the cultural heart of the city. All three offer mixed dormitories, private rooms, secured lockers, and a lively social scene. Alternatively, Shelter City is an alcohol-free establishment with two locations: Shelter Jordan near the Anne Frank House, and Shelter City, close to the New Market.
- Couples can marvel at the novelty of Amsterdam Hotelboat, which is near the Central Train Station. But with limited rooms and high demand, this can be a pricey option, though certainly worth a look. The Amsterdam Hotelboat serves breakfast amid awesome views, and there is a bike rental place nearby, ideal for exploring the sights on land. Another good option for couples is Cocomama, located within walking distance of Heineken Experience in the downtown area and complete with a private garden and kitchen, if you wish to prepare your own meals. St. Christopher at the Winston is also recommended.
- For those who wish to make the most of a tight budget, Stayokay Amsterdam Vondelpark is a hostel in Amsterdam that is a highly rated option in the heart of the city. It is located within easy reach of the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum, a perfect setting if you are traveling with a few friends. Options include same-sex or mixed rooms with private bathrooms, lockers to safeguard your valuables, and an onsite laundromat to take care of your limited wardrobe. There, you can enjoy happy hour at the bar, or head down to Leidseplein Square, where a vibrant nightlife awaits.
- At Train Lodge Amsterdam, converted cars provide sleeping accommodations for guests, complete with a terrace and a bistro car for dining. It’s located near Amsterdam Sloterdijk Station in the city center. This hostel even offers a car with over 30 beds for large groups (school trips, reunions) who prefer the convenience of bunking together. Another creative hostel in Amsterdam is Clinknoord, a former laboratory close to the IJ River that still has many of the original structural features. The Clinknoord offers an onsite laundry room, fully equipped kitchen, and 24h reception.
