Horrible and rude owner!
Nothing
My stay at this hostel was extremely disappointing and uncomfortable, mainly because of the rude and unprofessional behavior of the owner and the poor condition of the facilities.
During my stay, the owner saw on the security cameras that I was kissing someone. Instead of ignoring it or approaching the situation in a normal, respectful way, he came up to me in an angry and condescending tone and gave me a “warning” that “sex is not allowed.” This comment was completely inappropriate, disrespectful, and unprofessional. We did absolutely nothing wrong, yet we were treated as if we had done something terrible. His attitude was childish, unfriendly, and controlling, which made me feel completely unwelcome.
To make matters worse, he later called me over to identify myself in a tone that felt as if he was calling a dog — short, commanding, and without any respect. It was genuinely humiliating, especially considering that I had already checked in earlier that day, and his colleague (possibly his father or brother) had already verified my ID in the system. It felt as though he didn’t trust me or even believed I didn’t belong there.
The facilities were also far below standard. The beds were uncomfortable and way too small — whenever I turned my head, it would hit the wall. The toilets and showers were dirty and poorly maintained, and the whole place felt neglected. Getting a good night’s sleep was impossible, and the overall level of cleanliness was unacceptable.
All in all, this stay was a complete disaster. The combination of a rude, unprofessional owner, poor hygiene, and lack of comfort makes this hostel something I would absolutely not recommend. Hospitality, respect, and basic decency should be the foundation of any accommodation — but here, all of that was missing.
In short: if you’re looking for a clean, friendly, and respectful place to stay, avoid this hostel.

Disappointing
I stayed on the top bunk and the bed was very comfortable and the curtains provided privacy. On the other hand, my friends stayed on the ground floor, and since there were two mattresses on top of each other, the bed sank in the middle and they say it was super uncomfortable.
Besides the mattresses...
Next to one of the beds was a disgusting heater, with a pile of trash. We were promised a kitchen and a terrace, but there wasn't one.
The staff put their feet up on the counter and were never at the reception desk, nor could anyone call them.
Overall, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Good value for the price!
Clean and great staff and it’s a very quiet place to rest at while being in the room with multiple people. Nobody disturbed me at the time. I stayed for a couple of days and it is close to Amsterdam so easy commuting cause the place is close to the trainstation .

Not worth the money
Thé location, close to the station and the center of Zaandam
The staff, they kept mansplaining me, even after I asked to stop 'explaining' things. There was no table in thé kitchen, so no real place to eat. The terrace was closed for renovations, though this was not mentioned beforehand.

Crowded and ridiculous
Nice area.
Listing does not state that there are two sets of circular stairs which are very small and narrow. Very hard to walk up much less to take up luggage. No elevator either. The room I was assigned was very crowded with about 14 beds in a small room, with barely enough room to even walk to your bunk. Again, no room at all for luggage. They should take half of the bunks out. They assigned me the top bunk but the ceiling was slanted right on top of my bed. No room to even sleep. It would be impossible to fit in there unless you are a child. There is no way they should sell that as a bed. There is more room in the overhead compartment of an airplane. The attendant was not at the desk when I got there so I had to look for her. When I complained about the crowded accommodations, she got mad at me instead of apologizing. I cancelled and went down 3 blocks to another hostel that was excellent.

LAME, run away
Very tiny hostel. Mini-tiny kitchen often dirty. Only one bathroom with WC for one room and the rest of the hostel… no space to eat. I didn’t have the right to use the cooktop (for I don’t know what reason but the other guests could, no discrimination around). The room was very smelly and the bed curved due to so much used. Pretty pictures but it’s not comfortable at ALL!

Great area, very comfortable stay
Very Comfortable beds, bathrooms, and fully equipped kitchen as well as some nice vending machines.
Beautiful little town it's located in as well with everything you could want nearby.
quick Train ride/Bus ride to Amsterdam Centraal as well
No luggage storage, and the first receptionist was absolutely not very nice, though the guy who came the next day was extremely nice and helpful. Needs some work on their terrace urgently (has a lot of potential)

If you are okay with minimum of privacy this hotel is sufficient. I was not that satisfied, however I liked the help of
I liked the location of this hostel and the receptionists were very helpful. Also, they let us check in earlier.
The beds were comfortable.
I didn’t like that lots of people had a access to the room. We slept lil longer and 3 strange people entered the room, opened widely door, then we realized that one of them is responsible for cleaning (they didn’t introduce or ask)… IT happened also in the night and early morning, that some people entered the Room and checked if the bathroom was empty or clean or whatever.

Budget accommodation just a short train ride from Amsterdam
The hostel is about a 9 minute walk from Zandaam train station where there are regular trains into Amsterdam and to and from Schiphol airport. The staff are friendly and accommodating. It's a great place to meet people from all over the world. The beds were cozy and warm.
The mens room felt a bit overcrowded but I guess that's what you get in many budget hostels. You need to bring your own towel and I recommend to have some ear plugs handy as there will always be at least one person snoring in the room ;)
