It was one of the cleanest Hostels, I have been in. I did have a problem twice, with the bathrooms being out of toilet paper. Don't get there to late, the front desk guy, wants to go to his home, to make you feel at home, or let you know much about the property. Toilet seat was broken. Bring your own towel first rule of this hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy! The young girl staff were friendly and helpful! Good place to sleep.

Great hostel in Alkmaar. I arrived by train and everywhere is walkable in town. Small room but you have everything needed. Small Kitchen to share on the floor. But no soundproof. Recommend to visit Kennemerpark!

Very central location - only downside is that rooms around the central ventilation shaft hear all the cover stations in the other rooms. The earplugs provided are very welcome. The breakfast (extra) is substantial. Would chose boiled egg and not scrambled to accompany another time!

8/10 Very good

It was great and the location is very convenient. The walls are very thin though so you can hear everything that's going on on the streets and in the hallway. And the lights were very dim and yellow in the room we stayed in. However the room was equipped with everything we needed including a microwave, a mini fridge and a kettle. For the price it was great! Also remember that you have to pay a tourist fee of 5,60€ upon check in.

6/10 Good

It was a four nights stay, the first room we had was awful (impossible to move for two people in this tiny room (would be alright for a single) nothing to hang or tide up bags and clothes, after a complain the staff kindly offered us to move to another room without extra charge, which we apreciated and from then it was alright even if the furnitures of poor quality could be better. but the location is great and the breakfast ok.

The area surrounding was amazing, canals, shopping center, old town area was worth exploring. Late night/early morning returning from Amsterdam there were some questionable people about making it feel unsafe if coming back alone. I parked street side less than 2min walk on an EV charger spot where I just had to pay for charging car and not parking. But the receptionist (at the property cafe) said that there is no need to pay for parking between 2100 and 0900 hours.

Noisy room

Booked a suit for one night in order to visit this beautiful city. Desk staff were delightful although they did initially give us the key to someone else’s room! Our suit was large, ornate and spacious but at the end of the building next to the busy main road, there was no A/C so one must choose between noise with windows open or a hot stuffy room. Furthermore, there was no wardrobe, only a curtain between the room and toilet, very dim lighting in the bathroom, faulty lighting above the mirror and thick hard pillows, they also charge for the use of an iron!!

2/10 Poor

They let me check in early but was impossible to checkout after I saw what I had gotten myself into. The Upside was that I had a 9 bunk bed unit all to myself, no windows and just very creepy dark place right by the staff entrance, laundry, and late night guest access which meant no chance of sleep, expect to get the door knocked on late at nights by somebody who has had one too many and doesn't know where to go (in one instance a staff member just barging in assuming room was empty and perhaps going to crash there). Surrounding area was beautiful to walk to. My reservation was for more than two weeks but I could only bare one night, at this stage I don't even know if I got refunded for anything but it was more confrontable sleeping in the train station the following night until I found something else. Maybe the more expensive units are better but I was not prepared to find out, very terrible costumer service after they had taken my money, spent weeks trying to get some sort of refund back after front desk had promised to refund my credit card in accordance to their policy of 48 hrs notice which meant I would only pay for two nights. after checking out and getting in contact to access the funds the only option they gave me was a gift card to go back to the same place, just a waste, might as well slapped me too. Just terrible, spend a little more and have a nice time in the lovely area or just sleep in the train station as I promise it will be more comfortable.
