It was great again! Top location, inside it looks playful and light. Rooms are good!
Our regular room had changed in layout ... Even a nicer room!! And don't forget the staff .... they are very nice and helpful!
Next time my boyfriend and I will definitely book here again!
The whole place was very clean. I saw them cleaning often. The vibe was vibrant and lively, yet I was also able to work quietly when needed. The staff was friendly. The signature burger was so delicious, better than the burgers I had from other cafes. The washing machines & driers were easy to use. The surrounding area was lovely. It wasn’t far from the station. I stayed there the whole time when I was in the Netherlands. I caught the train to other touristy places, such as Keukenhof, Rotterdam, etc. I would recommend Via.
The staffs are very helpful and the cafe inside the hostel is pretty good, the location is very near the tram station and bus station, it is very suitable for backpackers!

Good location and service!
The staffs are very friendly and willing to help. The hotel is well-decorated and good design.
Everything is very clean and well managed. The bathrooms are huge and toilets are comfy.
They provided the shampoo and shower gel from Marie Stella Maris. Very nice!
We got our free coffee and tea in the morning, I was surprised that the staff brew it for us but not on self service side, it was perfect! The free little stroopwafel is really yummy. 😁
We even got a small tote bag as souvenir. 😚
The towels are all very clean and soft.
Just abit surprising that the luggage storage room is actually a garbage room. It was funny but thats okay.
I would definitely comeback next time when I visit Ams again! 😘
Checked into the hotel 2 days before King's Day, the price should be doubled. The first time I stayed in the youth hostel, the comments are as follows: 1) The location is OK, about 600 meters walking distance from the train station, it is convenient to take the train to Uchterle and Amsterdam Central Station, and you can go to Uchterle for dinner; 2) The toilet, bathroom, and restaurant are all hygienic, but there are piles of tableware in the kitchen sink; 3) Room: The bedding is OK, but I will be woken up by roommates who come back late at night. The luggage box has no lock and needs to be purchased at the front desk for 3.5 euros; 4) There is always a waiter at the front desk. When checking in, you need to call the front desk to open the door. I didn't receive the password email, which is inconvenient for foreign tourists.
Everything was great, i will come back next time, there was free drink when i checked in and checked out and a cute little gift, the place was very clean and the location was convenient to get around.

Super great hostel! Loved it very much. The location of the hostel is really convenient and you could basically go to major attractions in Amsterdam by walking for a few minutes like the ******************, the Dam square and more importantly the Central station.
Though it is a large room that has quite a number of residents, everyone respected each other’s privacy and they did not make loud noises.
The receptionists were super nice and helpful and they spoke good English.
I would definitely recommend this place to y’all.
If you are looking for a very easy access bar and good time then this place can be great for you. As for the night it is a bit loud due to there being a bar below with activities. The beds/room were everything you would expect from a hostel, the experience will vary depending on the guests there with you.
When the room is ready, staff allow me for early check in and there’s always staffs to clean the toilet and bathroom to maintain good hygiene. I would recommend those who are travelling alone to choose this hostel
Very good hostel, next to the park, very quiet, beautifully decorated, very hygienic, with slats at the head of the bed, and very private. I have stayed in the hostel many times and this is the most satisfying one.
Very Good

GGuest UserLocation: it's a great location because it's only a less than 10 minute walk from the Amsterdam Central station. It's so convenient. But the hostel entrance/reception is located inside a pub/restaurant. Personally I have no problem with this. I just find this interesting. There was also a security-looking guy standing at the entrance at night every day too, so it was pretty safe.
Cleanliness: it was very clean. Every day someone took out the trash and cleaned the bathroom for us, which I didn't expect. They gave us a new, clean towel every day too. I really like these things about the hostel.
Service: It depends on who you meet. The ladies that I talked to were all friendly and helpful. But there was a guy that was rather unhelpful and rude. I asked, ”Do you have data sim cards?” He said, ”No, we don't provide for that.” (Of course I knew the hostel didn't provide sim cards for free; I was asking if the hostel *sells* sim cards.) I asked, ”Do you know where I can get one? I can't get on the internet with the hostel wifi.” He said, ”There's no problem with the hostel wifi, otherwise a lot of people would be complaining about it.” (I wasn't complaining about the hostel wifi wasn't working; I was asking if he knew where I could get a sim card since I couldn't get on the internet to look for them.)
Facilities: I like that there was a curtain on each bed. The bed and the room were also spacious enough. The windows were almost soundproof, isolating all the noises from the people drinking downstairs. The bathroom was also very clean. The only thing I didn't like was that there were brown stains on the blanket, which looked disgusting. There was also space for luggages (it's on the 2nd floor) if you don't want to store them in your room. There was, however, no kitchen or common areas. But the room was big enough and had a table. It was ok for me.
One thing I really didn't like were the people who stayed in my room. All of them were obnoxious: wouldn't clean up after using the bathroom (hair everywhere), leaving their stuff in the bathroom/on the table so others couldn't use the space/table, kept coughing all night (meaning they were sick) and wouldn't open the windows for ventilation. I hardly had a good night's sleep because they kept coughing at night. But this wasn't the hostel's fault. It's those people's problems.
All in all, I recommend staying at this hotel.
AAnonymous UserExtremely disappointing experience.
The room was messy and poorly maintained from the start — dirty floors, clothes and trash everywhere, and absolutely no sense of hygiene. My roommates were loud and inconsiderate, making it impossible to rest. I requested a room change, but staff said all rooms were full.
I haven’t had a proper night’s sleep in two days, and it completely ruined my trip. Definitely not worth the money, and I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean or peaceful stay.
GGuest UserEverything was great, i will come back next time, there was free drink when i checked in and checked out and a cute little gift, the place was very clean and the location was convenient to get around.
BB K ChakaI had a great experience staying at Generator Amsterdam! The hostel is stylish, clean, and well-located, with friendly staff and a vibrant atmosphere. Everything from the shared spaces to the rooms was well-maintained. The only downside was that they don’t accept cash, something I wasn’t aware of beforehand. It would’ve been helpful to know in advance. Otherwise, a fantastic stay!
LLizzi BrownThe hostel is in a good location out of the centre, it's an easy tram ride in to Centraal with very frequent trams.
You get what you pay for, it's cheap and cheerful but very good value for budget accomodation just a short trip from Amsterdam city centre.
The beds were very comfortable, the room was larger than expected and very airy as we were in an attic room and all the windows opened.
The stairs were a bit treacherous, very steep and winding but a nice feature of an old traditional building.
The showers and facilities were fine, kept clean by other travellers and staff and the kitchen was fine too.
I would definitely stay here again for cheap, reasonable accommodation.
