Youth Hostel Meetingpoint is great for one reason -- location. It's about a four minute walk from the train station, which is key when you have a big backpack strapped to you. It's also only a few minutes away from the Red Light District. There are restaurants all over the area, and of course, "coffeeshops." There's even a "smart shop" next door and an EasyInternet Cafe a minute or two away.
Downstairs there is a great little bar area where you can hang out, play some cards, and "relax" Amsterdam style. Very chill. On the negative side, the area is loud. If your room faces the street, you'll definitely hear people until all hours -- the perils of being close to the Red Light. Also, the dorm rooms aren't particularly nice, with twelve beds all crammed into one room. It's very tight and uncomfortable.
They do offer lockers in the form of barrels, which are all over the place. It's a good idea, but it gives the place an odd look. Certainly not a "classy" looking Hostel. And the place doesn't smell great, and the bathrooms aren't the nicest...
Basically, this is a great party hostel. If you want to go out late in Amsterdam, come back to the hostel and pass out, this is the place for you. If you want something a little nicer, cleaner, or quieter, this is not the place.
