If you’re looking for a hostel near the centre or train station, Shelter Jordaan Hostel is not it. It takes you more than fifteen minutes to get there by walking. It's not easy to find because you need to go through several canals. When you reach the street, you must walk to the end of the street -- it's such a long way.
The hostel is a Christian hostel. There's some writing on the wall about Jesus. Someone may ask if you're interested for a chat about Jesus. If you want to party at the hostel, this isn’t the place -- it's quiet and people don't even talk loud.
There's a snack bar, but they don't sell alcohol. They provide free breakfast -- two choices. You can have dinner there, too. It's quite cheap compared with the restaurant outside. There is a piano at the snack bar.
The dorm is quite big and they provide lockers and a hair dryer. However, the bathroom is quite small. They separate the dorms by gender on different floors. Basically it's clean there.
