HI - Stayokay Amsterdam Zeeburg Hostel

Nice hostel
Good points, cleanliness, excellent breakfast, reasonable price, helpful staff, P and R Zeeburg parking lot is not far from the hostel by bus if you come by car. There was a possibility of leaving our luggage if we arrived in the morning and they gave us our cards to enter the room at any time after the check in time (we came back late in the evening). Bad points, the location, although in Amsterdam, you need to take a tram or a bus to get back, which can be a problem if you want to go out late at night. Overall, I would really recommend this hostel, which was also the only one that had reasonable prices and wasn't full around a month before our trip.

Still new -- lots of small problems
I stayed here in Oct '07. I think it had just opened and there was still a lot of work being done on the place -- staff not really ready. They were hiring out the dining/bar area for some sort of exhibition -- which led to a clash of dressed up people at the bar and backpackers getting washing done at midnight. There was a constant droning of air conditioning towers all the time (we were in a dorm on the top floor). And you woke up and came out of bed to look across at office workers in the building across the courtyard. Strange. Not in town but not that far by taxi. It may improve.
