Clean, convenient hostel. It's overpriced through.

It's a combined bar / hotel. The bouncer at the door with a shaved head is a sociopath. Tried to start a fight with me as I politely walked past him to enter the hostel. Telling me he would kill me...all I said was "I am staying here tonight" A real piece of s***

Room was very warm (I was worried I might be cold), the staff was super nice and you get discount at the bar next door and in one of the supermarkets. In general is a very nice hostel (even if it's right next to a strip club and mere feet away from the Red Light District).

The female-only dormitory is on the 3rd floor (total of 12 beds - bunk-bed style, so 6 of these) and the stairs are very steep, so be careful!! The showers aren't great and the shower head appears old and kind goes everywhere. Also, the lockers are crates, so your things aren't exactly hidden away. You can rent a lock&keey from reception (5€ that they'll return when you return the lock&key)

Very welcoming and helpful staff (evening of 19.2.2025). The place is clean and feel very safe (all women dorm). Even if it is in one of the busy touristic street, it is still silent enough in the dorm. The bathroom/shower on the top floor are inside the dorm, so very convenient for privacy and comfort.

Shower head projects the water on the door where you hang your clothes, so, no ideal as it wet your clothes/towel. But quite a minor inconvenience only. Very steep stairs to the dorm floors and very top floor. (Might be tricky to reach with a large suitcase). Very hot at the 4th floor (heating?) But normal temperature once inside the dorm itself (dorm G).

Nelly’s was just perfect for me, the independent female solo tripper - very well located in the centre of Amsterdam I was fortunate to stumble upon the most delightful staff(Notable mentions to all female staff especially upon entering in on Wednesday, sorry I forgot your name:( & the loveliest, sweetest Aoife whom really is a reflection not to mention suits her gorgeous name, perfectly and of course to Orlando and Davide too! Nelly Pros : Genuinely really lovely staff and team dynamic at Nelly’s Amsterdam are sincerely a credit to Amsterdam and the hospitality industry(refreshing to witness). Really comfortable beds with fresh clean linen(white cotton). Hygienically spotlessly clean as can be thanks to the hardworking housekeeping staff. Capsule beds are designed in such an awesome comfortable way that can only enhance sleep & afforded a private enclosed space with the cosy but surprisingly spacious coffin design. Locked metal large capacity basket for bottom bulk beds and lockers in dorm for top bunk beds. Conveniently designed and located night light & adaptor socket in every capsule space. Bathroom facilities were awesomely good and never foul & stinky concentrated urine stench unlike the one experienced in the bar on Wednesday. Staff were extremely accommodating enough to kindly fill my duo hot flask / water bottle up with herbal brew tea bags. Can’t fault anything at all thus you can’t go wrong staying here whilst in Amsterdam 💯✅🇳🇱

The location of the hostel was very nice, near the central station and I can pretty much walk everywhere from the hostel. The only-women room is nice, with separated bathrooms and a WC. Each bed has its own place to put your stuffs in with a locker (can be provided by the reception). Everyone was very kind. And surprisingly, even though the street can be quite busy during the night, in the room you wouldn't hear much noise.

The staircase was a bit too narrow. Since I stayed in the only-women room and it was on the top floor, I did struggle a bit with my suitcase while walking up and downstairs.

The one free shot and discounted drinks throughout the stay was appreciated. Location is good for getting about, it is in the red light district, near the condomerie and next door to a lap dancing bar. The capsules themselves were nice, a few of us in the room figured out the lighting together (it comes on faintly but you have to press and hold for the brightness to increase). Shower rooms were kept clean. We had a decent stay!

Lockers outside the bedroom were a bit inconvenient, just for example if you need something in the night. The heat/fan system wouldn't work for the last day and night, asked the housekeepers to check but they couldn't figure it out either. The lockers for leaving your luggage after checkout are paid for by coins and give no change but also cannot be opened before the time you set, otherwise you must pay again. Space in the room can be very tight, if you and the person opposite are both sat out the end of the bed you're practically touching. Storage for bottom bunks is restricted. The ladders to get in/out of the top bunks are quite difficult. Showers can take a few minutes to heat up. Would be good if they had some food/snacks.

very central location and every where is a quick walk. the property has good facilities all very nice and clean

the noise in the building due to the pub and v busy street. some work such as double glazing and sound proofing can help but the staff always provided the ear plugs which is very helpful. i was living in Room A and the lock kept on getting stuck between ladder and causing a lot of disturbance maybe this can fixed. and they only change sheet’s probably at checkout. but overall its a great place and I will stay here again for sure.

The lights in the room that are motion-detected are amazing. curtains are great for privacy, small shelf in the pods for you to put things. Bathroom and rooms smells lovely. Ensuite shower and sink. AC in room that you can control temperature of. Towels are at a deposit but you can change it whenever.

Saw a comment that curtains don’t completely block out light, but you should be prepared for this when staying at hostels and bring an eye mask anyways. Very little space in the rooms to open luggages/ pull lockers out. Flat sheets were a bit annoying as they don’t cover the bed fully. Take note that the steps leading up to the rooms are steep, narrow, and are exposed on one side.

That i didn't stay there first and I had to leave

Wow—what an incredible stay! I honestly can’t fault a single thing. From the super friendly staff to the cozy, clean accommodation, everything was spot-on. The location? Perfect. Right in the buzzing heart of Amsterdam, with shops, transport, and all the action just steps away. A lovely surprise was the discount package at check-in—such a thoughtful bonus that made exploring even better! Huge shoutout to the entire team for making my stay so memorable. Already counting down the days until I can come back! 💥🇳🇱🙌

Nothing to fault!
