Amsterdam Hostel Sarphati Reviews

Especially very kind staff. Spacious room. Clean toilet. Strongly recommend. 24hour open reception. Not noisy.

Hostel wasn't too bad. Could do with a bit of paint.Tiny ensuite shower/wc not enough for dorm with 12 beds. Kitchen was clean but missing teatowels. Staff friendly and helpful. It's a really dutch house ,that means steep and narrow stairs. Location in a nice part of town, where locals live, has nice and lots of places to eat etc. Enjoyed my stay there

No privacy, no storage or secured space, feels unsafe with the shared rooms. Stairs make a difficult time if big suitcase or elderly.

It was awful, super awful!!! the room smelled very bad. the shower didn't work. and finally they charged me more than my booking price.

Staff is friendly, but for the rest it is very poor. Beds are too short, no safe, and you are often in a too small room with 12 people. There is a kitchen and microwave.

Hotel is in the Friendly zone. It is important that there is a window in the room. Internet is good. The location is very convenient (center) Towels are paid, hygiene products are not provided. There is a park nearby. It is possible to stay for 1 night no more.

It's cheap, but you can't enter after 12 o'clock.

Very nice place, the guys at the reception are very attentive and have an excellent service attitude

It's quite cheap and the accommodation is okay. The service staff are very patient. I bought it in the evening when the price would be very cheap

Three bunk room

Kind and polite staff always willing to help and solve any doubt; once I came everything was as it’s shown on the pictures and had no problems with the stay; the location is perfect since it’s in one of the most emblematic neighborhoods, accessible to pretty much everything.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GO. They cancelled my booking randomly. Terrible experience. Do not recommend. Incredibly unprofessional. Would recommend it for absolutely no one. Save yourself the trouble and find something else.

I stayed in the 14 bed room and it stank. The room is way too small to host 14 people, there is a foul odour in the corridors which comes from the bedrooms. There are no lockers, but the staff do have a room where they can keep your belongings near the reception and number your bag and give you the ticket for when you collect. Thankfully, the room I stayed in had a working window as I had previously seen in reviews people sharing there wasn’t one. There is a can of air freshener in every bathroom which is a godsend if you’re staying as you’ll want to spray it all over the room! The location of the hostel is perfect, opposite a nice park and surrounded by shops and restaurants. The staff do provide coffee and tea in the kitchen every morning. Finally, there is only one bathroom in each room, where the shower is also located, so it can be a competition trying to get ready and get out in the morning as everyone is wanting to use it at once!

The most disgusting and disappointing hostel I have ever stayed in. Would not recommend to anyone, not even travellers on a budget. We stayed here on the last few nights of our 2 months travelling and this was by far the worst hostel we have seen, terrible way to end our holiday. Sheets were unclean and stained, window in room was broken, heating was extremely hot at night it was unbearable, no room for luggage or even a locker, too many people crammed into tiny rooms that smelt terrible, bathrooms were not cleaned and were unacceptable. Staff are aware of issues but no one seems to care enough to do anything. Pathetic excuse for a hostel.
