"I appreciate this European hostel chain for its two Amsterdam locations (City West and Amstel) when I want a quiet stay—both are fairly big, laid-back, and not for partying travelers. The beds are soft, the hostels are clean, spacious, and comfortable, and there are lots of outlets to charge electronics; they also offer a fairly decent breakfast, and I tend to choose them when I want a calm, non-partying atmosphere." - Matthew Kepnes
