") the hostel is clean and has decent enough lockers in the rooms although you need your own padlock (which can be bought a reception), there is a bar, a pool table, internet access and vending machines for drinks + snacks in the lobby area if you can endure bad cheesy pop/dance music, overall decent enough hostel worth considering for your stay in amsterdam." — source Hostelworld
