I am currently here staying in a room for 6 women. The only good thing is the location, the bathroom is very small, the toilet looks like a children's toilet, I don't know if someone overweight can go in there. All the water comes out of the shower. I can hear all the noises from the next room. In the hostelworld description it says that it has towels, kitchen, common areas. The only thing it has is a terrace above and a pub next to it. It seems like false advertising to me, if I had known I would never have stayed here. I only recommend it if all you want to do in Amsterdam is get high, as that's what it seems perfect for. The description also said that each bunk had its lamp which is not true, and it means that when you get up early or are in the dark so as not to disturb the rest or wake everyone up. I'll take this place!!
