I knew what I was signing up for when I booked this hostel. I booked a single room. Check-in was easy, staff are friendly and the booking information explains the whole process which isn’t that complex.The room itself was fine. basic. very basic. with a sink in the corner and a view of the main street. I was there on a very hot day and there isn’t any aircon so that was a bit rough. The friendly housekeeping added a fan after night one which made the experience slightly better.The location is great. Everything is walkable. I walked from the station straight to the hostel and then across Amsterdam to all the sights.Just be aware: You are above a Dutch coffee shop so the air is always filled with the smell of weed 🌱, the staircase is super tight as my photos show, so big suitcases, or if you’re afraid of steep stairs (this isn’t the place) and the bathroom is shared per floor. The toilet was really gross but that’s blamed on other guests who didn’t clean up after themselves. The fan didn’t really work so the shower and toilet which are tightly squeezed into the same room, are always very hot. The water pressure was very low too. I didn’t enjoy the bathroom 🚽 and this could really be improved.*******if you found my review helpful in deciding on whether to stay at Utopia Hostel, please let me know by giving this review a like. Thank you! 🤩

The Hostel was okay, very centrally located. I stayed 4 days.But when I came back on day 3 all my stuff was cleaned up, my clothes were folded and put into a Primark bag (Not mine) and all my receipts and little things on the table were gone, because the cleaning person threw them away! I felt that was creepy af and not cool!! I also still need the receipts that were thrown away, because I was about to get money back for the Amsterdam trip from my employer!

Perfect hostel to spend a few days in the Dutch capital. Typical Amsterdam hostel with small interior but with all amenities within reach. It starts from the coffee shop under the house to the bars along the street. The center is within reach by all means of transport and the central station is 7 minutes away. standing. Advised

Good, it's close to the center and not expensive. But atypical, above a Coffee shop, 7m2 room...It's an experience...

The hostel was good, the service from the workers was good, they stored our bags before check in and that helped us a lot, after check out they did charge us but very little. The only con was the private double room, very small and the beds were the worst we found on our trip, very small and uncomfortable. Otherwise, it was good, good location.
