Good hostel - good value. Spartan kitchen and could do with a bit more in the way of staff/cleaners, but it was a clean, decent space with comfy beds and a nice friendly vibe.

Excellent value for money: a real hidden gem in downtown rotterdam! Clean room / pod, a good night rest and flexible check-in time. I don’t need more.

Good location. Friendly and efficiency staffs. Small but well functioned kitchen. Toilets and showers are always clean. It will be really perfect if the temperature of shower water can be 2-3 degrees higher.

The hostel is clean and tidy. The rooms are spacious and quiet. The only problem is the kitchenette which is too small and almost always has a line of guests waiting to use it.

I was quite amazed how good the hostel was, as I did not expect much for the price I paid. This is a brand newly opened hostel, so the rooms are really like pictures! Showers and toilets are clean enough. They have an elevator from the reception, first few steps to reception are stairs only. Downstairs there is a communal place with shared kitchen, simple but effective for a quick meal.

Great location. Shared community room, sometimes you need to wait before the kitchen is free. Elevator is accessible from reception, but to get there are couple of stair steps to overcome first. Rest fine.

One of the best hostel in Europe. Good location, Clean, Quiet, Awesome Staffs. With a mini kitchen which works well; with more-than-enough toilets and showers, which are all very very clean; with really good staffs who keep handling all the situations from some weird guests so hard, which make the whole place stay peace and harmonic. And, really very good price, totally worth, I had very pleasant stay for 9 nights. Special thanks to Mo and OG(萵苣), good job, you're the best. Will definitely recommend to anyone and I will be back again.

Location is just across the subway, very convenient! I slept great in the pods. Ofcourse there is some sound around you, as it is a hostel, but the pod is quite good in filtering the sound.The personnel is friendly, we could leave our luggage at check out so we could have a Korean lunch at POCHA next to the hostel. Great stay, recommended for solo traveler or a group of friends.

I have never slept in a pod before, but it was really quite comfortable. You had your own cubicle with a curtain for privacy. Room and bed were clean. There were enough toilets and showers. So I was positive surprised. I was with one friend, but if you are with more I would recommend to get a smaller room where you can all sleep together. Personnel was friendly, a no nonsense hostel. And ofcourse the best plus point is that you are literally one doorstep away from the subway and tram public transport.

It was loud and hot inside the bunk. I couldn’t sleep through the night. The room also smelled of old wet sweaty towel.

Not a terrible idea staying there for a couple of nights, but after that it would be little uncomfortable to share spaces with so many people especially those who throw their luggage in the corridor. Everything else.. you get what you pay.

It wasn't bad for a cheap hostel, it was rather dirty, especially the common area, and there was no respect for quietness either in the common area or in the sleeping area, with people blaring music, phone calls. People were washing their clothes in the bathroom sinks. The beds themselves are also rather strange to enter. You aren't near any convenient public transport.
I did not receive a towel either, and the showers are very low quality, unable to get hot water, or to have the water pour for longer than a couple seconds at a time.
The Area around the property wasn't the greatest. While you were near a touristy area, there was also a lot of suspicious people walking around. In the evening and at night there was obvious street racing, and non-stop motorcycle revving.
For the Price, I got what I expected, but do not expect more than that.
