I've been to Amsterdam many times this year and each time I come here, I try to stay at a different…read morelocation just to understand the city better. On this visit, I chose Cocomama for part of the trip. Cocomama is close to Fredericksplein, which is the main artery for some hip places you'll want to go. It is near the city centre, but not too close, otherwise it gets tacky. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and helpful. They give you a full tour of the hostel, which was once a brothel. Just my luck... In the basement, there is a nice lounge area with shared kitchen and dining space. Lots of lovely couches to fall asleep on and a beautiful cat to keep you company. There is also a garden and you can go out there from 9AM - 9PM, only cigarette smoking allowed. Tons of books, movies to keep you entertained. You can also play old-school Nintendo. Wow brings back memories. They will also do your laundry for €6. If you don't have a tablet or computer, they can loan you one. Good wifi throughout the hostel. If you arrive before check-in time, you can leave your bag and check-in later, the front desk open 9AM - 9PM. I stayed in a 4 bed coed room aptly named, "The Brothel Room." Beds are comfy and also there are lockers in the room if you need to lock up something. The bathroom is in the room, so not as big of a hassle to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. My only gripe is that they don't serve breakfast. It is probably one of the only places I've stayed at in Amsterdam that doesn't have breakfast. Bummer...

Upon checking in to Coco Mama I was immediately impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and the…read morefriendly staff. The hostel provided a fun environment for our two night stay and we were able to meet people visiting Amsterdam from all over. Unfortunately, the day after we checked out of the hostel my room mate woke up with bed bug bites all over her back and on her face. I understand that this is the risk you take when staying in a hostel, however I always expect for the staff to do thorough examinations of every bed before a new guest checks in. We immediately alerted Coco Mama via email about the bed bug situation. We told them about the time and money that we lost having to dry clean everything we brought into their hostel and asked for them to check the beds we stayed in. I received a response telling me that unfortunately things like this happen in hostels. There was no apology or mention of a partial refund for our stay. I reached out two more times about the situation and inquired about a refund and got no response. I find this to be completely unprofessional and telling of Coco Mama. It's unfortunate that what started out as a great stay ended up costing us time, more money, and a bad case of bed bug bites. I would not recommend staying at this hostel.

This hostel opened up in August of 2016. It is by far the nicest, cleanest, most modern hostel I…read morehave ever stayed at. The lobby area has fast wifi, plenty of seating, and serves food (until 8pm) and drink (until 12am). The lobby is open to anyone so much of the day you will see if filled with students, locals and tourists. It's much more of a casual, mature vibe than you will find at most other hostels. Great place to study or do work on your computer. The rooms are clean and all have their own bathroom inside. The beds are looong (about 6 '10, or 2.1 m length) and comfortable. If you are looking for something similar to The Flying Pig in Amsterdam, this isn't the place for you. Most guests seemed to go to bed relatively early or did their partying elsewhere and just came back to crash.

I was skeptical at first using hostels wondering if they were safe, clean, or easy to use but once I got here my whole perspective changed altogether. The interior is really clean and colorful and all the rooms I have stayed in the past have been as well. The staff are very friendly as well and are always happy to recommend things to do in the area you are staying in.

When the offer on Hostelworld said if you wanted a room alone you had to book all 4 beds. They waited until we got there 2 days later to tell us we would all be split up in several rooms.

If you are debating on where to stay in Amsterdam during your stay, you need to end that debate…read moreright now. This location is right in the heart of all the action, and every major spot to hit within the city is within walking distance or a quick tram ride away. I had never stayed in a hostel before, so I was a bit nervous based on stories from friends in other crowded cities. The check-in process was very easy. I booked through hostelworld and they just needed a passport to verify, then gave me the entrance key, house rules, and directions to my room. I stayed in a co-ed room with about 20 other people. Each bed was in bunk form with clean sheets and pillows with plenty of secure space to keep luggage underneath and an outlet to charge devices on the wall. The showers were clean and I felt like I had privacy while changing as well. The atmosphere at night was awesome. During my first night, I met four people each from a different area of the United States/England and we ended up bar hopping together. What an experience that was! The nightly rates are only a few more bucks than other similar ones, but I can assure you that they do not have the energy like the downtown Flying Pig does!

The atmosphere of the hostel is so relaxing and inviting and the fresh lilacs made everything smell fantastic. Every morning we had a breakfast prepared by the staff and there was an option to have fresh eggs that were absolutely delicious. One complaint, or rather a warning: there's a man who lives above the bar across the street (lovely little local bar, by the way) who kind of just...hates people. He yelled and swore at my friends and I for simply being outside at any time of day, and at one point, he actually dumped a bucket of water out his window onto my friends. I hope this man receives the help he needs but he is extremely rude and bad for business.

The hostel itself is located in Haarlem and is a 2 stop 20 min train ride from the Amsterdam Central station. Haarlem is a great place to stay and has tons to do and see if you just want to have a relaxing day in Haarlem instead of going into Amsterdam. The room I stayed in was for 14 people and had 2 shower, and a separate toilet for everyone to use. There are bike rental available if you want to cycle around town like the natives & even had a musician come in to entertain the guests once a week. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to everyone if you want to have a comfortable stay at a hostel.
