J’ai aimé la proximité avec l’aéroport (30 min en bus) et les musées (5min à pied). Je n’ai pas aimé le confinement des lits; l’espace restreint dans la chambre. La promiscuité avec les étrangères; qui somme toute; manquent parfois de savoir-vivre. (Sèche cheveux à minuit) Je n’ai pas aimé non plus la douche, minuscule; le jet mural pas pratique pour les toilettes intimes; les minuscules gouttes qui en sortent pour se rincer les cheveux; l’eau trop chaude qui s’arrête toutes les 20 secondes. La lumière toutes les 5 min.
The bed was somehow sleepable but not comfy for sure, only one shower and toilet on a floor, they have all the rule but since they don't know who is doing what, they don't care if followed or not, so other than the price and location, not recomended.

I didn't really like it, the room was so small and we were 4 in it.
Cheapest place in Amsterdam we could find. Their was a reason. Staff were lovely and friendly. Room was tiny. Ensuite was a cupboard. Stairs very steep and thin. No towels in rooms. Needed to buy them if you didn’t bring your own.

As basic as it gets.
This hostel is as basic as it gets. No kitchen, no lounge area, tiny bathrooms and only 3 for the entire place. It's on the 12 tram line which is handy, but don't be expecting big things.
Hi I had a room booked on the 21/06/18-23/06/18 we didn’t make it to the last day as we checked out early because we were disgusted about the room and how we was treated! We turned up on the Thursday 21/06/18 our first day To check in to reception to be told to come back at 5pm for maintenance which is fair enough so we left and came back at 5pm to room 301 that hadn’t been cleaned or sheets changed their was liquid or fluid left on the floor from the last people their it was disgusting! We went to reception to be told that the room will be cleaned at 6pm when we were out so that was fine.
We returned back to room 301 at 3am where the room had still not been cleaned or sheets changed so was forced to sleep with no blankets or sheets as we didn’t want to use dirty sheets! In the morning 22/06/18 we made another complaint at reception and was told the room will be cleaned by 4:30pm and they apologised for the what happened and assured us it would be done to the new agreed time.
When we came back to room 301 at 7pm it had still not been cleaned or sheets changed so me and my friends checked out on the 22/06/18 and didn’t stay for our last day. This place has ruined my Amsterdam experience

Hostel discreto, pero un poco caro
Tiene buena ubicación, la limpieza es en general buena. En mi opinión, no deberián de cobrar por usar los lockers de las habitaciones y se me hace un poco excesivo el precio de las habitaciones
Located close to Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam I am sign, very easy to get into the city centre. Staying in a dorm with 12 beds was fine, they were comfortable and noise was very little. The only downside was that there was only one bathroom (as in one toilet/shower in a room) per floor.

Molto buono
Io ed altri due amici siamo stati per 1 notte all’hotel cosmos e ci siamo trovati molto bene
Pictures was ok when I booked the room but that was not in real. The place is totally different than a room you expected in a hotel. Very small room with noisy beds and not a clean area. Bitten with a bug (not sure if that was bed bug or something else) during stay in this room. Stairs are sucks. Totally not worse the amount I saved with booking this hostel room instead of real Hotel room.
NO LO RESERVEN!!!!
Las habitaciones son minimas y en mal estado, no tienen espacios comunes. HAY PULGAS!!!!!! Podrás ver de noche como ponen en las escaleras veneno.
Estuvimos con 3 amigas en una hab con baño privado, carisimo para lo que es, ni siquiera podes lavarte los dientes porque el tamaño de la bacha es una cargada! Paren mas lejos pero por nada del mundo vayan a COSMOS.
It's a fairly spartan hostel fairly well located for visiting many Amsterdam attractions. It's on a main street so there is a bit of street noise. The stairs are steep and narrow and it's a pain getting luggage up and down. Toilets and showers are few. The rooms are fairly packed with bunk beds. This hostel is the most expensive hostel I have ever had anywhere, but it was the cheapest on expedia. Why is Amsterdam so expensive?

Budget Stay
Good place for a budget stay as it's right near the Museum district, but the room was small and packed with bunk beds and the sheets had a couple stains on them (still clean I'm sure but not exceptional).
