Good location, staff was helpful. Seemed safe, even in red light district. Not very fun however, but that was expected with a christian hostel

its a good hostel for some if you don't mind to drinking alcohol in the hostel, or to smoking marihuana in the garden.. all the other thinks its ok maybe little more attention in the cleanliness...

 xavisk8_ftp4597 from Spain stayed here on 06th March 2010
This hotel is nice if you are a Christian boy, who is going to Amsterdam to see the city. But if what you want is to amuse yourself, and to feel well with your friends do not think about the possibility of going to the Shelter City. The receptionists are the worst that I have seen in my life, though not all, it is necessary to say that some recepcionist was nice,the direction of the hotel has a thought on the relation man - woman of,as minimum,the age of stone.In conclusion,a big disappointment

I was apprehensive about my first hostel stay and Shelter City made it extremely pleasant. Complimentary breakfast is generous and rooms/bathrooms were clean. Staff went out of their way to offer sightseeing and money-saving tips, and ensure that our stay was comfortable and pleasant.

The hostel was nice and clean, the staff warm and welcoming. I think the Christian emphasis was a bit too much for me, but at times it helped to balance out Amsterdam's lack of virtue... (the hostel is right in the middle of the red light district). The breakfast is great, served hot to order. Bring a lock for the locker otherwise you'll have to buy one. I would definitely stay there again.
