Hostels in Europe

I've decided to compile a list of hostels I stayed at in Europe along with some comments.



Amsterdam
Hostel: Stayokay Vondelpark
Room: 20 Bed Dorm - Female only (Private bathroom). Yes 20 people in a room but it was very spacious and I didn't feel that it was noisy at all. One cupboard for you to store your stuff. Locks not provided.
Location: it's very near the I AMSTERDAM sign and not thaaaat far from the city center. But distance is subjective, I think it takes at least 15 minutes on foot to get to the center? Not a problem for me because I enjoy walking.
Breakfast: the best breakfast I had in a hostel. Different types of bread, ham, cheese, cereal, fruits(!!), yogurt, fruit juice, coffee/tea.
Kitchen: None
Overall comments: Felt like a school dormitory, very clean and bright.

Berlin
Hostel: ONE80 Hostel.
Room: 8 Bed Dorm - Mixed (Shared bathroom). Everyone gets a cupboard and a metal cage below the bed to store your stuff. Locks not provided.
Location: located very near Alexanderplatz station so it's quite easy to get around.
Breakfast: No breakfast
Kitchen: None
Overall comments: Clean, looked and felt a lot like a hotel.
