Charming Hostel w/ Character - My New Fave!
Reception during check-in and check-out was super nice—thank you for being so friendly and welcoming! I stayed on the 3rd floor (actually the 4th floor). Although the steep, narrow steps were a mission, they are typical of local architecture and should be seen as a cultural experience rather than a North American "accessibility issue"—if you need an elevator, are obese, or dislike narrow, steep, winding stairs, this place isn't for you. The six-person, three-bunk room felt spacious, and each bed had a locker with a key (10-euro deposit, returned upon return). I had the top bunk facing the window, and the electric socket was a bit far, but it was a minor inconvenience. The bed was clean, and the sheets were fresh. The shower was hot, especially nice after walking in the rain. The washroom door didn't have much space when opened and was close to my knees when sitting on the toilet—a potential issue for anyone 170 cm (5'7") or taller. I shared the room with five other lads who were friendly and professional. Overall, a proper hostel experience. I usually stay at the Heart of Amsterdam for its proximity to RDL and Centraal, but Hotel Jesse is now my new favourite!

Oda çok küçük ve havasızdı. Tuvalette rahatsız edici bir koku vardı. Manzara ve merkezi olması avantajdı.

Owner wanted cash only and coincidentally my cards wouldn’t work in the machine until I insisted it was her issue not my card. Felt like a scam. Cramped rooms. Not that clean. Really steep stairs.

Not bike backpacker friendly, arrived for my first night in Holland and was told off by staff for having my bike next to the hostel with no nearby parking. Breakfast menu posted all throughout lobby but no breakfast available.

Actually the worst place we’ve ever stayed. No space with 120 sqft room shared by 4 with bags. Rude staff. Paid for 2 nights, left after 1. Not sure why it has “hotel” in name- it is a hostel. Loud walking in floor above us until 2am. Look elsewhere for better value.

Good value for money for one night stand.
Just one night stay, old city is just in a minute walk 6 persons in a small room, so for one night it is OK no lift, big case for the 4th floor can be a challenge. good internet. Reception is closed from 10 PM, so send them message in advance if you come later for check in.

Mevlana is a real underrated hostel in the heart of Amsterdam. The staff are kind and considerate and not pushy at all. I was thoroughly impressed with the work that they had done to ensure cleanliness and hygiene was number one priority
