So, I'm leaving for Europe next Friday and I STILL haven't booked my first two nights, which happen to be in Amsterdam. I was all set to book at Hostel Cosmos, because it seemed rather inexpensive, the pictures looked relatively clean and on a number of sites held reviews that were really quite strong (including this site). However, the other night, as I was just about to book, I came across a bunch of reviews that mentioned bed bugs. The funny thing was that it was only on that one site. With the reviews being so dated, how trustworthy are they?
I'm just really disappointed because it seemed like Hostel Cosmos seemed to have nice character and all of the amenities that I was looking for.
Does anyone have any websites that have really good, detailed, recent reviews on hostels? As of this moment, I'm looking at the International Budget Hostel and maybe even doubling my housing expenses for the night and staying at the Crown. Input anyone?
ZEN!!!

Not sure about hostels, but I've stayed at Hotel Aspen www.hotelaspen.nland thought it was pretty good (lots of stairs - in case that's an issue) - but it's not a party place or anything like that. So if you can't figure out the hostel situation it might be somewhere to keep in mind. It's quite close to the square.
