Good breakfast, clean rooms. Staff were knowledgeable but varied from nice/friendly to snappy/rude. Bathrooms/showers were very clean-- no flip flops needed! Rooms were nice, linen better than my dorm's (including the blanket!). Only complaints are that the wifi does not reach the rooms (you can get them in hallways/common room) and that the metal cage bins under each bunk bed was not able to be locked. Location is average-- pretty much all the hostels were located around the parts.

Average the word, not clean but not dirty, not lots of character but not devoid of it either. Some of the staff were friendly others not so much, just in general an OK place to stay and if its your cheapest option I would recommend it.

I liked the small cosy seating areas on each floor but a big nice room, like living room, is missing.

Didn't really know what to expect because it was so cheap, but really enjoyed the stay. Room was very clean, bathroom was great, no problem with the shower. People at the desk were very helpful, and the breakfast had many more options than I was expecting. You have no problem getting to the city center in ten minutes, and it's an enjoyable walk. Nothing to really complain about!

There are no safety deposit boxes/lockers in the rooms. The room I was in had one bathroom for 10 people located in the middle of the room. The light in the bathroom buzzed extremely loudly and the shower was in the same room as the toilet so you had to wait for long periods of time to use the bathroom. The breakfast that was included was just cereal. Many parts of the hostel smelled weird and some of the bathrooms had mold growing in the corners. The location is considered unsafe by locals.

The first time walking in, the Hostel seems like a Labyrinth, but decent labelling along all the hallways succeed compensation. Nice staff, clean rooms, and the best breakfast of all Hostels I´ve seen so far!

The hostel was in a nice location and the staff were awesome, but I don't think I would return to this hostel because of cleanliness. The sheets they gave out had people's hair on it and the floor and sheets had stains on it.

Bad hostel


100%

All of the staff was amazing! The hostel was in a great location and the staff was also very informative about how to get around the city. The security was perfect, the whole buzzing and leaving the key at the desk is a great idea and eliminates any tresspassers. I enjoyed the hostel :)

The hostel itself is great. Great dorms, clean bathroom, great big kitchen, spots to hang out,...But, the WIFI does NOT work well outside the loby (and then again...very slow), the kitchen and all the rest of the hostel is VERY noisy...the steps are very loud when people take them and we had a bad experience at night trying to sleep and people kicking in our door for fun and yelling some stuff (...there is no staff aywhere other than at the reception which is very far).. Oh and big breakfast!yum

It's a fine hostel, but I should mention that someone stole my clothes/toiletries while I was out for the day and the staff didn't have a clue. They even stripped my bed for no apparent reason. I know, I know, I signed a waiver saying they're not responsible for my things, but something was off about this. None of the things taken we remotely valuable, which makes it seem like the staff disposed of them and stripped my bed, deciding I must have checked out two days early. Just bizarre.

For the price, it's above average. Rooms, toilets and showers are comfortable. There are many common areas with wifi and you can also cook. The main problem is the reception staff, they are rude and you have to ask them to open the doors to come in, and you cannot take the hostel key outside the building. I think the place is a maze and the signs are confusing, so you can get lost inside. But its a good place to stay a couple of nights and it's close to city centre.

We spent a very nice week end in your hostel, everything was perferct and the employees have reacted very fast to all our request. The only problem we have had was a housekeeper coming in our room, without knocking at the door, and did not go out when she saw I was just in under-wear.
