I personally feel that the place was comfortable enough, was lucky enough to book one bed with balcony view. The staff been very professional and kind. They could improve on cleansing. Great hostel overall.

It's been a lot of fun. The building is pretty amazing, really enjoyed the chillout zone, loved the colors too. My room was great and the staff's been very easygoing too.

I really liked the building with high ceilings and big windows - great view. The facilities are very well equipped. Location is good, close to public areas.

Hostel was in really good location. Breakfast was not organized...It was not enough food and tables for everyone...Staff was not polite with exception barmen-receptionist(a guy). He gave us information more than we needed ;-) Maybe girls had bad day but still...

It's in a good location though doesn't stand out much due to lack of signage! All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, apart from one woman who was moody and disinterested, we felt scared to ask her for help. Really good free breakfast, big under bed lockers, and they sorted out bike hire for us very quickly. Weird key system of handing them in when you left and having to ask for it on your return, only one key for a 6 bed dorm! Kitchen was ok, bring a lighter!

Quite clean, it's not a hotel but it is very comfortable anyways. The staff is really nice and easygoing. It's located in the city centre close to lots of places to eat.

Wasn't impressed: lots of hair in the bathrooms which were kind of dingy anyway, loud music playing at reception for no reason, receptionist got distracted during my check in and forgot to return my passport so I was frantically looking for it before my international flight when the other receptionist knew it was still at the desk and didn't bother to tell me.

Rented a bike for the day, the staff was really helpful with directions. The city and the weather were great. I'd come back here again.

We stayed for two nights, and found the staff very friendly and helpful. Good location, however our room could have used some paint, and the bikes are in need of some maintenance. Overall I would recommend this hostel, we booked the Che Lagarto Hostel in Buenos Aires through them, and got a 20% discount.

This is a fairly good hostel in a great spot. The rooms were small and a bit crappy and our door couldn't be locked. The internet they have is so damn slow it's not even worth using. The bathrooms are decent but there aren't enough showers for the number of occupants.

This hostel has the potential to be an amazing hostel. We enjoyed our stay here, however found the staff only did what they had to in terms of making you feel welcome and enjoying your stay. Rooms were a good size, clean, bathrooms and kitchen were good. Bar was great but wasn't so rowdy that it kept you up all night. There are bikes for hire (albeit poorly maintained) which was a good way to see the city. The best part of the hostel was the home cooked dinner which is put on for only US$7.

Great location, big spacious private rooms, very helpful staff, terrible shower, no water pressure, awful with long hair! Alzo could do with not having the music blaring at breakfast! But overall, great, and real value for money
