you like sleep in clouds of smoke? if yes this is the hostel for you, people are allowed to smoke in common room and smoke slowly fly into the dorm and stays with you till the morning, so not only you will have all your clothes stinking of smoke (not to mention lungs cancer), but if also your nose is sensitive it will be closed all night preventing you to sleep. I paid 25 euro to get a smoky sleepless night, should I be happy?? come on lets be serious men, go to learn from scandinavian hostels!!

Stairs are a bit of a pain but you get used to it. Internet not always working but there is a Starbucks across the road. You can smoke in the common room which is terrible, the smoke drifts up the stairs and into the rooms, pretty disgusting. Not a lot of room to put your things in the dorms and the lockers are only large enough for valuables. Location could not have been better!

The location couldn't be better. It's really perfect. If you have a big bag you can have problems because of so many stairs. And also the reception closed from 12 to 15 is a problem. But anyway I would stay there again for sure.

They let people smoke in the "hangout" room - not good if you dont smoke, but i guess if you like lung cancer then this place is right up your ally. The hostel didnt suck, but i would def try somewhere else first.

THEY ALLOW SMOKING IN THE \'COMMON ROOM\'! so if you want to see reception or use the internet or just chill out you share the space with a half dozen smokers who seem to have no troubles sharing around lung cancer! Been travelling for 3 months and this was the first hostel ive come ccross like this! For this reason would not stay here agian

The staff were incredibly helpful and enhanced our stay. We enjoyed the hostel. The lobby is smaller and you have to go up many stairs but these were worth it for a lovely hostel.
