The staff were really friendly and helpful. The hostel is nice, clean and quiet. I'd really enjoy the garden. In one word, i felt like if I was in a vacation house with my friend and friends of my friends. The only bad point I've seen is that the bathroom/toilets is in the room. That means, when you are in a room for 6 and you wake up all at the same time, you will have to wait for having a shower a while...

We had a great time at your hostel, though there were a few bumps we found. 1. The honesty bar wasn't stocked very well. 2. Someone stole our new juice from the communal refrigerator (the only thing we put in the fridge in a week!). 3. The employees were lovely, though they didn't seem very interested in helping you planning your activities and were absent more than present at the desk. 4. You need to have a policy that guests lock the door when leaving their room, it doesn't lock on its own.

Owner Comment (Show)
Dear Ashley, Thank you for taking the time to review Cocomama and hand out some constructive feedback! 1. We'll keep a close watch on this from now on. 2. Sorry to hear that, did you make sure to put your name on it and to not put it on the Left-over shelf? 3. Did you see the bell and the sign where it says were the staff is? Most of the time we are running around to make sure everything is clean and in order, but we are happy to stop this when we know someone needs our attention or information. We actually love planning your activities with you, as we enjoy people having a good time in our city! 4. Good idea, we'll put that in our Check in procedure. Safe travels, Cocomama Crew

If you want to be in a location just outside of the super touristy area, and in a clean safe and charming neighborhood, then this is the place for you. You can still walk to all of the tourist attractions, but you get a little more feel for the local culture staying here as opposed to the middle of tourist central. This was such an awesome choice, and i would recomend it to anyone!

Traveling around Europe for 6 weeks and this has, hands down been the best place we have stayed so far. The location is awesome, very quiet at night and not far from downtown. When you get there, one of the staff greets you and gives you all the information you will need. They are all very nice and very helpful. This hostel has a very cozy feel to it as well. The beds are incredibly comfy. They don't serve breakfast, but they have a kitchen where you are free to cook. Awesome place. Stay here!

My husband and I really enjoyed staying at CocoMama. Everyone was super friendly and our room was in great condition. We rented the private en suite and it was by far the best room I've ever had in a hostel. I recommend this to anyone, especially a couple. It was decorated very well and the mattress was unbelievably comfortable. It was about a 25 minute walk to Red Light, so I would strongly recommend getting familiar with the rail cars. Your feet will appreciate it. Thumbs Up, We will Be Back!

Very nice. The owner is very dedicated to her hostel. The best kitchen I seen in any hostel. The only comment is that the activity at night don't always happen, so if you are travailing alone do not count on them to meet new people. But otherwise 100% recommendation!!

The bed is rather comfortable and little wider than the average. The kitchen/living room is well decorated with a outdoors garden.The really nice thing of this hostel is that they stop partying at 12:00 at night so there will not be much noise after midnight. However, if you are a early sleeper, I would definitely not recommend you live on the ground floor--- the common room is just downstairs and the party noise(before 12 o'clock) makes it hard to fall asleep.

Fantastic hostel with lovely and helpful staff. Nice room and ensuite, with shower bigger than I've had in some hotels. Great communal kitchen and lounge area makes you feel at home. They even supply free rice and pasta for cooking. The cute hostel cat tops it all off! Definitely stay here, you won't regret it.
