Great to put curtains for some privacy. I moved from 14 mixed room to 6 mixed room. The 6 mixed room hs no curtain for privacy. And bed #6 is squeky/noisy. I complained about it and said they cant do anything

My review of the staff is not at 5 smiles only because I have yet to interact with any. They seem lovely! This hostel is amazing.. incrediblely clean and secure. Great facilities, excellent space and room to hang out as well as cozy feel. I am a huge fan of their eco friendly and swan certification. Will definitely stay here again!

Excellent hostel, very relaxed. As a trans person I felt very comfortable in the mixed dorm, and there were no rudeness or issues!
