Great place, a lot of fun. Kitchen was a little messy, in fact everything was a little messy, while I was there but it was fine for me, it was no worse then my college dorm. The staff was amazing, Super friendly. A little bit out of the way but metro makes it pretty easy to get around.

The Hostel is good! Rooms are big and clean, the bathroom has hot water , there is a kitchen and bus stop nearby. They charge 5 euros per day for linens so remember to add this value to the total amount. People staying there were creepy, but still cheap.

the staff were very helpful and nice. but the place smelled like cigarettes most of the time. we also felt like the place was constantly occupied by a bit dodgy characters... you get what you pay for!

* The beds are terrible * The family of the owner of this hostel is living there and they tell you what you must do or not. * Like mostly hostels in Italy , when you arrive you have to pay extra fees that are not included in the price. * This hostel was built in a big apartment or something like , very far from the city center. My tip for this hostel is , try to avoid in any case.

We were too afraid to even enter the hotel due to the dodgy neighbourhood and the hostel's shabby appearance. Nowhere near the city centre...

This place is not for the light hearted. It's WAY out of the city and the neighbourhood doesn't feel particularly safe. When you enter it feels like you heading into someone apartment. There are no signs, it's just a buzzer that says "star". The owner is very friendly and accommodating but possibly a little too much so. The other staff were all quite weird. The bed was comfortable but no cover on the doona and light from reception poured into the room all night. Wouldn't stay there ever again!

Awful. The staff were unprofessional. They were shouting in the night, smoking all night at reception which got into my bed room, not accepting self properties despite there's no locker, being generally rude etc. Definitely not recommended for girls! Well, maybe good for smokers since you can smoke in the lobby/eating space.. The location is quite poor, so I do not see any point at staying at this accommodation again.
