This hostel made you feel very much at home and if you want your exercise this place is for you :) There are a number of stairs to descend or to climb up to reach the hostel. But it was an amazing place to stay with a very friendly and positive atmosphere!

The hostel is located in a hidden alley up a picturesque ladder, which is sort of cool, but I don't know how long would it take me to find it if I didn't have GPS on my phone. That said, this is one of the nicest hostels I've stayed at. I'll give 10 points to the new, clean, good-looking bathrooms and kitchen - felt like a real house, not a hostel.

We stayed in the apartment. It was very well located, close to the old town, with restaurants and shops within walking distance. The apartment itself was clean and well equiped, but I wouldn't spend my time there during the day as it is quite dark. The bed is very creaky and could do with being replaced. Other than that the service was excellent, I would stay there again.

beautiful modern hostel renovated a few years ago. as the name would lead you to think you have quite a few steps to climb so bring a backpack not a rolling suitcase.

maybe you could give a better description to your hostel, we walked really long in the rain stairs up and down before we found it. and then was nobody of the staff there to let us in! it would also be nice if we could use the lockers with our own lock. and if we have been guest there for 4 day and want to leave out luggage in the house before our flight leaves in the evening, is'nt that self-evident?!

The hostel is really good and well organized, the only problem in my opinion was the location... It is far and you really have STEPs to get in it.... but for the price it is worth! I recommend!

We booked a hostel with breakfast, but getting there, after the down-payment was made, they notified us that there is no breakfast, that is their new policy. If going out to get breakfast, the stay goes at least 6-7 Euros more expensive. Secondly, they charge 2 Euros for towel (not refunded!) and additional 2 Euros for a small locker! So the whole stay for us went more then 10 Euros more costly when we thought. The staff wasn`t very helpful, but the house was clean and location rather good.

Un Hostel barato y que está bastante bien. Es pequeño pero hay de todo. Los baños estan bien, y las habitaciones también. Cerca hay sitios para comer barato. Lo peor son las escaleras que hay que subir o bajar, que tampoco son para tanto si realmente quieres una estancia barata. Igualmente si tienes que volver andando por la noche. Si no te importa andar, y quieres un hostel sencillo y en un sitio MUY tranquilo, esta es la mejor opción.

This is the best hostel that I\'ve ever been. Real eye candy! The breakfast is really good (fresh bread, cereal, coffee...) And the value, is the most I\'ve gotten for my money. Is really well located, real close to the city center but won\'t do for people with knee problems o any leg problems since there is a major staircase to get to it. But once you\'re there, you won\'t regret it. I highly recommended it... Best time ever!

I was very surprised by the whole lot of the hostel, the commodities and the cleaness. You may think the location isn't ideal at first, but is full of charm, is 2 steps from everywhere, and as quiet as it can get. Nevertheless, keep in mind you have to go up many stairs, so beware of going there with a very heavy suitcase (unless you come from up the hill down). Breakfast was complete and all you can eat. All in all, it sure is one of the best hostels i've ever been to. Quality-price, the best.

Nice and cheap hostel. Great breakfast, nice kitchen, great internet conection, very clean and warm. Not very well located and the rooms have problems with the humidity. I think they definitely have to do something with that, the rest is ok.

It actually doesnt look like a hostel. It seems to be a normal house and the owner decided to make it a hostel. The rooms are wonderfull as the beds. the toilettes are the best and cleanest ever seen and the kitchen is a full kitchen, very nice to use. there is a breakfast and WIFI. I would definitely come back
