Staff were ok, not much security tbh as anyone could really walk in, the bar area is very good, bedrooms try an opt for an apartment as there much better, we stayed in a 4 persons private which was clean, good pillows and clean towels etc. Best location.

It's was a great abode! It's three in one: a bar, coffee shop and a hostel! We didn't like the lockers. If you are a real traveler, your stuff won't fit in there! Also, they don't provide free padlocks, instead of this, they sell... Compared to others hostels the price is quite high (even for a bedroom with 12 people). We didn't like these parts but overall it worth!

I had a good time staying in this hostel. There was a problem with the light, which a staff could have fixed it without me informing them. But after I told them about it in the morning, they got it fixed by the afternoon before I came back. Thank you about that. There should be an option for female dorm on www.hostelworld.com. There are many women who travel alone and with a female dorm, we just feel more comfortable to stay. My case, my female friend strongly recommended me, so I gave it a try.

I highly recommend this place! The location is just amazing, the rooms are nice and clean, security is good, and the lounge is great to if you just want to chill out and smoke/drink before you head out. I had nothing to complain about this place, which for someone like me is very, very rare!!

Very good. My friend was suppose to travel with me but had to cancel her trip for family reasons. At first I was hesitant to travel alone but, at Bulldog it was easy to meet people. I met the best brasillian and english people :).

The location is great but the staff is not very helpful. The bathrooms are very badly designed because any time you turn on the shower you wet the entire room! The room was not cleaned in four days we stayed there.

This wasn\'t a bad place at all just felt very average after everything was all said and done, especially after I had some more experience with other hostels. This shower was ok and the beds were a little rough. It was close to lots of very fun things and the staff was fairly helpful. They also had a pretty good breakfast included in the price

This was the WORST place we have ever stayed. Staff treated us like annoyances. They also lied to our faces, offering us a refund, then refusing it the next day after we had booked (and paid for) alternate accommodation - costing us 160EU Euros. This hostel is for young men wanting to party. Dorm shared with such guests was extremely uncomfortable, especially for my 22yr old GF who had to listen to them loudly discuss their paid sexual achievements. In dorm WC was dominated by same boys. AWFUL

This hostel was very clean. It was a nice hostel, I just didn't spend much time actually IN the hostel so I have no complaints. Breakfast is free and you get some vouchers/coupons when you arrive which is nice. Location is right in the Red Light District, so if that is where you want to be - it's among the best.
