Fantastic place to stay. Great place to meet and talk to other travelers, but still quiet enough to sleep soundly at night. Staff is absolutely amazing and knowledgeable.

Had a good time at this hostel. It is pretty laid back and easy to meet others. The beds were very firm but the pillows and duvet were nice. WiFi worked well. Breakfast was good but kinda pricey. Staff was nice. The outlets in the lockers are awesome...

WiFi had a lot of problems while I was there and you have to pay (!!) to use the computers with internet. Staff wasn´t very friendly and more busy with themselves than to answer any of your questions. Lockers with power outlet where great, allthough a couple of them where impossible to open or close in our room. I only found one shower, which I think is not a lot for the amount of people sharing it. Also it was the most dirty shower I came across during 6 months of travel and was not cleaned.

Loved the lockers! So nice to be able to lock up all my stuff, and was really clever that they had lights and plug points inside. Then I could charge my stuff without worrying. Some of the staff were really helpful, whereas others seemed rather uninterested.

The dorms smelled really bad but the staff gave to me a privat room and it was excellent!!

You have to pay for the internet at this hostel, the first time I've seen that in 3 months and 23 other hostels -UNFORGIVABLE!! Also, there's no breakfast and they need to oil the hinges on all the doors and lockers, you can wake up half the hostel just trying to get in your locker!

more showers needed! only 4 (?) across the whole hostel i think? Although not as bad as it could have been, due to people having changeable routines!

I loved your little features llike the llight on the bed and the electricity in the lockers. One thing I would have liked is more hooks in the bathrooms. I really enjoyed your hostel. Thanks!

Great vibe, location and facilities. For the price it would be nice if breakfast was included. Also, it gets very cold in the room and it would be nice if a small heater etc was provided.
