Excellent location, just few steps away from Nanjing Donglu and all the shops and restaurants. Also 15 minutes walk to the People's Sq and the same to the Bund. The location is really incredible! Staff is very helpful. I stayed in a dorm and found it to be too small for so many beds. In my 6-bed dorm there usually would be 4 beds and not 6. There was no space and felt crowded. Aside from that, bed was very comfortable and everything was clean.

Honestly I expected more atmosphere from a converted 16th century convent. It looks very empty, barebone and I've been in many hostels in converted old buildings to know how good it can be with a little bit of imagination. Also quite difficult to find, not far from Piazza Yenne but in a side street and no signs at all to the hostel. Room was clean and spacious and air-condition is a great plus. Breakfast was so-so but I've seen worse elsewhere. Wifi is not good in the upper floor rooms.

Lets face it - this is a backpacker's place. If you are after a clean and cheap accomodation and in very good location, this is the right place. If you want something more, keep looking. The only negative thing I faced was finding this place on arrival - no signs at all!!!

I probably had the best sleep on my trip here in hostel Marmota. Bed was good, room simple but comfortable, warm and clean. Nice lounge downstairs and a kitchen to cook your meal. Only a bit out of way so if you don't have your own car it might be tricky to get here. And good value for money.

The location is perfect and so is the price. It is clean. I didn't like small windows in the dorm so the air was a bit stuffy at night in the room. Breakfast was very poor even for a hostel standard. When I stayed there, there was a group of school children staying as well and the hostel was too noisy. There were door bangings and yelling even at 7am. Care should be taken not to put school children on the same floor with other guests.

It is a basic but clean accommodation and not too far from the downtown. It takes 20 minutes on foot. Nearby there are some good shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants. Would use this place again!

This hostel is opened only until 11:30pm. There was no info about this in my confirmation e-mail so I came across locked door after a long flight from Europe. Apart from this my stay was perfect and would use this place again. It is just outside SFO and if you have a car it is not difficult to get to the city.

It was a short stay as my late night flight was delayed but I enjoyed sleeping in the jail for the first time in my life :) Nice experience. The only negative thing is human hair that I found on both of my pillows...

I will never again stay in this hostel. As a person who visited 96 countries and stayed in numerous hostels, this one rates as one of the worst. First, quality of bed is so-so. Second, there should be more toilets and showers on each floor because there are too many people and there is a lot of waiting. And they should be cleaner. Third, there should be some free wifi and luggage storage. But the worst was when I requested 30mins extension on check-out, I got a rude reply: "You have 10mins!"...

Good about this hostel is its central location, few mins walk from the old town, and kind and helpfull staff. Apart from that it wasn't a good stay. Beds were uncomfortable and I ended up waking up in the morning with back pain. Sheets were so short that couldn't cover the entire bed while pillows were not quiet clean. The worst of all was the dirtiness of the common area, especially toilets that smelt of urine, and overall throughout the hostel there was a bed smell. I wouldn't stay here again.

We really enjoyed staying in this hostel. It was clean, warm, nice staff, good location just 10mins walk from the old town and with lots of shops and bars nearby. The only minus was the atmosphere - it was so quiet and somewhat boring and other guests didn't feel like mingling. Apart from that, it was great and definitely would stay here again.

I had excellent stay in this hostel right from the check-in until the check-out. The staff was superfriendly, fast and efficacious. You can see that this is a new hostel as everything is extraclean, new beds... Nice kitchen for cooking. Excellent location in the very center of Oslo, just 5mins from the Town Hall and the Port, Oslo Train and Bus Stations, Karl Johans Main Shopping St. Would definitely use this hotel again. Thank you for an excellent stay!

Right in the centre of Akureyri and excellent base for nearby activities. Very clean and warm, comfy bed. And one of the most secure hostels I've been to. Would use this hostel again next time I am in town.

When I arrived to given address, the place was being renovated but they showed me a room and let me in although I arrived at 10am. I felt like being at a construction site and not a hostel. But it will be nice once finished. Also no key for the room. Staff was kind and location excellent, maybe 20mins walk from the main square.

Excellent location on Cerro Alegre colourful 'hood. Clean and quiet. But beds could be more comfortable and a bit overpriced for what you receive.

We are sorry that you think our values are overpriced, but you booked a double room and arrived just with one person.

I'd like to forget that I ever stayed in this hostel. This place was so noisy that I haven't slept for 2 nights I was there. It has paper-thin walls and you could hear people whispering from other rooms,the wooden floors also leave noise and the worst part was the party in a backyard until like 2am-2:30am (although there are signs all around the hostel that no noise should be done after midnight). If you're after the party, come to this hostel. If you want to sleep at all, just find another one.

Dear The house in which you stay, ie this is an old hostel with over 100 years. If they wanted a hotel with concrete walls should have picked one at the moment to see that wood was the typical houses of Puerto Varas. About the party of the night was oragnizada together with all who were staying at the hostel and had the approval of all, you were the one who was not involved which is unfortunate because we try to interact with everyone and that the hostel is small only for 15 people. Anyway thanks for your comment is good for us as we take it with humor ... since the walls are paper ... if not wood. good trip and try best to stay in a five star hotel if your pretensions are so high in construction.

Excellent value for money, good staff and location is just 15mins walk from the centre. The only downside is there are no electricity plugs in any of dorns! This is the first hostel I ever stayed without plugs in dorms. In the modern world where we backpack with cameras, mobile phones and laptops, we have to charge them somewhere. There were several plugs outside, in common areas, but I didn't feel secure to leave my ipad or iphone to charge there overnight.
