The other guests were really concerning, and I did not feel very safe. Rooms were not the cleanest, and en-suite bath was even worse. Coming from other hostels in the area, I was really disappointed in this one. I only booked it for its proximity to the airport(which was divine). The staff was very nice, but I would not stay here again or recommend this one, when there are so many nicer options in Cartegena.

Everything here was amazing. From the arrival to our secret cove, to welcome drinks, to the rooms. Mosquitos are inevitable, it’s an island , but one or two of the craft cocktails with house-infused liquors will make you forget about it. The excursions were so much fun, and met a lot of great people. The staff were so helpful, and fun to be around. Would definitely stay again!

The only negative thing to say about Central Station is how hard it was to say goodbye! The staff were incredible, making us all feel at home and like we had all known each other for years. Everything about this place was awesome from the vibe to the dorms to the outings. If you don't book here, you're messing up!

DREAM Hostel Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine

4th Jul 2017

Dreams was a really great hostel, but lots of Ukrainians. Kind of hard to meet anyone unless everyone in your dorm is awake. The location is fantastic, really cannot be beat, but the vibe wasn't so keen to solo traveller's!

Hlemmur Square, Reykjavik, Iceland

23rd Mar 2017

Showers were just curtains that were pretty see-through and right at a window. No privacy, but that didn't seem abnormal for Iceland. All the doors were super sticky and hard to open, which caused them to be very loud. Beds were not sound proof, top bunk made tons of noise when average size bunk mate climbed up. I know there's noise associated with hostels but it was advertised opposite. It was pretty clean and in a good location but there are definitely better options in downtown Reykjavik.

Everything was great!I'm still adjusting to all ages hostels, but this one wasn't bad. There was live music in the attatched bar when we came back from exploring, which was a perfect way to end the day especially with our free drink coupons from check in. No included linens or towels, but they were a decent price to rent.

This hostel is HUGE. It's odd to stay somewhere with that large of an amount of guests, but I guess they are all pretty big in copenhagen. The bar area was awesome, tons of fun and easy to meet people! The no outside food/beverage rule was really weird, and super inconvienent for people trying to travel on a budget. They said it was for city standards but other hostels nearby had guest kitchens. We felt like we were hoarding contraband muesli bars in our bunks.

Dear M, Thank you for leaving a review. We are happy you overall enjoyed your stay in Copenhagen. It is great to hear you had fun in our bar area. We are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with our no-food rule but it is due to the Danish Law that we cannot have a guest kitchen in the building. Thank you for staying with us.

There is absolutely no reason to stay in one of the fancy waikiki hotels, when this hostel exists! The location and price cannot be beat. They even offer low cost excursions to north shore, surf lessons, snorkeling/diving excursions and more. Beds aren't comfortable, but that's pretty normal for any hostel anywhere. If you need your fancy hotel fix, the nearby ones have good happy hours to mingle at. Will definitely be back on my next trip!

The atmosphere and people were great, but it's so dirty. People live long term in this hostel, which makes the rooms look like a 14year old boys pig sty. You can't beat the location and price, but honestly, it was so messy, we checked out after two days. This is coming from the girl who slept outside in a hammock for a month, I can usually take dirty. This place is messy AF, you can barely walk around the dorms the floors are so cluttered!

The rooms were okay, but one bathroom for an entire floor was kind of annoying. Had to wait a good hour to shower. There is not really any common areas to meet anyone, besides the smoking room. No kitchen area, only a microwave near check in counter. If you're traveling with friends and only planning on sleeping, this place is for you, but i'd probably stay elsewhere next visit to Amsterdam.

Nice, clean hostel, but no community area(no kitchen,no "living room" area) besides smoking room. Would recommend for people traveling in groups, but no extra activities for meeting people or anything that caters to solo travelers.

Nice, clean, secure and located near the bus and many great places to eat and grab drinks! The staff was very helpful and all had great personalities. Free breakfast and dinner was a huge plus, especially with my morning hangover lol Will try to come back soon!

This was more than I could have asked for in a hostel. It's located not even a full block from the subway and only cost $17 for an uber from LGA. The rooms are all keycard entry with USB/outlets/reading lights at every bunk. Very clean, and the private bath per room was awesome(although I felt bad when I had to shower at 3am for my flight) Will definitely be coming back!
