The staff were very accommodating when I realised that I had made a mistake with the day of my booking and they were able to get me sorted and even add an extra day stay. Place was clean and the atmosphere relaxed. 12pm checkout is handy too.

A hostel with a fantastic location 🤩 It is centrally located right next to the metro; from there, you can quickly get anywhere in the city, including the airport. It is also perfectly situated for exploring the city on foot. I stayed for one night and was very pleased with the location, the rooms, and the staff's attitude—thank you for everything.❤️❤️

Not too loud, not too hot. I was able to check in a little early on a Monday and the employee was thorough in showing how the keys work and all. The bunk beds had just enough space so that not all my things had to be on the ground or in a locker.
