I booked this hostel (despite the less than encouraging reviews, all of which were true) purely for the location.

I stayed for just one night. The location is good, and the place is quiet and clean. It’s not a particularly social hostel, as it feels quite modern and a bit impersonal. The main common area is not very large, but it works well for having a coffee or a quick bite. However, if you need a calm and tidy place to sleep, it’s exactly what you’re looking for. Marco was very friendly and helpful.

When you walk in you don’t know where to go, bad signage. The staff seemed annoyed by people asking them questions. The rooms were very tight and no ventilation. The toilet room was so small they had to cut out a piece of the door so it could open. No where for you to change your clothes in a mixed setting (toilet room too small). Only one person at a time can be getting stuff out of their locker (and no one can be trying to get passed) not a very enjoyable place to be
