All the staff were really nice and location can’t get any better. Beds were comfy, “pods” were spacious, large lockers, and girls dorm was roomy. Kitchen small but had everything you need. Only issue is that building management won’t turn on any lights in stairwell. Looks so sketchy when you come in from the street entrance. Too dark to walk up the stairs, barely can see worlds slowest elevator, and graffiti everywhere. But you need code to get in so it’s actually safe.

Location was amazing, you're basically right in the town square. Facilites and Hostel itself was very nice and well kept. Only downside is it's not the most social hostel, others didnt seem to want to connect with anyone, especially young travelers

Great cubicle beds,great duvet and great location and Denuka does a great job of cleaning. However, they do need to get a new fridge and start recycling (not just pretending).
