I had a great stay at this cosy hostel. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it easy to relax and meet new people. The place was clean and comfortable, and there was always something going on, which added to the overall experience. The entertainment and social vibe really stood out, and the staff and guests created a friendly, enjoyable environment. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a lively but comfortable place to stay.

I wouldn’t come back here. The staff are kind and happy to help but some of the policies are ridiculous. If you leave anything at all on the floor in the room, it gets put it in lost property, and they’ll fine you if you cook after 11pm. Mostly long term stayers so everyone tends to keep to themselves/ their groups, so not really the best if you’re looking to make friends as a solo traveller

The noise level here is unbearable. Even well past midnight on weekdays, the common area is filled with shouting and a TV blaring at maximum volume, despite no one actually watching it. There is absolutely no quiet space or designated area to relax, making it impossible to find any peace.The mattresses are and the bathroom amenities are quite poor. The location is great (there are several other hostels with great location, also cheaper choices) and it's very social - but just too loud.
