Nice comfy room and bed. Clean. THIN WALLS! The staff was very friendly and helpfull. Close to everything and easy to get around by foot, bus, tram and metro. Very friendly and nice hotel/hostel with activities. The only problem was the thin walls so bring headphones or plugs. Would recommend for the price (Euro 30-40 / night Singel room) Best regards

very satisfied with the hostel. met my needs. dark enough curtains. so if someone from the room came and turned on the light it didn't bother me. quite clean both in the room and in the bathroom. the shelf for the phone by the bed is convenient. quite roomy closet for things. the large mirror also pleased me.

My second time here and perfect stay again! Last time I stayed in a private room but this time none available so stayed in a dorm, also excellent! Spotlessly clean, good width and length of beds, linen looks brand new, comfortable, respectful room mates and lovely and quiet so easy to get good nights sleep! Great common shared spaces for socialising or working. Excellent strength wifi. I liked the area, right by the tram and metro making getting around easy. Delicious fresh and varied breakfast well worth it with cooked food (bacon, eggs, beans), pastries, fresh fruits and juice machine, the lady at breakfast Olga is very friendly and constantly ensures everything is topped up and clean and fresh. Highly recommend!

Hostel was just okay. When I arrived there was a rotten apple in my bed and the shower wasn't clean. I booked an airport shuttle at reception for my flight and once I came down for the shuttle, the receptionist told me they made a mistake and there was no booking. Therefore I needed to pay 3x the price for an Uber at 4am.. Although common areas were nice and was in a good location.
