    Shower, the shower was cold in the beginning. I heard the tips is to hide behind the curtain and press the button until hit water comes out. Unfortunately I didn’t know this tips and I got cold already at that time, decide not to have shower after the cold water splash on me. For travelers that without EU residents, if want to pay by credit card the hostel will charge additional 1€. I suggest to show this regulation in booking. Com instead of notify customers after the booking that will make customer feel better. Although I paid cash in the end to avoid of the charge.

    Very friendly staff, and good breakfast with various kinds of food, also the atmosphere and space is chill and relax. Location is great!

    Kinda poor breakfast. Bunkbeds make noise when u move. Usb charger at my bed did not work, but it did work at the bed next to me(so thanks for sharing).

    Next to the bus station. Supermarkets very close. Friendly staff. Good place to hang out, and useful kitchen.

    Really enjoyed our stay at this wee hostel, the staff were great, especially Angel who was very helpful. Nice common room, free breakfast, think the only thing that'd be nice to have was a hand dryer in the bathroom. It's a great location, just across the street from both train and bus station (that's where the airport ends and starts too). Easy enough to walk everywhere but also easy to use buses if needed. There's a supermarket right next to it as well.

    A little noisy. But that is because of the buzz!

    This place is superb. It is not only for pilgrims, but so what. The owner/host is an absolute star. He goes way beyond the necessary to ensure a good stay.

    the usb sockets weren’t working (they kindly gave me adapter to use) but that meant couldn’t use light by bed. nothing major but would be good if fixed.

    great location, lovely and clean, common area/bedrooms/bathrooms all well designed. liked that you got own keys to come & go. stored luggage on last day due to late flight.

    I loved my stay there, just the showers were annoying because you had to push a button and the water was off again after 30s. Not good if you want to wash your hair!!

    The atmosphere in the hostel is really nice. The staff is super friendly and it feels very welcoming The location is good and the facility clean and comfortable!

    Everything was great. The hostel is furnished perfectly and it has great, funky personality (like its host). Facilities were functional, with lot of space and always clean. The position is strategic being next to the central bus station and having a supermarket right downstairs. Angel is a great and attentive host, always ready to help, suggest but also to have a chat. Sometimes he has volunteers helping, which are great to socialise with! Recommend 200%!
