    Didn't find the staff very capable. My room approached the staff that there was not enough lockers in our room. They responded that they will bring in more, but didn't ask for room number or anything and nothing happened. What of course followed was a domino-effect of people stealing each other locker's and another locker got broken. People woke others up at 2 am to ask about lockers etc. Also hardly any info on arrival, like about breakfast or the facilities.

    The location is excellent, close to everything yet sheltered from the noise. The courtyard is really nice. Free iced water in the bar was really nice. The beds are good and sturdy so you don't inconvenience the person above/below if you move. The hostel is clean and has a locker service in the basement.

    The neighborhood's unconventional appearance, but everything proceeded smoothly. No noise or any problem.

    The warm and welcoming staff, the convenient location, the laid-back youthful vibe, and the modern decor.

    The bathroom was really tiny and I honestly don’t get the high price (€44) for a dorm. I have stayed in many hostels and normally the higher price made sense but here I don’t see it.

    Comfortable beds and bathroom in the room.

    There is a basic bathroom with a shower inside the room, but it is tiny. Tall and large people would struggle to have a shower in it.

    The room was really clean and comfortable. The common area of the hostel was immaculate and safe. The location is also very good. It is easy to walk around and find all the tourist attractions nearby. The staff was fantastic.

    I liked everything, but there was a small exception: the towel was not provided. I used to get a towel in other hostels, but I didn't get it here. But not a big deal, I had my own.

    The location is perfect, it is easy to walk from the popular places to the hostel. Also, I liked that there was a section for my stuff upper my bed, it was comfortable to put my phone, passport, and laptop. The room was clean.

    I felt some staff members needed to smile a little and show some enthusiasm.

    Location was very good, less than a 10 minute walk to the old port. I enjoyed the freshly brewed coffee in the morning, and the buffet breakfast.

    The only issue was the inability to adjust heat. It defaults to a set temp and does not deviate. The entire building is a sweat box so it's hard to sleep comfortably.

    We had a great stay here for 5 nights. The service was excellent, the rooms super clean and comfy. Even the breakfast was good. The location is great and it's a good value.

    While the bunk had curtains which is nice it didn’t quite have enough to close it the width of the bunk, so you had to pick where you wanted the crack, the area around the property is not that nice, felt a little sketchy, but had no problems.

    Bunks is clean, quiet at night, and bathroom is clean.

    • Stayed 1 night

    - the area is a bit strange - the mattresses are very thin, 5cm max. - the lockable boxes each bed has are so small, you cannot fit your handluggage - teeny-tiny bathroom (in the four bed room) - I was given bed "A" - arrived in the room to find "A" occupied, the other 3 were free. went back down to reception and told them that "A" was occupied, so I took "B" - they said it was fine. I put my stuff on bed "B" and left the hostel to explore the city. When I came back to the room at night, somebody had removed all my stuff from "B" and was sleeping in it! No go! Not her fault though, she later showed me she had been given "B", even though I told reception that I was in it...:-(

    + overall pretty modern + close to the city centre and the train station + sockets & curtains on each bed + there are 2 options for breakfast you can choose from on site - small for 4€ with a hot drink and a pastry or 9€ for all you can eat, though the options are limited to pastries, one type of cheese, bread, butter, juice, filter coffee, fruit salad

    The courtyard was right outside our bedroom window and it was noisy late at night which affected sleep. The room was also too warm and the air-con didnt work so we didn’t have the best night sleep.

    The rooms were of a nice size, and were very clean. We enjoyed the breakfast in the morning which we felt was good value for money. The staff were very friendly

    In dorm shared bathrooms were tiny. I could barely turn around in the shower.

    Options of small breakfast 4€ with one coffee and one croissant. Or buffet 9€ with a small variety of cheeses and spreads. As the next cafe options are a 10min walk away I thought it was a fair price.

    I think having 1 shower and toilet for 8 people is a bit ridiculous. Especially early in the morning when everyone is trying to use it. I know there was 1 extra toilet in the hallway but that was shared for all rooms. There should be a few extra toilets and showers on each floor to ease the rush.

    The staff were friendly and the communal area outside is great for a drink and meeting people

    Noisy streets, mosquitos in room due to windows being left open.

    Comfy duvet. Polite staff. Large premises. Close to metro. Plug socket and light next to bed. There was a sense of cleanliness. Easy access in and out of property with no curfew.
