    Nothing. Dont forget to bring your own locks

    Everything! Garden, bar, rooftop pool, inside area. Dormitories, drinks.. Definetely more than a hostel. It is quite big, everything you need, they have. Dormitories are clean, you can socialize very easily, tram station is only 4 min walk but you can also walk city centre within 20 mins max.

    More washing machines would be a bonus. And the bathroom floor was often very wet from the shower so better sealing from within the shower would be good or provide extra floor towels/bath mats to clean it up

    The sockets were designed to be compatible with my laptop charger but the grounding clips on the sides were mangled and prevented it from being plugged in. Had to charge with the socket next to the little table

    Very nice environment

    1. The sheets were fine but the blankets were a bit questionable. 2. The kitchen exhaust doesn’t seem to work. If it does, it should be explained how to operate it. Though the kitchen supply is exceptional, the air quality can be improved. I don’t mean AC but the toxic air exhaust.

    The safe and lockers combination was a great relief. I think this differentiates Yellow Square chains from others, placing them at higher level.

    The location was a bit annoying to walk to from the city center as there are some weird crossroads on the way. However, train stops are very close.

    I liked the vibe of the property. Lots of activities, free beverage voucher at the hostel's bar, nice and clean rooms. Very friendly staff.

    The price is quite expensive. Also, I thought they could have provided shower towels instead of renting for 1 euro.

    Room was big, it was nice and modern and clean, staff was really nice, they had a comunal kitchen and activities everyday like yoga class, gelato tour and karaoke nights. They also had lockers to leave the suitcase/bags.

    Everything is super comfortable, the beds are nice and clean.And it’s always a benefit to have the pool on the top of the building 😊It’s the best place if you are solo traveling. You can meet a lot of new friends and Yellow Square will help you with this,they are doing a lot of different entertainment in the evening. One of one I’ve attended and it was PERFECTO

    The ladder to the upper bed is made of metal. And it hurts my feet when climbing up. Plus the whole bed frame is made of metal - any movement and there is a loud sound. Well, there are no curtains. Sew them)))

    The pool is awesome!

    the shower was a little strange, no spot to put dry clothes or change…which isn’t uncommon in hostels but still something to consider.

    Amazing activities, polite staff, wonderful amenities, met so many new friends and had space to hangout, drink, work and relax. I would definitely stay again. Food was delicious and a steal when considering the quality and quantity.

    It would be quite noisy when they have event. We were lucky that we were not on the same side of the building when the karaoke night was on. we could be so upset and annoyed. It was very loud and at least happened till 12:30am. But I guess if you are young and enjoy the vibe than this is a great place to have a lot of event happening everyday.

    It’s very close to the tram station that gets you to centre in 10 mins. The price is good as it’s like a hostel place but you can also have private room with private bathroom facilities They have a bar and reception open 24 hours. You also get a free beer for staying. Coffee and pastry in the morning was good too!
