    The online registration process was, I thought, over intrusive and asking for too much personal information and data. Most of it unnecessary for standard online registration.

    I liked this Hostel a lot and I have stayed here before which is the best thing I can say about this place.

    We appreciated that there was a washing machine onsite where we could finally wash clothes after 2 weeks on the road. Ever had a day like this one? Conversation with the young employee helping me program the washing machine at Hostellicious: Me: It’s important that the water be cold. Her: That’s fine we can program the temperature to whatever you would like. Me: Great! As long as it's cold. Her: Would you like 60 degrees? 40 degrees? or 30 degrees? Me: Well, 30 is a bit too cold, it’s pretty much freezing, so 40 would be fine. Her: ok 40 degrees Me (in hotel room the next morning getting dressed) Why are all my clothes so tight this morning? That chocolate ice cream was good but Jeez--Did I put on that much weight overnight?! Me: OMG She was using Celsius I presumed she was using Fahrenheit when I said 30 degrees is almost freezing. OMG. Almost $200 of expensive high tech hiking clothing, destroyed. Contrary to the myth of wealthy Americans we scrimped and saved for this trip and I can't just go out and guy these things again. 🙄🙁😵‍💫 So lesson learned--even though it appears the other person understands, it must be repeated 3 times in different ways like using the words Fahrenheit and Celsius, for verification.

    There was free street parking around the square right outside the door of Hostellicious. In spite of the 'hostel' name, one has their own private room and private bathroom. Only the kitchen and rooftop decks were community space. . The room was small but my husband thought the bathroom used the small space well.

    • Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 6 nights

    Was in a 8 bed dorm with older guys, snoring the whole 6 nights so had little to no sleep! other than that i cannot complain

    Average comfy beds, 5-minute walk to the train and bus station. Very clean, probably the cleanest I've been to! Mixed bathrooms was actually ok, was very apprehensive, but nice and clean. plenty of showers and not many toilets 2nd to last night had my own towel stolen, reception was helpful sadly will have to buy a new one. Nice privacy curtains, pillow was ok I requested a bottom bunk but got a top, but no worries! Good facilities, free coffee, decent sized kitchen, a nice lounge area where you can connect your phone to the TV or watch YouTube Happy hour beer from 6 pm-8 pm

    The hostel is located perfectly in the centre, a walking distance from the station (8 minutes) and close to all sights. I stayed in a private room with own bathroom, the room was very nice and cosy, a nice bathroom and a comfortable bed. The common area was also well designed, a big kitchen, a big shared space with tables and armchairs. Unfortunately, no breakfast option is offered, but this is understandable since it is a hostel. The staff was very kind and helpful.

    It's big and by that impersonal, compared to smaller hostels - in case you want to meet and talk to others.

    Great kitchen and livingroom

    I paid €20 for two small plates of tapas, one of which was some small pizza slices and garlic dough balls. It felt a bit steep for something so basic.

    It was super clean, I felt very safe as a solo female traveller and the staff were very friendly! The location was perfect, and it was ideal to have as a base in the center.

    I would avoid the 8 people dorm, too small and gets very warm. We were in a room with 80yo+ travellers which was also a bit weird

    Very well maintained hostel , rooms are clean and spacious and bathrooms always clean. Common areas are also very good and offer different options for meeting people.
