They answered all our (partly crazy) questions and provided us the best breakfest buffet ever - we had to pay though, but it was absolutely worth the price! Rooms are small but cozy and very clean! Bathrooms were quite cold, but we didn't care because the water was nice and hot for beautiful long showers. We always felt very safe and very welcome! Thanks for making our stay so comfortable!close

paying extra for every single service (linnen/lockers) is not very hospitable, definetily because it already is such an expensive city. things got stolen from our roommates. bring your own linnen, as sleepingbags aren't allowed due to hygienic reasons...

The staff were really friendly, and the food at the cafe was great! I would suggest that you get a bigger sign though... was a bit hard to find. I would definitely stay there again and will recommend it to other people.

If you are looking to meet people in a normal hostel environment - than this is NOT the hostel for you! It has no common room, internet is very expensive & staff will make you wait atleast 15min before helping you! The only thing it has going for it is a good location...

Unfortunately, the booking had not been transmitted from this site to the hostel. Though we had a confirmation automatically generated by hostelworld, the staff at the hostel did not know about our booking the day we arrived. But they managed it very good!

We were not impressed - and I wouldn't recommend this hostel to anyone!close

Paying for sheets and the hostel card seemed like a rip off. No breakfast was also a downside. Location is a perk.

This hostel doesn't have all of the room types offered on the website yet they will happily charge you a higher price to book something that doesn't even exist and then put you into a large dorm anyway.

Only issue was we were placed in an 8-bed mixed dorm after requesting a private 4 on hostelworld, and the hostel apparently doesnt do your requests unless youre a group/family. we had a great stay and would def. recommend itclose

The hostel has, indeed, an excelent location! unfortunately, there ane no lockers in the room and the bathrooms showers have no curtains separating from the toilets, which makes the floor looks always dirty and wet. All the rest is top notch!
