The breakfast choices were great and so was the size of the kitchen. The shuttle service is also really handy and I thought the staff were friendly and very helpful

One of my favorite hostels in Europe. Amazing location up on the hillside with lush greenery. Somewhat hard to find however if you do venture too far at night and don't remember the address! We enjoyed cooking meals and sharing them with the rest of the guests.

Very good hostel, good staff, and the best is that they can pick you up to the hostel from the bus and tram stop, very helpful, for sure I'll came back. They show what you can do and give you discounts, perfect.

The staff here are amazing and the guests (for the mostpart) are friendly and welcoming. The only downside is its location at the top of a very steep hill. They do their best to accommodate everyone by picking you up at the bottom of the hill, but it's still inconvenient, esp if travelling without a cell phone. But two BIG thumbs up regardless!!close

I stayed here after multiple recommendations but I'm not sure what these people were raving about. Not clean AT ALL- hairs everywhere and breakfast tables grimy at 8am. Except for the staff who were more than willing to take you anywhere, would not recommend to anyone.
