“ We walked into the hostel and the guy at the front desk kept getting frustrated with us when we asked questions. He was so rude to us that we decided to stay one night and not the next so we don't get charged a cancellation fee. He then told us he would charge us for both nights regardless... more ”

“ Not a place to go if you want to have a good nights sleep. There was boom boom music playing almost all the time and we really did not enjoy it at night because the walls are very thin. For party people the place might be perfect but the no. 1 purpose of a hostel is that people come there to rest... ”

“ Nice place - the stairs got a bit of a drag but they weren't that bad. Was almost empty when I was there which I loved but I also suspect it would be a bit over crowded if full. ”

“ The perfect place to stay. The walls are a bit thin but everything else is in pretty good shape. The rooms / colours are stylish, everything fits together. Really helpful staff, free wifi and a kitchen with laundry and all you need. I can just recommend to come around. ”

“ Nice place! It disoriented me a bit cos it was so flashy, and you expect a certain degree of decay at a hostel... ;) But it was clean, new and quiet enough, free internet was amazing and a nice nice touch were the little shelves carved on the wall by the beds, so useful, and every bed has a lamp... more ”

“ With a common room that has more character (than the current couch-space which is dominated by the TV) and if possible a small bar this place could be the best hostel ever. As it is, it is verygood as long as you don't want to meet other people at the hostel. ”

“ Some will like the decor, others will be put off for its self-consciousness. I had a good stay with friendly staff and nice quarters. It was practically empty...which I have found to be a disadvantage. I look forward to sharing notes with other travelers. I wish them well later into this season.... more ”
