“ Very international atmosphere and staff ROCKED. Only problem is if you really want to get a good night sleep in those dorms, pretty noise on weekends. Nice place, would visit again! ”

“ super fun hostel. Every night pub crawl. I can recommend it. Very clean, but maybe that's because it wasn't the high season. Free city tours, very good! Overall a good place for meeting people and having fun! Only downside: the beds could have been better. ”
