Location was excellent, close to public transport and very central. Bedding and room was clean, but bathrooms and other public spaces not kept clean. In the kitchen there often weren’t tea towels to dry dishes or enough clean cutlery.

Very nice spot and super nice staffs, the downfall is clubbing downstairs until dawn, which makes you feel like you are sleeping on the dance floor 😂 we had a room with crossing outside, and you can hear that beeping all night long. Good lock system, good facility, everything was clean. The bed was a bit cheap but for that price I don’t expect much more. Overall pretty nice, would suit young people.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were super nice and helpful. The other guests all seemed pleasant enough, just doing their own thing in the lounge area. The room (double with ensuite) was clean, tidy and the furnishings and bedding were all in good condition, but the ensuite's water pressure was a bit low if I am to be picky. The only real let down is the noise from the Scary Canary. Rooms in the 220-30 range are best avoided as they sit directly above the bar/nightclub and sleep prior to 3am on a weekend is impossible, even with the supplied earplugs.

No ventilation, smells too bad, You can't breathe
We paid a low price but the conditions of the room are not habitable, room 123 has no ventilation, the window is sealed, and it is located at the end of the hostel, lack of oxygen and the air conditioning does not work, they should do a deep cleaning The carpet smells like urine throughout the room, we assume it is because there is no ventilation.

I would not trust the water in this place. The place is quite old and two of the ensuites I rented the shower was cold af.. the rusty water which had a terrible color lasted for a week. The place smells bad. There are plenty of other options for better hostels than this. I will never return to this place and put it in my list of worse of the worse. True story.

It is very good for the price. The doors open with your phone which is cool but sometimes it doesnt work. The rooms are a bit outdated, they need renovation and the shared toilets are not very clean at times. They have common space where you can make new friends and socialise if you are travelling solo. The location cannot be better, it is very central. I would stay again for sure.
