This hostel offers an affordable stay with amazing staff who are genuinely helpful. While I found the renovated rooms to be stunning, my non-renovated room was cramped and the bathroom cleanliness left much to be desired. The location is fantastic, but the noise can be a bit much and the Wi-Fi was unreliable at times, which detracted from the overall experience.

5.0/10

The hostel has an attractive price and is conveniently situated near major attractions, making it appealing for budget travelers. However, the noise from the street and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements made my stay less than ideal. The breakfast was quite basic, and the staff didn’t provide much flexibility regarding check-out times. In short, if you’re looking for peace and comfort, this isn’t the spot for you.

Rooms

I had a mixed experience at this hostel. The room was generally quiet and clean, which was a plus, but there were some issues with the payment process that made my stay a bit stressful. The location is fantastic, perfect for exploring the area, and I appreciated the little amenities they offered. However, the shared bathrooms could be a hassle in the morning, especially with limited access before check-out.

The experience at this hostel was truly disappointing. The room was extremely cramped, and I faced issues with unexpected cash payments that were frustrating. The noise from the nearby nightclub made it almost impossible to sleep, even in the early hours. While the facilities were relatively clean, the overall atmosphere and service left much to be desired and felt like a money-making scheme rather than a place for travelers to enjoy.

My experience at this hotel was quite frustrating. The rude check-in staff really set a negative tone right from the start, and the accommodations were below what I expected for the price. On the positive side, the location is decent, and I was able to find some comfort during my short stay, but ultimately, I couldn't overlook the problems I faced.

Staying here was quite an experience. The location is fantastic and close to major attractions, but I'll never forget the twin challenges of cramped sleeping quarters and the overwhelming noise from the street. Although the staff seems helpful enough, I wouldn't come back due to the uncomfortable setup and lack of sleep.

I recently stayed at this hostel, and the location was definitely a highlight, being close to the city center. However, the overall experience was far from great.

For the price I paid, I expected much better quality and amenities.
