I would definitely stay here again”

This is the best hostel I’ve ever been to. Location is perfect, very clean, spacious room and although you share the room, you still get a bit of a privacy with how the bunk beds are made and positioned. Also, the bunk beds are sturdy you don’t feel it when the person above moves. It’s perfect!

Great choice for a first timer”

I chose this hostel after reading all reviews and wasn't disappointed. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Facilities are clean and comfortable and Location is great. My only Con is the fact that I encountered some problems with the luggage storage system because I typed my passcode 3 times and the system was blocked. I knew I was typing the right number, but for some reason it kept showing the message "you have __ more attempts" as if I had typed it incorrectly. It was my first time using a system like that though. Although, the staff helped me promptly. I'm very satisfied with the experience
