The hostel has 4 floors and they don’t have lift so is really hard take the stairs and more if you have big baggage, the bathroom is in the 3er floor so you have to check this thing cause there is no even just Bathrooms just in the 3er floor

Clean and a nice common area. Good location.

Towel deposit policy. I forgot to claim a towel deposit policy while checking out. The staff didn't remind me. When I came back to receive it, the staff said I had already got it. A better policy for that would be appreciated.

I've stayed at this hostel multiple times, and every visit has been consistently excellent. What really sets this place apart for me are the cleanliness and the incredibly friendly staff. They always make me feel welcome, and it's clear that they take pride in maintaining a high standard. The dorm beds are very comfortable, and I really appreciate the privacy features they offer—it's not something you always get in a shared space, but it's done really well here. Whether it's the cleanliness or the friendly atmosphere, I always know I can expect great service at this hostel, which is why I keep coming back. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant place to stay!

One of the best hostels! We had a private room with a private bathroom, so I cannot judge the shared space. Clean, big enough for 2 people. Very helpful staff. There is a washing machine in the hostel, so you can do your laundry there if you like. Plenty of space to sit, relax and work if you need to. Motorcycle parking and ATM in front of the hotel. Close to the main markets (the farthest you have to go is 15 minutes) but my favourite one is just 5 minutes from this hostel.

The window faces the shared balcony, so there is no way of opening it or even living with the curtains open.

I appreciated that there was staff available at reception 24/7, which made the stay more convenient. Breakfast was included, which was a nice bonus. I stayed in a 10-bed dorm room, and it was surprisingly spacious—there was plenty of room for 10 people, so it never felt cramped. The bed felt clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were always clean, with staff regularly maintaining them. They were also spacious, with enough toilets and showers that I never had to wait. The hostel had plenty of seating options in the lobby and breakfast area, including tables, chairs, and couches, which made it easy to relax or work. Additionally, there was a common area on the same floor as the dorms, providing a comfortable space to hang out without being in the dorm room. I did have to put down a deposit for a towel, but it was refunded when I returned it, which was a fair system.

While my stay had many positives, there were a few areas that could be improved. I wasn’t a fan of the self-service system for washing dishes after breakfast—I would have felt more comfortable if this was managed by the staff. Additionally, the lobby and breakfast area often felt overcrowded, with lots of noise and people smoking, which detracted from the atmosphere. In the dorm room, there wasn’t a clear designated space for each person’s towel. This, combined with subpar hooks, often resulted in towels falling onto the floor, which was frustrating.

I recently stayed at this hostel and wanted to highlight the politeness of the staff—they were always friendly and accommodating, which made my experience more enjoyable. While I was a bit underwhelmed overall, I did appreciate the consistently delicious and varied breakfast each morning. The location was also perfect, providing easy access to nearby attractions. Overall, it had its strengths, but I was hoping for a bit more.

While the lively atmosphere was great for meeting new people, the high volume of guests meant that cleanliness wasn't always a highlight. Additionally, I found there was little to no space for storage in the dorms.

Best hostel and accommodation we’ve stayed in so far (better than hotels). Lovely atmosphere without being overly social (coming from two introverts who still enjoy a nice atmosphere). The breakfast was the best we’ve had so far and rooms/ dorm was lovely and clean with lovely bathrooms. Activities free such as yoga and live music. Brilliant location within a walking distance of most places but not directly in middle of crazy busy market streets. Staff were lovely and very attentive to everyone’s needs. Free bottled water in reception also.

Nothing at all

This is the nicest hostel I have ever stayed in. Very clean and quiet with exceptional staff. The dorm rooms are spacious, air-conditioned and well ventilated. Good mattress and every bed has a locker. Bring your own lock, as in most other hostels. Plenty of good restaurants and a 7-11 nearby and a short walk to the city center. Located in an area that is quiet at night. No party people - this place is ideal for chill travelers.

Breakfast selection is limited, but that's okay because it's included in the price. No lift, so keep that in mind if you depend on a wheelchair.

Its very very clean! And the staff is great! Looks wise its a very good hostel

Its boring. If you looking for a hostel to socialize this is NOT the place. I was giving hotel vibes. Nobody talking to one another. And its very quiet. You cant even whisper in you room or talk on the hall. You have to be in de lobby to have a phone call or outside. If you are a quiet person and dont wanna socialize its a good place for you. But if you solo traveling and wanna meet new people THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. You will feel lonely.
