8/10 Good

Classic backpacker but actually quite quiet. Double room clean and comfy, bathroom good, interesting building features add to the cool factor. Surprisingly welcoming for a couple of "oldies"

gauthier, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The receptionists were super friendly! The kitchen was being painted, so they had pots on a table, and I was surprised to see the fridge so full of bags considering there weren’t that many guests. They should organize the kitchen better. As for the room, I can’t complain — there were four of us with a private bathroom, and the mattress was very comfortable. The location is right in the city center. I liked it!

Pooja, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Central location reasonably priced.

Central location close to transport from the airport and the venue I was attending. A good budget option with all the facilities I needed.
Danae, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The staff at the hostel were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant. However, the hostel itself was very worn down and in need of serious maintenance. The facilities felt outdated, and some areas seemed a bit neglected. While the hospitality was great, the overall condition of the hostel could definitely use some improvements.
Jesper, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hostel was wonderful. Clean, friendly, and the beds were super comfortable. There is considerable construction happening in the neighborhood so drove around for almost an hour to find parking and an entrance, used an affordable parking garage just behind.
Katie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Budget priced clean and central to city. No frills but comfortable and friendly
Barbara J, 1-night trip

Some wear and tear on the room facilities but great location. I had a room myself with ensuite so worked well for my needs
Karina, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hostel for sleeping

One night stopover travelling on a motorcycle tour. Big high ceilings in a converted historical building made for a comfortable shared dorm
Martin, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Location is great, but everything else needs to be improved.
Rodolpho, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Good stay

Prime location = shops, transport and cafes. No microwave. Friendly helpful reception staff.
Alan, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Had a private room and it felt like a basic hotel, clean and comfortable. A good deal when split with another person. Nice and quiet. Be aware that this is a dry hostel even in private rooms. The quiet hours are generally well-observed.
Miriam, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was okay.
