Staff were helpful and friendly, convenient location but if we could have at least a table in the room to put our essentials on would be great! Other than that, loved it! 😍 Thank you for our stay here!

6/10 Good

I chose it for its price and location. Couldn’t have been better for that. Maintenance and cleaning issues that are easy to fix such as handle off shower and remote not working, shower needs a scrub not just a wipe. Do that and couldn’t fault it. My room was located next to traffic lights so Billy Eileish

I liked that it was close to city centre. I didn't like the noisy situation close to noisy night club and poor sound proofing.
Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff are very helpful and the rooms are clean and tidy . The shower facilities are good with hot water . This is my second stay and would recommend to stay in the female only dorms as I felt very safe travelling as a sole female traveler. The elevator are out which is my only negative but due to required maintenance that’s not the staff fault . They are very helpful in helping you with getting your luggage to your room . Would def stay again. great location and activities within the hostel are well rounded and accommodate all

4/10 Fair

The room was very difficult to get to with luggage. Had to take an elevator to the 2nd floor and then moved through other buildings and down15 stairs to get to room. Not convenient to get in and out.
LESLEY, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff and checking was awesome. They even upgraded me to a good room. I would be happy to stay here next time too as it is very convenient to move around. Downside - Broken fixtures in bathrooms and loud doors. Elevator is being fixed which was not ideal for me to walk 3 stairs after running a gruel marathon ( 5 floors to kitchen) Rest else, great work team and loved my stay here.
Krishna Thanuj, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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 The rooms are a bit outdated, they need renovation and the shared toilets are not very clean at times.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.
STYLIANOS, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Only stay if you’re looking to party

This hostel would be perfect for those who are looking to party. However if you’re looking for somewhere cheap to get an ok nights sleep, don’t stay here. The scary canary nightclub is literally right below if you’re on the first floor like we were. You’ll hear everything until very late. Terrible nights sleep for over inflated Mardi Gras weekend prices.

Why not put on hairdryer in the bathroom? Everyone need it anyway.

2/10 Poor

Even though they saw i use a walking stick they put us in a room that's up three sets of stairs, had a kettle and cups but no milk or coffee. made to wait a long time before checking in

8/10 Very good

Not bad but needs to be improved

A lively place where you won't feel alone. The staffs are friendly and helpful. Overall the bed and the bathroom are clean, but the shower place needs to be improved. In addition, it’s also not convenient to use a mobile app to unlock the door because I have to carry the phone everywhere even when I take a shower. The room’s cleanliness highly depends on the roommates. There is always rubbish on the floor, and when I checked in the room, the only empty locker was filled with previous tenant’s clothes.

2/10 Poor

"Unprofessional and Inconsistent Policy Enforcement – A Disappointing Experience" I am extremely disappointed with how this hostel enforces its policies, especially regarding alcohol. During my three-week stay, I saw multiple guests, including staff, drinking openly in the common areas with no intervention. This created confusion about the actual rules. However, when I had six cans of beer delivered, the receptionist suddenly informed me they would be confiscated due to an alleged alcohol ban. He told me I could pick them up later, but only if I consumed them outside. This rule was applied selectively and unfairly. When I questioned the decision, I was given unprofessional responses. The receptionist claimed not to have seen others drinking, even though he had been present when I observed it. Another staff member gave the same vague response, further highlighting the inconsistency in enforcing the rules. This experience showed a lack of professionalism, transparency, and fairness. If rules are to be enforced, they should be applied consistently to all guests. I respect the hostel’s policies, but the way this situation was handled left me frustrated and disappointed. I hope the management improves communication and consistency in the future.
