The staff was very nice! It was super convenient that they had a restaurant in the hostel area. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable.
Anastasia, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I booked this hostel just to freshen up before a long flight. It’s not centrally located, but it was close to my previous hotel so it worked out. The receptionist wasn’t very welcoming, and there was no shampoo or soap, you have to walk a bit to buy your own. Towels are available if you leave an ID. I booked a 4-bed dorm but got put in a 6-bed one—not a big deal since I wasn’t staying long. The room was hot, and even though a window was open, it didn’t help much. It’s fine for a quick stop, but not ideal for a longer stay.

Really liked the food, the convenient location, and the easiness to store luggage and too get help with taxi. Very nice place. And again mention the food was awesome.

Rude staff

The place in itself is good, but the reception staff seemed very rude Leaving my room at 6am so I didn't wake up other people, I was question who I was and when I was leaving. The woman apparently checked me out already there
