Great location. Friendly staff. Nice little continental breakfast. Quite noisy late at night as the pub crowd returns so take some earplugs. Otherwise great stay.

The rooms were large and clean. I like that there was a bathroom and shower for two units hidden. Our unit was completely full but still no one had to really wait for the bathrooms. Cramped shower but it worked for me, maybe not if you’re really tall. Close to everything and you just walk everywhere. Not too much food choices around but if you walk 10 minutes or so, you are in a good place for it. I would stay again.

I Really Like This Hostel
There is so much good food left behind and marked “free” to future travelers just for the taking. This food is not only In baskets on the counter tops, but marked in refrigerators as well. This is a welcome tide-me-over until one can get to a market in the mean time and a thoughtful gesture as well. Very appreciated.

Everything was great, although I do wish there was a door and not a curtain on the entry way to the female showers. Other than that, it was impeccable service.

Amazing staff and located near the main attractions, the only downside is the train right next to the building, but it does not bother you.

Lovely hostel to stay in. Nothing bad to say apart from the fact that the rooms were far too warm! Had trouble sleeping as there was no cool air flow. Air conditioning???

My laptop was stolen out of my bag from my bed. They have lockers in the basement but you have to pay a few euros each day...I guess it would have been worth it. I ended up spending quite a lot of time at the police station up the street trying to get a police report. The staff was very helpful about it and reviewed the security cameras.

Typical hostel in a great location
It is a busy place with people from all over the world. The doors slam so it was a bit loud. Bring ear plugs which if you forget they sell for 50cents. It is a very convenient location for walking everywhere and the train and bus. The staff are very friendly and there’s a mini breakfast that can give you a good start to the day. Options for a free walking tour and evening €12 pub crawl daily. It was a heat wave so for me the 3rd floor was very hot but they had 2 fans in the room.
