the location was absolutely perfect and the staff was all very nice and welcoming, and we had a balcony

the door never fully closed but it latched, so we heard everything in the hallways and the walls were incredibly thin. the bathrooms werent the cleanest and the shower was just in there with no curtain, so whenever someone showered the entire floor would be soaked with no ventilation.

I had such a great time at the hostel, and a big part of that was thanks to Santi and his pub crawls! He's so good at making everyone feel welcome and making sure we all have a fantastic time. If you're staying here, definitely join one of his crawls. Perfect for young guys who want meet new people. Perfect position and the receptionists are very kind and helpful. The rooms are clean.

Camere un po' piccole e senza arredamento

The reason I give this place a 10 is because of the price and location and convenience. The hostel is nice enough to keep your bags and not charge you extra and for the location and price you really can't complain. I got clean sheets and felt comfortable. The one thing if I'm being picky is that the shower doors need to be closed to avoid flooding the restroom. They are new owners not the old ones with the bad reviews so hopefully they keep up the good work!

The room I booked was different from the one that would give me, but they solved the confusion right away. Water heater was broken but they solved it also wonderfully and gave me a private bathroom that had hot water. Super friendly staff who seemed happy to work there.

The shared bathrooms and showers had no hangers and were clotted. They would really help if they kept an eye on it.

The staff was really nice. The beds were comfy and the room was clean. It was quite warm in our room but with the windows open it was totally okay. The whole building is seems a bit old and industrial ( so mot the the new, luxurious type of hostel) but it was definitely worth the money and i would come again.

The lift was a bit scary but okay for the few times we used it

Great location. Near shopping area, restaurants and grocery store. Near metro station. Good value for money. Comfortable bed. Good wifi.

It’s noisy in the evening. You can here all guests going in and out of the room. Waiting time for the elevator.

Location was perfect. accessible to the metro and close to all other places worth visiting. room was clean. Staff were accommodating and approachable especially Andrei and Tamara who went above and beyond their duties to be able to response positively to our concerns. Basic facility for breakfast times were available as well as there were kettle, toaster, microwave and fridge too for perishable goods to be kept.

just the noise, all the rest no issue.

I loved every host that was there! Super endearing especially the young girl that was there at the check in (I don’t know the name but was the mature one between the ladies I’ve seen) and also the guy with long dark hair

It was much better than the reviews. The bedrooms were clean and comfty and the shared bathrooms were kept clean., the staff were all lovely!

It was a shame that there was not free water available, its a shame for the environment to keep buying bottles of water and is not cost efficient.
