Absolutely Wonderful Hostel

Our twin room was very comfortable. We had a window we could open by which all of the singing birds greeted us in the morning. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of outlets for all our needs. The gathering room is nice in size and comfort, and the kitchen was well supplied. The front desk has limited hours. The shared bathroom worked out well. The shower room is separate from the sinks and toilets. All clean. The location is perfect for getting to all of the various sights. The elevator works well. We couldn't have been happier. The shared bathroom worked out well. The shower room is separate from the sinks and toilets. All clean.

Great place at excellent location.

Even tho i didn’t have any interaction or met any staff member, the instructions where very clear on the email you get. So I didn’t have any problems. My room (#1) was very comfy and it had a fan that it was a plus. Stayed in a 4 bed room but we were only 2 guys. Room was great and the facilities looks great too. I only stayed for 1 night but everything was fantastic. The location is also amazing. The metro from ferri terminal drop you 3 mins away from the hostel and the train station to get to the airport is 5 mins away.

pleasant experience, good value

hostel experience - but a single solo room. the room itself was top notch and way better than I expected. it was clean, very good looking and the table for working could fit two laptops easily. bed was ok, very clean but a bit too bouncy and soft for my taste. but tastes may vary of course. the public toilet on the corridor had door handle and lock mechanism very clunky and almost broken. was surprised the towel wasn't included in the price and since my check-in was very late, I could not get a towel. so a very important detail was lost in the messages. shame. overall - pleasent experience for a single room single traveller. good value for 65 euro per night.

Nice spot for a short affordable stay. Only complaint was that towels, etc. were not included in the pricing. I do not know if this is typical in European countries, but otherwise a convenient location with plenty to do nearby.
