A four night break at an apartment here and it was an ideal location for us. A warm welcome from the team after a late flight and close to the centre of the city. Highly reccomend and we'll hopefully be back

Very cute and comfy. The staff was sweet and helpful. The front entry is marked with a small sign that's easy to miss on first glance and there are lots of stairs to climb.

This hotel is decorated in such a fun and interesting way. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The only downside is there is no lift, and quite a lot of stairs.

Ups and downs

Location is great. Personnel are all very friendly. Yet cleanliness of the rooms were a bit underwhelming and we suffered a lot due to the lack of an air-conditioner. So if you are your early 20s the place is good, but not for an early 30s couple.

Great location, easy check in

This is a nice no frills hostel, the desk people are nice and friendly. The decor is cool. Others have noted that it’s a third floor walk up and the walk up isn’t lit, I didn’t think that was too bad at all, you have some light from the street so it’s not pitch dark by any means. Good location and close to all transportation. Not shabby by any means but definitely no frills, I would say if it’s a deal for you at the time of booking then do it. Only thing is that the private rooms don’t have an option for a private bathroom, only the larger apartments have that option.

There were natural gas smell in the room, and I asked the reception and they said it is normal!!! There were no elevator or any help to take the luggage's three stores which was 5 floor tall comparing to normal building) If there were slippers it would be great. The people were welcoming, the kitchen staff were available, such dishes coffees and ... location was great to access city center with some walks.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hostel is decorated imaginatively, the staff is extremely helpful, providing anything you request if it is available. Only 2 downsides: 1. It is a very old building with no elevator. If you can't walk 4 flights of stairs, this isn’t the place for you. 2. They do NOT take credit cards, even though all the booking websites say they do.They only accept cash or wire transfer and they only let you know this on the day of check-in. They also list the price in euros instead of the local currency. That being said, they are very relaxed about the payment, giving us ample time to get to a bank and withdrawing the money. All things considered I would stay there again. One last thing: the building entrance can be hard to find. Just look for the Museum of Failure; it's just to the left.
