    The kitchen has just a fridge and a microwave. A heated plate would be great!

    The bar, the dormroom, it's super clean and quite! I prefer shared big toilettes at every level, cause when one person think it's a good idea to take a long shower(one person showered over 30 min)in the morning, so nobody else can use the toilet.

    There is no kitchen, so it's hard to cook.

    Staff really nice, beds very comfortable et everything was clean. Very close to the Old Port and not that far from the beach.

    Showers, at least on floor 1, were terrible. No pressure, no consistency in water temp.

    Nice hostel in the heart of the city. Well designed sleeping pods with charging points, and thick curtains. Despite being in a 12 person down, there was a good illusion of privacy. Staff are very low key, but professional. There was an issue with my booking, but it was rectified quickly and efficiently. Bar is a nice bonus, although not much social aspects as the guest these days would rather play with phones than talk to strangers. However, I made them talk :) Really enjoyed my stay here.

    The shower room is small (airplane size) and there is no shower towel at your disposal (you could ask the receptionist for it and pay extra I guess)

    Clean, in a good location, nice staff, 1min walk from a good Thai restaurant, a big locker room down stairs if you wish to leave your stuff after the checkout and wander around the city a bit.

    The breakfast was a bit basic, and by itself not very good value for money. Could get much better breakfast in town for same price. It’s my only/main criticism.

    Almost everything.

    The location isn’t great it’s up a side street by a cafe that is always full of men as a solo traveller this made me uncomfortable passing each time. The kitchen is only a fridge and a microwave they could do with more facilities so you could cook your own meals etc. there should also be a door at the entrance that you have to scan in to because anyone can walk in off the street

    Property is really modern inside and well kept beds and very comfortable and rooms are well air conditioned. Showers and toilets were always clean and one shower had two options for shower heads.

    There was a lack of hot water in the showers at any time of the day. The number of beds in one room was 8 which is a lot so you should definitely bring earplugs.

    I liked the staff and the provided services. The quality versus price ratio was amazing. Most of all the room was cozy and the curtain of the bed allowed for privacy.

    Didn't find the staff very capable. My room approached the staff that there was not enough lockers in our room. They responded that they will bring in more, but didn't ask for room number or anything and nothing happened. What of course followed was a domino-effect of people stealing each other locker's and another locker got broken. People woke others up at 2 am to ask about lockers etc. Also hardly any info on arrival, like about breakfast or the facilities.

    The location is excellent, close to everything yet sheltered from the noise. The courtyard is really nice. Free iced water in the bar was really nice. The beds are good and sturdy so you don't inconvenience the person above/below if you move. The hostel is clean and has a locker service in the basement.

    The bathroom was really tiny and I honestly don’t get the high price (€44) for a dorm. I have stayed in many hostels and normally the higher price made sense but here I don’t see it.

    Comfortable beds and bathroom in the room.

    There is a basic bathroom with a shower inside the room, but it is tiny. Tall and large people would struggle to have a shower in it.

    The room was really clean and comfortable. The common area of the hostel was immaculate and safe. The location is also very good. It is easy to walk around and find all the tourist attractions nearby. The staff was fantastic.

    I liked everything, but there was a small exception: the towel was not provided. I used to get a towel in other hostels, but I didn't get it here. But not a big deal, I had my own.

    The location is perfect, it is easy to walk from the popular places to the hostel. Also, I liked that there was a section for my stuff upper my bed, it was comfortable to put my phone, passport, and laptop. The room was clean.

    I felt some staff members needed to smile a little and show some enthusiasm.

    Location was very good, less than a 10 minute walk to the old port. I enjoyed the freshly brewed coffee in the morning, and the buffet breakfast.

    The only issue was the inability to adjust heat. It defaults to a set temp and does not deviate. The entire building is a sweat box so it's hard to sleep comfortably.

    We had a great stay here for 5 nights. The service was excellent, the rooms super clean and comfy. Even the breakfast was good. The location is great and it's a good value.

    Slamming doors from other rooms, so loud. Only bed in the room, no chair or some bigger shelves for the clothes.

    While the bunk had curtains which is nice it didn’t quite have enough to close it the width of the bunk, so you had to pick where you wanted the crack, the area around the property is not that nice, felt a little sketchy, but had no problems.

    Bunks is clean, quiet at night, and bathroom is clean.

    - the area is a bit strange - the mattresses are very thin, 5cm max. - the lockable boxes each bed has are so small, you cannot fit your handluggage - teeny-tiny bathroom (in the four bed room) - I was given bed "A" - arrived in the room to find "A" occupied, the other 3 were free. went back down to reception and told them that "A" was occupied, so I took "B" - they said it was fine. I put my stuff on bed "B" and left the hostel to explore the city. When I came back to the room at night, somebody had removed all my stuff from "B" and was sleeping in it! No go! Not her fault though, she later showed me she had been given "B", even though I told reception that I was in it...:-(

    + overall pretty modern + close to the city centre and the train station + sockets & curtains on each bed + there are 2 options for breakfast you can choose from on site - small for 4€ with a hot drink and a pastry or 9€ for all you can eat, though the options are limited to pastries, one type of cheese, bread, butter, juice, filter coffee, fruit salad
