    Rooms are kinda clean, but toilets and bathroom are dirty, especially bathrooms have very unpleasant smell, everywhere is rubbish and it makes this hostel not so comfortable as it could be. There are no towels, so you should buy it in supermarket or take with yourself.

    Location is super and I liked staff, who helped us and gave some helpful information about city and transportation. There are lockers inside the room, which you can have with deposit 10€, which is returned during checking out. It has it own cafe, which makes it nice place where you can have a breakfast and go to the center with new energy and power.

    I got the double bed pod on the upper level. Getting up and getting down was pretty difficult because there was nothing to hold on and the steps for bed were also very small. I think this could be improved because I've stayed in hostels before and never felt difficulty in accessing the upper level beds

    The hotel is located at a very good location. Easily accessible. The staffs were very friendly and kind. The check-in was also very smooth.

    Hygiene; the showers smelled like sewer (poop) constantly. Cleaners only come once a day; so toilets and showers almost always dirty. No beds; just matrass on a board; so super sweaty and dirty. Nasty. Especially since sleeping room has no ventilation; gets so dirty hot and sweaty and smelly in sleepingroom.

    Price and location.

    No food in the rooms policy was a bit inconvenient if understandable, and there was still a “tourist tax” when the booking said “includes all taxes and charges”.

    Comfortable beds, good value food and drinks at the cafe, close to central station and some main attractions. Good price hostel.

    The shower room smelled horrible and also looked a bit gross (yellow stains on the floor). The rooms didn't have great ventilation so it got sticky and hot at night, when 4+ people were in the room.

    Everyone was really nice and the location is good

    The pod windowless room could use a little better ventilation. Also, the improvised stairs to climb to the top pods are not very safe at night. The toilet did not have any hand soap.

    Very friendly staff!

    Being confined to the room after 10pm because the common area is closed off. No staff there at night. Loud and drunken guest is the morning. Not enough bathrooms. Locker doors damaged.

    Charger on the bed and common area when open. Nice stuff. Good location.

    The hostel is both a cafe and a hostel, and at times it felt they were crossing over a little too much. The bathrooms and showers were shared between female and male, only three toilets. Although cleaned daily every morning, I felt I could not shower comfortably.

    It was situated in a great location, close to the main city centre.

    Very small room very basic and cramped. Room far too small for 4 sets bunks.

    Very basic, tiny room for 8 beds. Luckily not all occupied. Was worried about noise but luckily roommates quiet. Passable for one night/price.

    The cleanliness was questionable. The beds don't have curtains which is a very easy add and it adds a lot to the privacy. The bathrooms did not look very clean and there was no soap or shampoo in the bathroom.

    The price was very good and the location was convenient. The bed was larger than most other hostels. The lockers were large.

    Covered above - Needs doormats at both the entrance and the side entrance door to avoid bringing street water into the premises when entering from the street to side entrance door.. Very cheap but sorely needed solution for Top Double Beds in room 5 need proper and safe steps and handles in to safely get into bed. The bed and space with it and contact points inside are just great to just fantatstic!!!

    First time in a shared room in a hostel. Met my low expectations.

    Guest in shared room would prop the door open - to get fresh air. It made me feel vulnerable with the door open. I was trying to be trusting of strangers but this seemed too much to expect. The room had ac. The lobby did not. It was super hot in the lobby, unable to enjoy the lobby due to heat.

    I didn’t find the beach was close til my last night but thought it was super far to walk and seemed challenging to get there if I had limited time. I liked they did activities. I liked that there was opportunities to meet other people.
