There are actually two buildings located very close to each other, and I stayed in both. The main building where check-in takes place has slightly older beds—they’re metal frames, and my bed base was a bit sunken. I weigh around 50 kg, but it still made some noise when I turned or moved. The room was quite dim, and even with the lights on, it didn’t improve much. It also seems like there’s a rooftop party about once a week, which can get very loud, so it’s something to be prepared for.
-
The newer building is more comfortable overall. The beds are made of wood and feel much sturdier. This building also has better lighting, making the space feel brighter and more pleasant. I’d recommend confirming which building you’re booking when making a reservation.

The bathroom was too dark despite the lights being turned on. You have to pay 2€ to store your bags here after check-out.

Great location, really good breakfast. The room had a small balcony. The bathroom was too dark despite the lights being turned on. You have to pay 2€ to store your bags here after check-out.

Rooms were clean and I appreciated the bathrooms in the room. Based on reviews I was expecting this to be a much more social/party hostel than it was. Didn’t have a great atmosphere and it was challenging to meet people. Also lacked curtains on the beds.
-
Great location, comfy beds. When I first checked in the room I was allocated did not have working air conditioning. Given there was a heatwave I asked staff to switch rooms in which they did and put me in another room where the aircon worked great, this was really appreciated. The bathrooms in the room smell a lot, a mould/damp smell which is off putting. Other than that it was great.

Very cheap. Check in took fifteen minutes.

The social aspect of cats is amazing, the facility’s allow you to socialise with everyone, the bar and rooftop was amazing and the bar was quite cheap, they had loads of social things like pub crawls and group walks, this then allows you to interact with others in the hostel or staying in nearby hostels. nothing was wrong with the property the location and rooms was fab, the shared bathrooms were great having 2 showers and 2 bathrooms and 2 sinks so there was plenty of room for you and your roommates.
