    Small hostel, friendly staff, very clean. Good internet connection. Close to shops and transport. On Friday and Saturday nights bands play so you can hear music in the hostel. If you like the music it is like a free concert. If you don't like the music, you need headphones.

    No staff to talk to, have to use an app to get into the room, the floor or anywhere. Check in and check out through an app. Very not user friendly. The rooms are very small compared to the amount of people in a room. There a very loud noises and can hear all the music from the roof top which music is playing through the day very loud. Would not recommend and wont get back.

    Staff member who checked us in was friendly. I would not book this place again. We stayed in a private room and unfortunately had a pretty poor experience overall. Communication was an issue from the start, our pre-check-in inquiries via email and phone were completely ignored. When we arrived, the staff member who checked us in was friendly, which was a small positive. The room looked clean at first glance, but the furniture was dusty and there was rubbish visible right outside the window. The toilet had a constant unpleasant smell, likely due to poor drainage. Noise was a major problem. There was no soundproofing whatsoever so we could hear everything from the busy street below, the pub underneath, and the rooftop bar above. To make it worse, the hotel didn’t enforce its own noise curfew, and we were kept up by loud guests shouting and laughing in the hallways for hours every night between 10PM and 2AM. On checkout, we were told we could leave our luggage, but were given the wrong pin code and lost access to the building immediately after checking out. Since the place was closed and no staff were available, we had no way to fix the issue and just gave up. It’s a cheap place and might work if you only need a place to crash and don’t care about sleeping well. But if you’re looking for a decent or reliable stay, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

    The staff was very nice, specially the boy who helped me when I arrived. I would like if the rooms have more ventilation and maybe more cups in the kitchen, I wanted to drink tea but I didn’t find cups

    Near room 5, there's a balcony, and every night some people smoke and make too much noise. The smoke even reached the room every time someone entered or left room 5. I don't understand why they don't like the rooftop for smoking. It was an unbearable week, considering I like to stay at the hotel because I think it's great.
