Rooms with the curtains were nice. Showers could be better. The whole demographic seemed older when I was there so didn’t love that personally but otherwise loved the place!

I was a solo female traveller. Stayed in a female dorm. All amenities were clean and the hostel itself was quiet, despite being just off the main road. Friendly, welcoming staff.

Great place at excellent location.
Even tho i didn’t have any interaction or met any staff member, the instructions where very clear on the email you get. So I didn’t have any problems. My room (#1) was very comfy and it had a fan that it was a plus.
Stayed in a 4 bed room but we were only 2 guys. Room was great and the facilities looks great too. I only stayed for 1 night but everything was fantastic.
The location is also amazing. The metro from ferri terminal drop you 3 mins away from the hostel and the train station to get to the airport is 5 mins away.

Absolutely Wonderful Hostel
Our twin room was very comfortable. We had a window we could open by which all of the singing birds greeted us in the morning. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of outlets for all our needs. The gathering room is nice in size and comfort, and the kitchen was well supplied. The front desk has limited hours.
The shared bathroom worked out well. The shower room is separate from the sinks and toilets. All clean.
The location is perfect for getting to all of the various sights. The elevator works well. We couldn't have been happier.

(I do wish the front desk was available for more hours.)

pleasant experience, good value
hostel experience - but a single solo room. the room itself was top notch and way better than I expected. it was clean, very good looking and the table for working could fit two laptops easily. bed was ok, very clean but a bit too bouncy and soft for my taste. but tastes may vary of course.
the public toilet on the corridor had door handle and lock mechanism very clunky and almost broken. was surprised the towel wasn't included in the price and since my check-in was very late, I could not get a towel. so a very important detail was lost in the messages. shame.
overall - pleasent experience for a single room single traveller. good value for 65 euro per night.

Nice spot for a short affordable stay. Only complaint was that towels, etc. were not included in the pricing. I do not know if this is typical in European countries, but otherwise a convenient location with plenty to do nearby.

Ideal spot
Wish I tried this earlier in my trip. This is walking distance from main train station and is centrally located to key sites that a weary traveler would need. You can’t really go wrong staying here.
