Marieke J.
The shared facilities were clean and I never had to wait, but my private room didn't feel clean. It had no daylight, and the lights switched off automatically after about 30 minutes. The hostel was quiet, with barely any decoration, and didn't have a nice atmosphere.

The location is crazy good, and I liked the common area and kitchen, where there's WiFi. The free meal on Tuesday night was a real highlight, and they seem to run other events and activities too, which is a bonus. I only stayed two nights. The rooms and facilities were pretty average for a hostel. My room had no window and was always dark, and the bathroom sink was broken. Otherwise, it seemed reasonably clean. All in all, I'd recommend it.

The location is so good, and the staff are very friendly and willing to help with any problem. The beds are clean and nice. But the kitchen smells like vomit, making it unpleasant to cook, and during my three nights here I had to wipe pee off the toilet seat almost every time I went to the bathroom. A decent hostel overall, but the hygiene is awful.

The location was very good, and the shared bathrooms on my floor were nice. For the price it wasn't bad, but our room wasn't very nice and the beds weren't especially comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was barely worth it, just standard white bread and cereal.

The location is good and the price is cheap, but don't expect too much from this young hotel. There was hair, including pubic hair, on the bed, and the mattress wasn't good or comfortable to sleep on. The room was very basic, just a bed and a locker, with a simple divider. You could clearly hear people talking outside, and it was noisy all day and even at midnight. The kitchen and bathroom were dirty.
