It isn’t clean at all and there’s no commun area to chill or meet people. You also have to wait a long time to get your breakfast since it’s only one personne cooking one plate at the time…

Not enough bathrooms, common area pretty small and small table for breakfast so you have to queue

Perfect location, nice private place with bed

The guy named Ariel who works in the hostel robbed me money for some non-significant laundry BS. I said quietly to keep that small amount of money he robbed, and i would write a bad review. He then canceled my booking so i can't write it (i guess i will pay twice for the "no show"), So i booked another night just to write this current review so you guys can be aware that this Ariel is a thieve. When i asked to talk to the boss, he said he was the boss (which is a lie), and agressively said i will not sleep in the hostel one more night, even if i paid it, and threatened to call the police, but obviously he never called them because he was lying to scare me up, and was aware about what he did. Guys, please pay caution with this Ariel guy who stole, lied, was agressive, disrespectful, and cheated by canceling the booking so i can't write this review, non professional at all. I hope the "real boss" from the hostel will explain him how to treat tourists. The other people working there are all professional and respectful.

Good location, Good Price

There are only 2 big rooms with the bunkbeds so about 16-20 beds per room and only 2 toilets/showers per room so basically it’s never free. There’s no atmosphere in this hostel and it’s very noisy before of the street noise. Breakfast is included but the most horrible salty eggs you have ever tasted. Definitely won’t be coming back there.

Good location.

Didn’t get breakfast ‚cause the lady was way too late with the preparation. As I as for at least coffee, she shouted at me.

When we arrived they overcharged us significantly and were dismissive about this and kept passing us over to other staff. You just get a wristband for entry which makes you feel unsafe, there’s no locks on doors and anyone could wander in. There’s only seven bathrooms for at least 60 guests which means a lot of waiting around to use them at peak times. Only one woman cooking and serving breakfast for everyone which is just unrealistic and takes forever, and there isn’t enough seats for everyone to sit down for breakfast. We did eventually receive a refund on check out, but this was handed to us without a word from the staff which again felt really rude. All in all, if you’re using this hostel as a quick stop before travelling onwards, it is okay, but for a longer stay would not recommend at all.

The location was really good, although quite loud at night. 10 minute walk to the pier which is ideal for going to the islands.

We would have expected better for a private room. But we were surrounded by fan and AC which was running 24/7 with an immense loudness. The breakfast (however for the price and a hostel I would not downvote it) was simple and spartanic. A small fruit bowl, eggs and a toast with mamelade, thats it.

The look and feel is very nice and the location is right in the middle of the old town.

The bathroom in the morning had a huge queue! The issue is the fact that there are not toilets separated from the showers. The bathrooms are in good condition and clean tho.

The location is top! We had the superior double bed and I have to say it’s an interesting accommodation! Breakfast was good and the staff very nice!

Stayed in December 2023

Not clean enough, 3 bathrooms for 50 people means dirty bathrooms and queues for toilets, a bit smelly in dorms, night staff smoke too much weed to keep you safe at night, cockroaches around the beds, they scam you with breakfast that is earlier than half the guests get up (9am), breakfast staff were rude.

Location - rest is mediocre or bad

Other guests were super loud, so it was really hard to sleep.

We booked a private room with en-suite. The image has a window. We did not have a window in the room. There was one small thin blanket to share between two- no sheet. The pictures have a luxury soap but it was just a wrapped bar of the cheapest soap available. We used our own. We had to use a towel to cover ourselves. Didn’t see anyone use the jacuzzi - wouldn’t have myself either. Don’t think it was worth the cost of around £65. For a little more we could have had a proper hotel (and windows).

This is on one of the busiest street in the Old Town so if you’re looking for that location it’s good. The en-suite bathroom was clean. The staff at the front desk are friendly.

Stayed in December 2023

Staff unfriendly apart from the woman who made breakfast and seemed to do everything while those on reception sat their phones. Only one bathroom for about 20 beds. Two others were locked for my first two nights and then on the final night they were opened. No sheet or blanket unless you ask.

Location Wifi is fine Breakfast just ok

Stayed in December 2023

Toilets were really dirty and all toilet seats were broken. Not enough toilets/showers. Nowhere to hang f.ex a wet towel next to your bed.

Good location in town. Good with A/C. Good breakfast.

I didn't like the fact that there was no hot water for showering or that there were only 3 bathrooms available which was always occupied. The staff cleaned the main areas but not our individual "rooms" unless the person has checked out. I had also seen a cockroach in the kitchen which made me move out the next day.

I liked the location of the hostel. It made exploring the town very convenient.

There is not enough electricity in the building for all the rooms. The staff batlantly lies to you telling the problem has been going on for just 24 hours and should be fixed soon. In reality, I overheard other hostel staff and learnt that the problem has been going on for weeks now. The hostel just pretends to be working on it by connecting different rooms to the electricity at times. They have no intention to fix because they would need to shut down for a couple of days. I booked with enough time and was never told about the situation, in order to book another place. I was told until I got there and couldn't get another booking. They never offered a discount or a negotiation, but where offering discounts for new guests without bookings. If you do decide to stay, you should know that you won't have electricity during the whole stay and should negotiate a better price.

Location, cleanliness, dorms.

Loved everything! The LUDO board game is missing 2 tokens hahaha, but was able to have a great tournament with my friend either way!!!

I liked the vibes and thematic. It looks really nice, and it feels amazing and comfortable. You feel at home, surrounded by nice people. Breakfast was alright! Bathroom and beds are definitely good for the price, enjoyed it a lot. Loved the temperature as the A/C is cold enough!

The room 2, the one i got (not the pods) was noisy because of the air conditioners of everyone right outside my window. That night was noisy because of a bar or whatever close to it and when i turned my own air conditioner on it had a bright light temperature indicator that iluminated all the room, i didn't really sleep that night. The cost / benefit of the pods are great though.

Location is excellent, the building is clean and well mantained
