Overall great stay!! Would return

Stayed in a 6-bed private room - fantastic price and amazing location! Beds and pillows were comfy. Great activites in the hostel. Downsides were the 1. noise of the nightclub that takes place on a Friday night, it went on until 3am I think 2. The bathroom sink is in the middle of the room and not in the toilet, just makes it loud when you wash your hands in the middle of the night Overall a great stay and I would recommend it and return here!

Appreciate this was a budget stay but I still expect the room to be clean, which it really wasn’t. The bed was covered in hair and the floor felt really dirty under foot. Would suit backpackers / students more so than families / couples

We had a 14-hour overnight layover and didnt want to sleep at the airport. The hotels by the airport are insanely expensive but the trains run 24/7, so we decided to try this place out. It's quirky and has wonderful artwork/murals all around. It's so centrally located that we were able to absorb a LOT of the local flavor during just a 2 hour morning walk. Will definitely go back there and spend more time.

Expensive for what you get. Cleanliness could be better, the wet room bathrooms are cheap and nasty and the bathroom cabinet was pretty scummy Great atmosphere in the bar areas. Would recommend if not intending to do anything other than sleep in the room.

Good location, price. Cramped, bad shower

This hotel was a good, low-cost option in a good location. We had a king room with private bath. It was small, with very little room to move around the bed and nowhere to leave suitcases open, but it worked OK. The wifi was reliable. The bar/restaurant on-site was convenient, and there were tons of food options around. The shower, however, was terrible. I didn't get a good shower for the several days we were there, because the temperature was so unpredictable. It wouldn't stay constant for more than maybe 45seconds.

The room facilities are too simple to live with. There is even no nightstand, no hand tower. The sheets are polyester and uncomfortable. There is no separation between shower and toilet. So after shower, there is water everywhere in the bathroom.
