location very good
gauthier, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff at the hostel were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant. However, the hostel itself was very worn down and in need of serious maintenance. The facilities felt outdated, and some areas seemed a bit neglected. While the hospitality was great, the overall condition of the hostel could definitely use some improvements.
Jesper, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly hellful staff on front desk

Birgit, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hostel was wonderful. Clean, friendly, and the beds were super comfortable. There is considerable construction happening in the neighborhood so drove around for almost an hour to find parking and an entrance, used an affordable parking garage just behind.
Katie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We live at a single room, the bedding really needs a good clean. Would be great if can provide toothpaste and brush.
Min, 1-night trip

Barbara J, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Central location reasonably priced.
Central location close to transport from the airport and the venue I was attending. A good budget option with all the facilities I needed.
Danae, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Some wear and tear on the room facilities but great location. I had a room myself with ensuite so worked well for my needs
Karina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Reasonable
Room and bed comfortable but small with nowhere to put your things. Shower curtain was not wide or deep enough so water went all over the floor. Shower nice and hot. Kitchen a little chaotic in the evening with other guests not clearing up after them.
Anne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hostel for sleeping
One night stopover travelling on a motorcycle tour. Big high ceilings in a converted historical building made for a comfortable shared dorm
Martin, 1-night trip

Alan, 2-night trip

I loved everything about the properly nice and clean
Adam, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had a private room and it felt like a basic hotel, clean and comfortable. A good deal when split with another person. Nice and quiet. Be aware that this is a dry hostel even in private rooms. The quiet hours are generally well-observed.
Miriam, 2-night trip
