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.

No staff service whatsoever. I did not get a code to get into the room or the hotel. Nobody responded to the texts and calls. So I was stranded with two kids with us for the night. Kids got nervous and cried, it was a hectic and terrible night for my family.

They cancelled my reservation at the last moment, but kept my money. Refusing to refund. Staff very unhelpful and very slow. I wanted to say "you get what you pay for", but in this case I paid money and got nothing. So my sincere recco is to stay away from this shady place.

Good location and nice lobby with good kitchen facilities for all guests. However, our "private room with window" turned out to be non-ventilated, and the window was deliberately locked. The result being that there was no fresh air whatsoever and about 25 degrees room temperature for the night.

It is a basic hostel for the price almost equal to a hotel room somewhere else. Need to pay for towels separate. Shared bath room every time seems someone is always in it. Basic shower…total disappointment for the price!

Great hostel in a great location.

I love this hostel because of the small details that makes traveling easy and convenient. Curtains give privacy for each dorm bed, the bathrooms are clean, door code is sent ahead of time, plenty to watch on tv, and basics for cooking in the kitchen.
