Definitely the best hostel I have ever stayed. Very comfortable, clean room and bathroom, beds are super comfy, stable and private - they have curtains, also private light and plug. Female rooms and bathrooms are separated and it feels safe as well. Good location, easy access at night, staff is helpful. I stayed just few hours at night to rest before my bus but averall the experience was exceptional. Would come back again if I need.

really friendly staff and people and daily activities. the staff are travelers themselves who coordinate activities. Alina who led us to the great boat party the first night also took us out a few times on her free nights - she took charge when the group got indecisive but got us to explore some really cool bars. Mirko offered to make me some authentic Italian pasta with seasoning he carried from back home! All in all it felt like a family, and would recommend if traveling solo and up to meet new people. I’m 35 so was apprehensive at first if I had gotten too old for this - verdict is, it’s still a really fun way to solo travel!

I like the kitchen and dining area. I can use it whenever I want. I also like the concept of puting kitchen at the top floor and bed room area at the bottom floor so we can sleep peacefully without hearing any noise in the kitchen area.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

We stayed here for a stag do for two nights. What a great place to stay, its very cheap! There was a bar below our rooms that stayed open till 6am with music and food. So after our night out we would come back here to finish the night. It's in a great location bang in the middle for all bars, food and drink. The rooms were fab, the showers were really good for a hostel, powerful. You get a locker in your room too so its very safe. The staff were really helpful.
