I've read all the good reviews about the hostel, and it still exceeded my expectations. This hostel really feels like a family... Perfect location, amazing social life, and the crew is the Best! They really helped me with everything I needed, and made the atmosphere of the hostel so special! Thanks you Mauro Shlomo Marina Martini and all of the crew - you were awsome!

As I arrived late in the midnight, the staff was very accommodating to help me reserve the lower bunk bed. Staff are very helpful in general. It’s a really chill place so I can spend quiet time in the common area. I also like how the beds have curtains and a little storage area above so there is privacy.

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.

    Great location of the hostel, you can reach it by walking from the train station as well. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the air condition was decent - it was cool enough in the room but not too cold for me to get sick. I really appreaciated the sockets were located above each bed. The bathroom in the room was also really appreciated. In general, I think this is one of the best hostels I have ever visited, especially for such decent price! I would definitely love to come back one day!

    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.
