The lovely and organized team. I would normally prefer a quieter hostels but this I wanted to challenge myself to be in a more social environment and it turned out great. The staff like Augus, Dimitri, David, Barbi and the other two volunteers, literally everyone who who there are killing their jobs and keeping the place cool. Amazing stay

A perfect stay for a short-term travel - the value for money is going beyond the expectations! Very centrally located, clean, nice and helpful staff, unlimited very good coffee and tea in the morning. The description on Booking is fully matching, just read carefully before reserving and be aware that the room is small and mostly for sleeping in only. Definitely recommended!

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.
