Good position Good vibes Cool Rooftop Pub crawl available every night.

Nuvolari Italy

The room was very clean. In fact the first day we arrived we were the only people in the room so we enjoyed it very much. In the next days more people came in and the room became dirtier but there was a cleaning service every morning which was very good. The beds were comfortable with enough storage room.

Aikaterini Greece

Comfy bed. Clean room and shared toilet/shower. Amazing central location. Hostel bed come with a hook, hanger and a little net inside your bed area to store things.

Gianne United Kingdom

I really liked the hostel. The only problem was that the air conditioner wasn’t working and was very hot.

Flavia Ireland

The location was great and so was our room. Simple but very practical. Tue staff was friendly and helpful

Elisabetta Italy

I like the hotel surroundings and the fact that is a hostel with young people. Well located and has many facilities, even a rooftop bar with jacuzzis. The rooms for 4 people was nice, a bit small but enough for myself.
