I loved the breakfast and how you could easily make your own even if you had to leave really early. I checked out at 5:00 today (congrats on the 24h reception too) and I had a light breakfast before heading to the station
United Kingdomthe staff were extremely helpful and thoughtful; I had to leave early in the morning(6.45) and breakfast was offered after 8am but I was offered toast etc and/or coffee.
ItalyStaffs was sooooo friendly, VALENTINA THE BEST ❤️❤️❤️
UkraineSuper cosy little space - didn't get too loud or too crowded, the staff was AMAZING, the place is super close to everything and generally very very very nice!
DenmarkReally friendly and helpful staff. I made late night booking and they were able to get me a bed without any problems. In the morning nice friendly welcome and breakfast offer. Really good stay
EstoniaBreakfast was scrambled eggs and toast available form 8am to 10am, also as much cereal and toast as you wanted. Free hot drinks throughout the stay and orange juice.
United KingdomGreat location, staff were so friendly, and breakfast was lovely every morn
Irelandcosy flair, friendly staff, great breakfast, the location is in the center, therefore quiet On the top Hungarian music...
HungaryLocation great for the train station. Lovely place and really nice, pleasant and approachable staff.
United KingdomThere was an issue that occurred with me which was beyond the direct control of the Hostel staff but they took full responsibility of the matter and offered me a full refund for the 2 nights I stayed there. What else could they have done? 10/10 I was even offered additional amendments and costs if necessary, which I politely declined despite the persistence of a particular staff member. They've taken the notion of customer satisfaction to another level... and I should know because I travel to different countries and residences virtually every week. It's a backpackers hostel so it's not perfect in terms of facilities but their concern for their customers welfare is fantastic.
