Barbora, Hungary

I didn't order breakfast service but the location of the hostel was nice, we were near from the places we wanted to visit. I also liked the facilities of doing the check-out and the location of the main services (luch, lockers, bathroom...)

Cristina, Spain

Cleaning staff is very active. Bar and restaurant area has nice design feel.

Ruben, Belgium

The front desk ladies were very helpful, I really appreciated them going above and beyond to be so patient with me.

Molly, United States of America

Location wasn't too bad. Bed is bigger than normal bunk bed size so was comfortable

Wil, Malaysia

Nice bar/restaurant in basement, plus books and some leisure games (pool, darts, yenga) and activities, but partly chilli when we were there. All clean and friendly

There was so many other young travelers to talk with, I made friends right away. I thought the atmosphere was awesome and I loved the location. bartenders were very nice and I thought the bar service was pretty good with how packed the bar was.
