Once found, the place is on a prime spot, so close to everything, and anything. Right in the middle of all " the action". The cleanness of the hostel was so immaculate, the staff so helpful too.

Excellent location, good for socialization, the bathrooms are relatively clean. It has a kitchen that allows people to cook there (although we could barely find space in the fridge). They also have washing machines (for a fee).

My food was stolen by other people even it was labelled. Laundry was a ripoff, you have to pay 100kn for washing and drying while you can get it with only 45kn if you do it at self service laundry shop.
Hostel located right in the city centre and not far from the harbour and bus station, about 10 min walk. Easy access to main tourist attractions and convenient store. Staff was friendly and there’s a small kitchen as well

It was a little hard to find cus it won't map well on any map app. Staff directions should be given a day prior to arrival. Their directions came to me after a bit of frustrating time while trying to find the place.

“Fantastically located, comfy beds and clean facilities.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night
I organised to leave my bags early to go on a tour but when I arrived no one was there. So I just left them tucked in purpose built storage shelves in the kitchen, which was fine, but not secure. Also just a warning to those with big suitcases - there are a couple of flights of stairs to navigate.
Comfortable beds, clean facilities, good amount of storage, fantastic location. Good communication from the hostel about how to find it, as it is tricky without their instructions.

The women's dorm was opposite a bar so on the night I stayed there (Saturday) there was music playing and noise from the crowds until about 2am, which was loud enough for me to have trouble getting to sleep.
Good location, big lockers, clean, a towel provided. It also had a nice balcony to sip a cup of tea out of the sun (bring your own teabags!)
