Very nice staff, very well equiped kitchen. The location is also good, there are supermarkets and bars/restaurants around. The hostel is very clean.

Nina_hei Slovenia

Great staff, Daniel is lovely. Very good location, nice kitchen with free coffee/tea. Nice social aspect that you look for in Hostels. Easy self check-in because of covid but plenty of staff around every day.

Fantastic, amazing and perfectly well organized! Thank you Daniel!

Really great person on reception. Room is comfortable Great service

Sheverdin Ukraine

Value and location are great. Room for two, no neighbors in most cases.If you spend most time in the city, this would be a best option. Cheap towels and hygiene stuff.

Intelligent_vshivy Germany

The location was great, right next to a bank, Starbucks, and stops for the tram/ bus/ and metro. Lots of places to eat in the area, and busy enough I felt safe walking around alone and at night.
