Exceptionally clean, great location in an older building. The hostel is well renovated and very comfortable. Helpful staff

Victor Canada

Location along water is nice. On bus line to train and bus stations. Grocery store nearby as well as restaurants and bars. Rooms are large, single level beds, spacious common area, and well equipped kitchen. Complimentary breakfast is good. Staff is hard working and helpful.

William United States of America

Breakfast was great! The room was spacious and the fans really helped. The location could not have been better. Very nice lounge and staff were professional and helpful. You do have to climb 3 floors to get there because the building is old.

Diane United States of America

I really liked the organized way of the accommodation with the funky artworks and fonts. A very insightful set of people at the reception and a well laid out breakfast. Really enjoyed my stay, was peaceful and the experience was refreshing.

Arvind Ireland

The hostel is in a great location close to the water, many restaurants, and walking distance to transportation options. All of the staff were really friendly. I appreciated the three bed dorm room. It was really spacious. Having a window and fans made it comfortable when it was hot. The staff worked hard to keep the place clean.

Bethany United States of America

Pretty much everything. The rooms were clean, beds comfy, there were sockets and lamps next to the bed, big common area and the location was absolutely perfect!

Camila Germany

The hostel is located in a historic building in front of a museum and in a nice and lively area. The apartment is huge, well maintained and welcoming. The rooms are airy, colorful and luminous and the common areas cozy and cute. The staff I met was fun and helpful. I was very lucky, though, because I checked in with a young woman who was subbing for someone and as she loves her town and likes to share her love she made my short stay memorable.

Laura Italy

Very nice hostel, excellent service and good vibes. The lady at the reception was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Great advice and very accommodating. Thank you.
