Location easy to find, across from some convenient stores and few restaurants but also walking distance to a lot of shops and various restaurants. They offer tours that you can purchase from the reception which is convenient.

Nathalia Brazil

The hostel had a great vibe if you're looking for a hip party place. Rooms were pretty clean. The staff was very helpful on multiple occasions - the room initially assigned to me was right above the bar area and was very noisy. When I mentioned this to the staff, they moved me to a quiet room far from the bar. The bus stop right outside is convenient.

Komal United States of America

I felt like it was a very open place to meet new people. The rooms were huge for sharing with 7 other people

Jean-baptiste United States of America

It was a great stay. Perfect location, amazing view and parties, very chill and fun at the same time. Good food & coctails

Muyesser Turkey

  • Do the private rooms have a safe and small refrigerator
    Hello! The only fridge available for guest use is located in our common kitchen.
    Asked about: Double Room • Answered on January 17, 2020
  • Is it quiet at night?
    We host activities and parties most nights. The rooms that are farther are more quite than the rooms closer to the bar.
    Answered on February 24, 2020
  • Do I need a lock for the lockers?
    It's not necessary but we recommend it. All the time there are a lot of new people making check-in and check-out. The lock is for your own safety. We can't be responsible in a shared dorm. So we recommended using a lock.
    Answered on September 5, 2019
  • How much does it cost to rent a lock?
    5 USD
    Answered on September 5, 2019
  • Can I use my own sleeping bag?
    Yes, you can. However, we have clean beds, with sheets and pillows that we change every time a guest makes check out.
