The staff was nice and the energy of the place too. The spaces were clean and room spacious. The location was good, walking distance to everywhere. They had lockers for sale, towels for rent, and the room was really good.

We had a private room and it was great. The window opened out to the canal at the back of the building, so it was nice and quiet even with the window open.

It is not a common hostel place. Especially, common places within facility are very well designed. Rooms with canal view is so good. Staffs are doing their best for your comfort and help you anytime.

Fantastic staff who were very friendly and helpful. We loved the vibe of this place with the comfy couches and swings in the lounge area. Lots of amenities like hair dryers, magazines, books, travel guides. Great to be able to do some cooking in the spacious kitchen. It all ran very well and was very clean. The metro station wasn't too far away and there is a great market and shops close by.

There was not coffee at the breakfast. Nor hot milk. Actually, very little option: apples, bread, jam and peanut butter. It was it.

Discovered the bed I was in had bed bugs, I contacted the hostel to let them know and they apologised but no recompense was given. Breakfast was average and the bathrooms were not good with the showers being quite cold.
Quirky styling, nice staff

The showers switched between hot and cold. Overall cleanliness of the place could probably be improved, such as floors, doors etc.
Really cool little hostel. There were heaps of common areas for people to hang out and make food etc. The coffee was great. Everyone from staff to guest were really friendly so a pretty good vibe for a solo traveller. I was in a female dorm next to the canal so that was nice. They have no self use laundry but do your laundry for you and I was pleased to see they matched my socks and folded my washing :)

1. Though I picked a place in a mixed room , I expected it to be clean , but there were dust and garbage under the bed, torn sheet on the bed. For eight beds there were only 4 lockers , some of them were broken ( you couldn't put a lock on them). 2. Services provided for different types of beds are not explained clearly on booking.com . You need to go on their website before you book to get full information.
Staff was nice and friendly

Super Kool vibe and have booked a few times location is great as it's not in the middle of the central but not a far walk so it's quite at night. The staff were super helpful and friendly especially Ina who was super helpful and is now my fiance. Would recommend.

-The breakfast: one of the most basic I've seen in hostels, no hot beverage included, no jam, basically just cereals, milk, a jug of orange juice and some sliced bread. -The serious lack of light in the bedroom -The sound isolation of the bedroom, right next to the common room, we've been bothered two nights out of three because of the noise.
-The atmosphere of the hostel: it's really cool, chill and laid back. There are big armchairs and sofas, and even some swings! -Most the employees were adorable and very helpful. I'm allergic to many things and they changed my pillow and covers, which made my life so much easier.

It's not your fault guys, but there are always some people who don't know how to behave in a hostel; having conversations whilst packing to leave the dorm at 5am in the morning, or people who snore incredibly loudly.
The locations is great, staff are really friendly and helpful, and the bedrooms are pretty comfy.
