Almost €100 euro for 1 night stay in a communal bunk bed seems very over priced, although granted it was a last minute booking. There was also a mouse that ate my crisps I was saving for my flight home lmao
Great atmosphere, on site smoke room and bar make for a great community feel. Showers and toilets were good quality, definitely going to book again.

The beds are not so comfy, the smoking area is a bit crowded sometimes, the prices of beer are a bit high, and it's a bit noisy.
I was easy to get there, near the center. However the beds are the same as last time I visited with my friends, not so comfy, but it's a hostel and not hotel so that is understandable. The bar and smoking area are great to hangout.

Two small tiny details that affected the cleanliness but easy to fix - vents above the showers so dusty, two second job. Quick hoover under the bunks - I saw a fair bit of rubbish under mine when I was double checking for lost socks at the end. 5 people in my room said they’d seen a mouse - they were most likely high (I hope).
The atmosphere, friendliness of staff was the best! The whole vibe! Fun, chilled - lots to do. Drinks good value! Easy to meet people. Gezellig!
