The place is amazing and the staff is so friendly! Adam was super caring and made sure I was having a good time during my stay. It's an awesome place to hang out and meet new people from all over the world. I'd definitely recommend it.
BrazilStaff awesome, customers friendly, location perfect. Able to crack on on your own if you want, or join the hostel in the evening for food and drinks in their partner pub. The hostel has a bar with great prices and the staff cook nightly
United KingdomNice place for a solo traveler. The kitchen and hangout area are great, the food that was cooked for us was delicious and the staff were helpful, friendly and chilled.
IrelandIt was my first stay in hostel, so I wish everyone the hostel like this! It was calm at night, but very close to the city attractions. The staff was pleasent, the breakfast was great. It was like in hotel. Thank you!
PolandGreat people running the hostel, the lines get blurry between staff and guests when the evening comes. Great relaxed atmosphere, dinner looked great (although I didn't join), awesome breakfast included, beverages for reasonable prices available. Spacious common area and "bar". Nice rooms, plenty showers and restrooms. A great place to hang out and meet people.
