It is very stylish and nice. Also location is perfect.
SlovakiaView is amazing, the breakfast is small but nice. The place feels like a hotel in many ways. Liked VERY much the bumgun! Terrace was awesome, and there is a beach in both sides of the hotel. Oh, the beds are super cosy.
IsraelThe hostel is new and very clean. Good helpful staff. Nice rooftop bar on the last floor with a great view.
UkraineStaff was great, location amazing, love the view to the river, that we got the room with private shower and toilet
United KingdomAmazing views from the terrace, big lounge area, plenty of facilities, kitchen area, WiFi, socket points at bed, plenty WC/ showers, good breakfast included.
United KingdomNice Hostel very clean .....the kichen have every thing you need ....very nice view you can swem on the back of the hostel you shower outside is a nice place .
BelgiumIf you are looking for relaxation this is the perfect place. IT IS NOT IN THE CITY CENTRE, but it is right next to the beach which is what I was looking for. If you are expecting, Pubcrawls, craziness and parties, you better opt for something else. Also, I think is one of the most cleaned hostels I have been to. (And I've seen many). Furthermore, everyone there was in the same mood. (Solo travels looking for relaxation) RECOMMENDED PLACE!
NetherlandsThe rooms were very clean and modern. The restaurant/bar owned by WAX across the street was affordable and convenient. Staff was very helpful and able to call me a reliable taxi for a red eye flight. I highly recommend.
United States of AmericaNebensaison, also perfekt. Low season, not crowdy.
AustriaFriendly and helpfull staff and even my late check-in was absolutely amazing. Perfect place and I regret being there only for 1 night..
