Very small rooms but it was enough for me. I stayed 7 nights.

Jennifer, Malta

Just the first recepcinist with black hair. The others were not polite.

Marcio, Brazil

For a hostel, this was great! I appreciated not being in a bunk room. The cabins have open lattice ceilings, so you can hear everything from your neighbors, but at least there's a lock on your door and a bit of privacy. Word of caution that I'm 5'4" and couldn't fully extend on the bed. It didn't affect my sleep any, I was just a bit surprised, lol. The staff is wonderful, the guests were polite and a mixed demographic, which was nice.

Betty, United States of America

The staff, they provide you with shampoo and conditioner and soap. Also a towel but you have to brin your own wash cloth.

Amy, United States of America

Nice location Good quality for price Really clean Nice employees Private cabins

Remy, France

It was straightforward, not paying for luxuries I don't need. I wanted a bed to sleep in for a week and thats what I got, for cheap. Pretty close to public transport. The doors lock (better than some cheap hostels). The desk is staffed 24/7 by friendly people. The bathrooms are cleaned very regularly. And they provide the earplugs. And a towel. And I saw one weird insect but no bedbugs, the beds being clean and not uncomfortable. Value for money if you're happy with backpacker accommodation. (I was happy with this)

Well, Australia

Staff very kind, beds are really cofortable, the rooftop is very cool, the house in general is suggestive!! The area is very cool and there are many metro stations close to the hostel

Virginia, Italy

Friendly staff and clean quiet accommodation and common areas.

Nickolas, United States of America

The rooms are fair but because of open ceiling, you can hear everyone's breath on the floor. Forget about morning sleep...

Rawad, Lebanon

My first time in a hostel or cabin, this place was reccomend to me by a friend. I really enjoyed it. Was clean, comfortable, and in a great location to explore. I only needed to stay one sleep, but had two full days to find it a very great and stylish choice. I would book here again

눉Do not stay here if you are looking for a private room. The walls fall far short of the ceiling and you can hear everything from the other rooms it's like sleeping in an office with dividers. The pictures are very, very far from reality you can hardly fit a suitcase in a double room. The price was ridiculously expensive compared to local hotels where rooms are actually rooms and you have your own bathroom. My partner and I had booked six nights here and left after the first, we found an amazing hotel down the road for a very similar price and we loved it. If you are looking for an extreme hostel vibe this is your place if you are looking for a nice comfortable private place, please look elsewhere.

눉Accommodation was fine if you are staying overnight anything more and I think you would something quieter and more comfortable. Was noisy at night despite the rules. We were not on the female bathroom level so had to walk upstairs in the middle of the night. Showers were fine. Staff were however rude, unhelpful and abbrasive. Wouldnot recommend based on this.
눇Location was great.

눉The room was the least annoying part which was very tiny. We could hear every word anyone said on the hall which was suppose to be silent. I had to ask several people to go downstairs because it was past midnight and we were trying to sleep after a very stressful night. Previously that day I was verbally assaulted and called bad names by the housekeeper on two separate occasions. Once while taking a shower because the floor was wet, which was already wet upon my entering. On a second occasion she also commented that I was too big to fit into the robes they provided. It was a horrible experience and I would not recommend to stay here. Tho the front desk staff was helpful to gives us a refund, I no longer felt comfortable to stay here and will not recommend.

눉Long stairs to get the hotel. Bathroom in different floor of my room and dirty all time. There was a lamp in front of our door turned on all night, awful to sleep because there is no roof in the cabins. The "no noise policy" wasn't respected by the staff and other guests. Be aware the photos on website does not resemble with reality! It was one of my worst stay in a hotel ever of my life. I really don't recommended at all.

눉Rooms are cabins. One massive floor plate separated by wooden divides. ceiling of cabins is open with just a wooden grating above it. Curtains don't fully cover windows. Nothing out of the norm for a hostel however.
눇Very easy to come and go. Location is in an interesting area.

눉People had loud sex until 6am and got kicked out when they stopped. People are rude and just burp and fart, no matter if it's small you can still hear it. You can hear everything(burping, sneezing, eating food, chewing gum, throwing up, moaning) (the doors slam pretty loud too) everything you can hear so if you don't like hearing those things DONT STAY.

“Straightforward cheap accommodation”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Original Cabin
- • Stayed 6 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉It's really like being on an awkward high school camp with adults. I mean, you do hear that the cabins don't have ceilings, but then you squeeze into one and you're like 'wow, I really can hear some dude quietly jerking off from the other end of the floor'. Well, that's what earplugs are for. The only really major complaint for me is that the shower temperature was painfully unpredictable. I could personally live with cold showers that take an exceptional amount of time to give you hot water, but one night the water was scalding and I couldn't wash my hair because I would have been burned putting my head under that. On a couple of nights the water came out perfect temperature the first time but the scalding night was a little dangerous. There aren't any elevators so if your not a strong walker for whatever reason you'll have trouble getting up to your cabin. And you may get put on a separate floor to the bathrooms you need if they're out of space.
눇It was straightforward, not paying for luxuries I don't need. I wanted a bed to sleep in for a week and thats what I got, for cheap. Pretty close to public transport. The doors lock (better than some cheap hostels). The desk is staffed 24/7 by friendly people. The bathrooms are cleaned very regularly. And they provide the earplugs. And a towel.
