Reviews
"Unfortunately more like a half way house than a hostel. Very run down and uncomfortable. Staff seemed friendly enough but yeah this property is not good"
"Booked 2 days in advance and prepaid for 2 people. On arrival was told that I was upgraded to a different room but my partner wasn't?!?! We were told, that our bookings came in separate, but the front desk guy mentioned later, that he purposefully separates men and women, even though the dorms are mixed!? After calling it out he cursed us and threatened to call the police on us if we didn't leave immediately!! Absolutely horrendous, worst hostel experience I ever had. Gladly booking gave us a full refund. Avoid this place at all cost!"
"Great place. Lovely owner, friendly and sociable atmosphere, quiet rooms, nice garden. Favourite hostel so far."
"One of my worst hostel experience. No heating in public space in full winter.. the boss is so strict (not possible to smoke tabaco in the garden, we've to go out in the street !!!), many warnings written everywhere, room too small. I felt bad since the beginning, impossible to relax there due to his own akward rules. Write on your description you re full anti tabaco !"
"I stayed for two nights; pleasant hostel at this price. The location is perfect. Amiable and helpful staff. Saw a notice that they banned smoking on the premise from 1st June onwards; excellent decision! They need to make other guests follow the kitchen usage policy so that other guests clean the communal areas after their turn."
