Good location, easily accessible by metro. Rooms were super clean, bathroom and toilet included. The beds were confortable (more than in other hostels located in the center and that are more expensive). I didn’t try the breakfast but the bar area was nice. The place felt pretty secured as well. There were a few school groups in the hostel while I was there. Something to be aware of, but it didn’t bother me. I would definitely go back !

Nothing to complain. The staff were extremely friendly and beds were comfortable. The only thing is that the toilets have a sewage smell and they’re not cleaned by housekeeping daily.

This hostel is well located and the rooms are big with bathroom inside the room. Unfortunately when I was there the elevators got broken so I had to climb all the stairs many times. And some staff don’t speak english getting the communication a little bit difficult

For the money this is a good option. The single and double rooms were a good size, clean and had everything you needed. For sure I would recommend it.

It’s kind of a nostalgic visit for me. There are so many great memories from here. From walking the sunset at night on the roof top to partying downstairs. And the staff is amazing.

Cosy environment and friendly staff

Both the staff and my roommates were very courteous during my stay. A cosy environment and respectful and friendly staff. Suggestion: The food and beverage part can be made a little more affordable. I had a smooth and peaceful stay. I would prefer it again, thank you.

6/10 Good

This hostel was very aesthetically pleasing — the rooms were spotless and well-organized, and the showers were equally clean. However, I was disappointed by the amenities, especially considering the higher prices. There was no self-serve guest kitchen, which I’ve come to expect from hostels, as almost all I’ve stayed in provided one. Overall, everything felt a bit overpriced, and the setup didn’t offer much flexibility for guests to prepare their own meals. While the space itself was lovely, the value for money just wasn’t there for me.

4/10 Fair

A Queen Size bed in this hotel means your bed is 130x178cm. Which simply isnt queen size (those should be at minimum 140x180, even in a ho(s)tel). A huge amount of objects in the room were broken (chair, bedside table, lamp, fan). When adressing this with a staff member, we got laughed at and ended up calling hotels.com, who gave us good assistance and help. Eventually management switched us to a better room. Honestly this was notnworth the almost 800 euros it costz including breakfast. Which is also a waste of money. Do not get the breakfast here. Just go to a boulangerie, or the shop downstairs.
Chair you can't sit on.
This is the 'desk' you get with the room.
A fan without a stand. No clue why it was there.
130cm (yes I have a measuring tape with me, I knit and need one regularlyl
