Great hostel. Theres a bar downstairs that is super lively and fun. It was clean and in a great location. My only complaint is that one staff member (brown hair with chunky blonde highlights) was extremely rude and disrespectful towards us when we needed assistance. She made us feel very unwelcome and uncomfortable.

The hostel was in a very useful location but we had multiple relatively frustrating experiences during our stay. The main one is that the key cards to access our room regularly stopped working (multiple times a day) and the reception was rarely staffed. We had to wait ~30mins multiple times to get our cards reset. While we waited, many other clients would come to the desk and give up. There was no way to contact staff to inform them we were waiting (not even a bell). The bunk beds aren't fixed ...

Loved this place but the walls were just so thin!! I could hear the person in the room over turning in bed, so definitely bring some earbuds and a sleep mask, as the curtain situation isn’t the best. Although it in a great place and the staff was lovely

A localização é muito boa, o bar é bem agitado e legal. O ambiente é ótimo. O chuveiro também é muito bom. Mas o quarto deixa a desejar um pouco, o chão é de madeira então faz muito barulho quando pisamos, conseguimos ouvir o barulho do andar de cima também. Você tem que pagar pela toalha e pelo uso do secador, o qual eles devolvem no checkout. Não gosto muito quando temos que fazer a cama, mas ok. Agora até o cobertor temos que coloca na capa, acho que preguiçoso da parte do...

Amazing hostel. We stayed in a 6person bedroom with a bathroom. It was open spaced, clean and very well organized. The water pressure was amazing. We loved that the toilet was separated. Amazing stay, would definitely come back!!

Great option for a cheap place to stay. We were in a 6 bed and our beds were not bunks but also didn’t have curtains like the other beds which was a little unnerving. The floor was also pretty dirty when we arrived. Linens were fresh though and the laundry facilities were very convenient.

+ Friendly staff, clean in all areas, relaxed vibe

- More options for single room occupancy would be great. Sharing with others was ok, but I had to be up early for my train and I didnt want to disturb my room mates early in the morning, so I didn't get a shower (not ideal)

+ l est situé en centre-ville, les lits et les draps sont propres, le personnel est agréable, le chauffage est très efficace et l'intérieur est calme.

- La nuit, le quartier n'est pas vraiment paisible ; un bruit infernal provenant de l'extérieur persiste tard dans la nuit. Ce dernier point est très important.
