Wifi in room was 78 upload / 80 download. Free water. Its a simple place to stay to sleep. Not social much. Close to tourist area and public transport. ***Take note of THESE directions to get there: from the tram stop, walk to "Subway" nearby it (the sandwich place). You'll see next to it a set of marble stairs. Take the left one. When you go up, you'll see a tall apartment building that says "BAHAR 5" above the doors. Thats your entrance!

La ubicación es excelente muy cómodo para caminar a todos lados. Pero el personal no muy ayudador y el ambiente incómodo. Pareciera que todos viven ahí o llevan mucho tiempo. Pero lo peor de todo eran las cucarachas, estaban en todos lados era asqueroso, abrías el microondas y salían cucarachas al igual que el cajón de cubiertos, las ollas etc.

I felt pretty uncomfortable during my stay here. It’s not your typical hostel. It’s like an apartment that people turned into a hostel. They didn’t have security lockers which was the biggest issue. As a traveller who carries laptops, iPads, iPhones, etc. To not have security lockers is not acceptable. And no curtains, and loud people who are staying there long term. I wouldn’t stay here again

Prime location, walking distance from Tram and metro. The person that takes care of the property is really hard working, wish I could mention her, but sadly I forgot her name. Apologies! The best view out of the window from the common area as you enter the hostel. My only concern was, since there's just one person taking care of the property, there were some perks. Also, the show rack placement is little weird, as it was right in the middle of the rooms.

L'organisation, l'ambiance, la sécurité n'était pas vraiment au rendez-vous, mais l'auberge est très bien placée et pas cher, donc c'est ok.

I wish the hostel took better care of their staff. The staff-lady was sleeping on the floor in front of my private room that I booked. At first I was unfomfortable that I had to pass a sleeping person on the floor to access my room, but later I just felt bad for her. Her mattress took most of the corridor floor space, so I even had to walk carefully to my room in order not to touch her. The owner of the hostel could at least give their staff a normal room where to sleep. Everything else was ok.

The property had a stunning view, but was otherwise disappointing. There was no hot water during my 3 night stay. The staff cleaned the apartment well, but the hostel ceiling, vents and even light fixtures looked and smelled very moldy. It seemed quite outdated.

It’s not a backpacker. It’s a unit . Shower broke , the girl who work in there no polite person at all. One day she invited her friends to drink and listen music till midnight pretty much . Never again,

Franchement tout est au top. l'emplacement est super (piscine disponible + plage à 10 mn à pieds) personnelles au top (surtout la managére la-bas annissa elle s'occupe de tout comme si c'était sa maison). Je le recommande 10/10.
