The place is clean, in the middle of the CBD, the people at the reception are friendly and always willing to help. The supermarket is two blocks away. I would recommend this place. :)
Cool place to stay. People inside the hostel make the whole place a better place. I met great people and generally had a very good time there. Kitchen is easy to use and has everything one needs. I sometimes had an unpleasant smell in my nose but this one wouldn‘t last too long. Thanks a lot!
Great atmosphere and really kind people 🇨🇵 thanks so much

Everithyng good ,i come back soon
Everything was perfect
My female dorm was good. There’s no curtains on the beds. So if you’re solo female I’d recommend a female dorm as lots of the guests are older men who are there long term so it’s a bit of a weird vibe. Bathrooms were fine, cleaned daily. Kitchen was good and clean aswell. Location was great, walking distance from sky tower and very central.
Great place, the stuff was friendly, bed and the floor is clean as well. Definitely will come back again!
Really nice place to stay, love the atmosphere
The accommodation environment is great, as it has been newly renovated, and the price is still the same as before the renovation. The Pizza Night every Tuesday is fantastic—the hostel provides free pizza, and I can meet lots of new friends.
I initially stayed in a dorm where, on one night, I ended up being alone in the room with an older long-term guest. During that time, he started some inappropriate conversations, which made me feel uncomfortable even after I said so. I decided to switch to a private room afterwards, where I felt much better. The hostel itself is otherwise well run and the owners are very friendly and helpful. However, there are several long-term guests, and in my experience, some interactions felt uncomfortable...
I liked a lot there. Really social, biggggg kitchen and the staff and regulars that stay there are really nice. The front door code is changed every monday for safety which is really nice. Bathrooms are alright, the showers don‘t have that much pressure and are a little weird to adjust regarding temperature but still fine. You‘re in the centre and there is a good coffee shop right beside the hostel. Not that cozy (bright lights and not many decorations) but has a lot of potential.
Totally worth the money. The location couldn’t be better, the bedrooms and facilities are all clean, and the staff is very kind. You don’t have to worry at all even if you arrive after 9 pm for check-in, they are prepared for that. I will Definitely come back again. In fact, I’ve already come back! This is my second visit.
Hostel sympathie et propre !
I spent three days at the hostel. It suprised me that there were a lot more men than women in the hostel. Overall the hostel was fine but mostly because of its location. It bothered me that the lift didn’t go to the bottom floor. I did see an older guy, I think he was called Ian, clean the kitchen every morning. Very clean after.
Komische, alte, betrunkene Männer sind da unterwegs. Duschen nicht wirklich sauber. Armeisen im zimmer. Leute schlafen mit schuhen im Bett. Hab mich nicht wohl gefühlt.
Great hostel, the staff are very friendly. The rooms are very clean and the facilities are great. Highly recommend staying here.
Very good hostel
