    Considering that this is a hostel, I think 66 euros per night with breakfast in a 6-bed room is too high price.

    It was wonderful! Thank you +so clean, safe, great and quite location near the canal, good kitchen, breakfast, beds are new - no bed curtains, also you can't sit straight on the bottom bed (+-) a little guide about hostel when checking in will be a good thing :)

    Two things. 1. The floor catches and tells how ppl are moving by sounds very delicately 2. You can say the same about the bed Other than that, it was nice place.

    I'm staying only for 2 nights and when i came back from walking my bed were taken away so I went down to ask why someone took it out, she said she thought i left already. First she could have check it first, second she said there was no bag left, I said I put it in the locker so she didn't even checked it. So I nee to make my bed again and I came back and forth for this which is unnecessary.

    I was in the 1st floor and i could hear the people in the upper floor (they were too noisy).

    The location was good, very spacious rooms, friendly staff, equipped kitchen, nice common room.

    Would love to have lockers be a little bigger to fit a medium bag in it, but it was still useful for valuable things :) The bunk beds are made of metal railings so they are sturdy but getting up and down the beds is a bit noisy, you would be a bit uncomfortable if you are a light sleeper, but nothing that can't be solved with earplugs

    Super good location, many small cafes near with terrific coffee and sweets, both vegan and non-vegan. The shared bedroom is spacious and clean, bunk beds are sturdy enough to not feel the movements when going up or down the higher bed, and the mattress is comfortable enough for a good sleep, the shared bathroom as well. The common area is clean, the kitchen very well equipped and provided with coffee and tea throughout the day. Staff is super nice too, including Max the cat :)

    There’s no type C socket at the bed only the usb one, also it would be better if there’s a curtain for each bed. But it’s good enough as there are a few power sockets in the room and we can use our own towel or scarf for more privacy

    Very good value for money! I do feel like home, the kitchen and shower is clean and the common area comfortable

    There are no lockers for big luggage and walls are a bit thin so you can hear people moving.

    It is close to center and good value for the price, quiet hours after 10pm which is great for people looking for a peaceful rest.

    Nice and centrally located

    I advise the hostel to assign beds on arrival. They give you the blanket and the sheets and you have to do your own bed, whichever you find free in your room. However, after I made my bed, and despite the fact that I left my stuff on it to signal it was mine, on my return I found another guy sleeping on it. The jerk also threw my stuff on the floor and he didn't move when I tried to wake him up. The hostel staff was nice to give me a bed in another room, and a complimentary breakfast for an incident that was not their fault. However I think, to avoid this happening next time, bed should be assigned and people keep the same bed if they stay multiple days.

    Nice hostel, centrally located, only 15 mins walk from the main attractions and in area packed with restaurants and cafe. The rooms are big enough for six people. I was in a room with the shower and the toilet on the floor, outside of the room, but it was comfortable using it. I really liked the lounge, cozy and quiet, and the breakfast.
