This review would be a 5 star if it wasn’t for the renovations. There was no bar, no restaurant and noise from the renovations during the day. I would definitely come back one their done. The location is awesome as well.

Juraj, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

First time staying at a hostel and this was clean, safe and respectful. I was aware they were under construction on the ground floor when booking, however visually upon arriving this was more extensive than I realised but it never disrupted my sleep. Convenient location and part of the hotel drop off options for airport bus transfers which was great.
Lauren, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great solo stay
The building is undergoing a little construction, so was a little difficult to locate and initially a little off putting. However, staff are friendly, facilities are clean and the rooms are comfortable. Great solo stay at a good price! Would stay here again.

Clean rooms and shower. Thomas was very helpful and accommodating. Unfortunately the property is under renovation so not much to do. Bed was very clean and comfortable.

Everything was really clean, organized, and staff was friendly, but a warning about how the hostel is in between construction would’ve been nice to know I walked past it a few times
