Overall, the property was great and the people were fantastic. I would skip the breakfast for eight euros. You’re paying three times more for basic for coffee and croissants

What I like : facilities What I don’t like : rude staff. Inconvenient Luggage storage. You need an automatic button for the storage so we don’t have to waste time looking for key when your staff are always playing hide and seek. Unlike other hotels, reception is always away from the desk. You need someone sitting there for hours.

A great hostel truly one of the best

Arrived here around 5pm as my air b and b was a, single room with me sleeping on the floor so I decided to check out this hostel after a good friendv told me and reading the reviews I checked in it was easy the staff amazeing, room a little cramped sleeping areas clean roomy and a curtain for privacy I used the down stairs toilet as out toilet to our room was engaged. I stayed for one night had breakfast at 7.50 euros carnt fault it good selection of jucied bread cheese ham cereal ect. Also thier is a happy hour on the evening from 6 till 10. All in all a great stay.

1) Worst receptionists of all hostels. The guy saw I had been waiting for check in for a while, after he finally came back, he chose to work in kitchen instead. He never lifted a finger to help store luggage. He never bothered to tell me anything else other than room number. 2) The first time I ever heard from a hostel that to borrow a hairdryer you need to give your ID to receptionist (woman). My ID is worth more than 10 euros. 3) the shower is same as those in jail. 4) bear in mind, if you come back late at night, the bus can’t come because the bridge is blocked everyday at certain time. 5) their entrance has stairs. 6) overall everyone here is cold and rude. Else is ok.
