    Bathrooms needed some cleaning (i.e. hair in the shower sinks). The location was central but very noisy at night, there were many people screaming on the street. I felt a bit unsafe to go out after sunset, as there were many druggies at the corner of the hostel.

    The staff was nice and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and they had plenty of options to prepare breakfast. Room was nice and beds comfortable. The market and supermarket are just around the corner.

    The pillows were uncomfortable. The room felt stuffy. The bathrooms could have been cleaned a bit more frequently.

    Excellent location, good breakfast, diverse atmosphere, great events almost every day. It’s easy to socialize there!

    We couldn’t have the bed we reserved ‘cause the place was sold out. It was a little uncomfortable.

    Just like being with a lot of friends. Over welcoming staff, unbeatable position and location.

    Some kind of shelf board for the top bunks would be amazing, so you could store the necessary close (e.g. glasses or phone) without fearing it'll fall down and hit the lower bunk. Also, a shower mat in the showers would be helpful.

    It's clean and organised and the staff is super friendly and helpful! Also, I even got a bed in a 4-bed dorm albeit having booked for a 6-bed.

    Snoring people in the room(((, but if you pay more and choose your private room, you will be totally fine. The washroom was without freshair, and bed sheets were not clear properly.

    I loved the atmosphere of the hostel. Staff is very friendly and helpful, and I so much enjoyed free karaoke, wine night, and party with our guaid. I didn't use any bus to go for tours which i had been alradu planned. Everything is heat this place. I will definitely be back yo this hostel. I totally recommend this place , especially who is going as a solo;).

    There is only one (1) micro in the kitchen which is very little for so many guests. The guests need to hand wash their dishes which is very good. But it is impossible to get them clean especially if you used oil on your food, as there are only cold water. Physical laws says you need warm water to fully remove grease.

    The atmosphere is very nice. The cleaning staff makes a very good job. The staff in the reception are very friendly and service minded. A lot of common areas exists, so you have plenty of space to sit and chat with other guests. The breakfast is good. I like that there are free dinner some nights, etc. The kitchen area is nice, but there are improvements that can be made. (See answer on my next question)
