The hostel is very nice, cosy and colourful. I love the fact they separate waste so thoroughly:) I could check in even a bit earlier then it was written. Kitchen and bathroom were very clean. Location is peaceful and 15 or maybe 20 min away the city center. There is also a big shop close by.

1. I support sustainability and recycling with all my heart, but when teflon pans and pots are falling apart, they are not to be used anymore. 2. A truly delightful experience when some staff came into the dorm at 2am and was anything but quiet. Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Very nice vibe in the hostel! I just stayed for one night but everyone was friendly it was clean, the bed was already made and quite comfortable, nice terrasse, clean bathrooms. Would recommend if the price is a bit lower and if you stay for more than 1 night I think it would be easy to meet nice people!

I had the upper bed of a bunk bed and there was no night table to put your things next to the upper bed ( in my case a water bottle which was at risk of falling down the whole night). I was in the mixed sleeping room with 10+ people. It was quiet no question, everyone was respectful but I think the price of 34euros for one night is too high for these conditions.

The terrace is quite nice. There were not that many people staying at the hostel at the time, so it was rather peaceful. It was not too far away from the city center by foot, and it's very close to TYPA.

The code for entering after 10 pm is changed often. This makes sense and I don't have any problem with that. But one day I was informed of the new code only because I happened to stay until lateish in the afternoon in the terrace. Had my plan been to leave early and return late at night that day, I wouldn't have known of the new code, which would have been quite bothersome.

I stayed there with my family in a family room with a kitchenette and a private bathroom. This is a simple place, but cosy, clean and with all that's needed to spend a night and cook a breakfast. The nearest supermarket is like 5-10 minutes from the place.

I've taken 1 point off only because the place is probably too basic to score "exceptional", but so long that you accept what's in the images, there is not a single problem!

It was a surprise that you need to go up to the 3rd floor with luggage, and there is no elevator. Thanks to the responsive administrator Katrina, who helped my mother lift the suitcase, and in the morning organized help with the descent. Thank you! The room was very nice, with nice furnishings and an authentic balcony! It was very helpful to have tea and coffee in the room. We will definitely come again!

No elevator.

Great chill hippie atmosphere, all amenities in perfect order, late night check in available and went very well, helpful staff, just generally a setting for a great time

Too loud at night, but that's the fault of me being cheapskate and booking a spot in the big common room. Extremely creaky door to the sleeping room, which doesn't close properly does make it worse though

Katrina in reception was excellent - very friendly and helpful. Hostel is very close to the railway station , a supermarket, and town hall square. We were able to bring our bicycles in and lock them under the stairs which was great.Heating good.. Enjoyed our stay here.

Apartment is dowdy and old, could do with brightening up, lighting was poor. Like a student flat- but it is a hostel!!

All clean, friendly staff. Also bed were very comfy. Very great location. And this is my 4th or 5th time at this place, and I will go there again. Also liked that last time I say that internet isn`t working in lower level rooms- this time they offer device for better internet in room if needed.

In bathroom (12 room) need some shelfs or more places where hang things. We used one of rooms chairs for cloth placing while shower, And for beds stairs there is some missing screws - stairs moving and making noise.

It's an Eco hostel. They make a lot of effort to keep it that way and also try to educate you (you can read it while sitting on the toilet). Everything looks really cute. Location is good, near the train station. Cute rooftop terrace where you can dry clothes/towels. Staff is nice and helpful. It's clean!

No (dark) curtains, so it gets bright very early. It's on the 3rd floor, no elevator, which might be a problem for some people. On some beds you can really feel the springs of the mattress which is not that comfy.

Such an eclectic place full of interesting things and happiness. Lots of different areas, well appointed and roomy kitchen, plenty of facilities, towels for a euro and a computer!

A lot of beds in one room so a big noisy but it’s a hostel and it works. I had a little storage area behind my bed and a plug and side table . Up three flights of stairs.
