Staff was very nice and friendly. Many good restaurants and cafes close by Walkable to museums, tivoli, parks, shopping etc. Was very loud in the evening sometimes until 3:00/4:00 in the morning - my room was facing the street. I used a white noise app and that helped alot.

Stayed in the private single room with bunk bed. The room was more than enough for one person. Excellent location to explore the city, especially if you're only staying a couple of days. I was on the first floor and could hear everything going on in the square and bar downstairs, very loud music until 5am most nights. Ask for a room on upper floors if you want to avoid the ruckus.

Do not stay here. After booking I sent a message to Hostel asking for available check-in hours because I was informed there’s no late check-in, but not informed what time is late. I never received a response from Hostel, even after following up with another message. Reception is at the back of the bar, but this is not clear. Reception is not staffed anyway; kiosks for self check-in. Hostel advertises elevator and 6 floor building. However, you must go up 5 steps before you can access the elevator and then it goes only to the 5th floor, not 6th. Elevator inspection ticket expired May 2025. Hostel claims they have a kitchen, but it consists of a few dishes (plates, no bowls, glasses, no mugs, a few utensils) and a couple refrigerators. Beware: half the dishes in clean stack are dirty. I found food stuck on “clean” plates every morning I was here. No sink in “kitchen” so if you need to wash your hands or food, you must go upstairs to the bar bathroom for closest sink. Only 2 toilets, 2 sinks, and 3 showers for over 36 people on the floor. Safety issue:!! Everyone intuitively turns the door handle to get out of the room. That does not work. You need to turn the little knob above the handle - in the opposite direction than is intuitive- to get out of the room. There should be a label informing people of this. There are signs in the bathroom that say “we’re here to help. Contact us on WhatsApp at this number“. The number is not on WhatsApp!!!

Nice place, reasonable price. Very well located all amenities near by. Bar downstairs so expect the vibe to lively and a bit noisy. Construction out front, would come make some noise early in the morning and be gone before i got outside. Ha ha, likely due to weather. The place was fine, small but functional. However, not a ritzy hotel.

The lockers are under the beds. Some beds have smaller lockers. Sometimes the check in can be delayed. They offered me a free locker. But the stairs to the lockers is a path to inferno: it’s narrow and steep, including ups and downs.

Pretty bad, actually!!!

Terrible beds, the private bathroom was a mystery, you had to shower from a stationary shower head over the toilet. They charge you extra for the towels and the digital checking was a nightmare. They have a nightclub downstairs so forget about getting a good night sleep. Very expensive for the kind of service.
