7.0

The location is excellent, the neighbourhood is lovely. The room was very clean.

− Lots of noise from outside, but thats not really the hostels fault. There was a ton of ladybugs in our room; which arent the worst bugs to have but it was a little odd

Чистая комната, много сунузлов на коридоре, большая оснощенная кухня.

− Попали под дождь и не нашла место где просушить вещи. Мне не хватало крючков в номере, повесить полотенце после душа было некуда.

A pleasant surprise.

10.0

The hostel was spotlessly clean and well decorated. It was a lovely quiet stay. I felt safe staying there.

− The stairs 😂

A great experiance, would stay again!

8.0

Everything was clean, great facilities, location was excellent and transport was super easy. Kitchen was well equiped, tea/coffee, games books.

− The beds are hard, cheap and needed another pillow. Other guests can be very noisy as its not very soundproof but those are my only two issues.
