Used a while ago.I only stayed for one night, but the mattress on the bed was broken.I was so tired that I didn't have the energy to go and tell the staff, so I fell asleep.I was disappointed because I had a lot of hesitation before deciding on this place.

Stylish Hostel with a very nice cafe/bar on the bottom floor. The common room has everything you need and the rooms are quite basic. The lockers are super small though and there is not much space for your backpacks.

I only came for the bar so I cannot speak on the actual stay. With that being said, the drinks are cheap and the bartender was extremely friendly. He knew a good bit of english and gave me some recommendations. Great vibe!
