Fantastic location, but the rooms are breakable. The plug doesn't work, neither does the safe. The receptionist is very friendly.

Great place and great location right in the red light district. However the bathroom in my particular room has seen better days. Had a good stay here nevertheless.

We were three friends who booked a triple room with private bathroom, and were very happy with our choice. The newish bathroom was clean and tastefully decorated, as was the fairly tight bedroom. Great beds. …

The room was clean, but not particularly comfortable. The bathroom, on the other hand, was very nice. The breakfast is not worth the price. But the location is ideal.

Good hostel with rooms even with 2 beds. Excellent location, staff seen only at the reception, friendly... the rooms could be cleaner, mattresses not too comfortable.

Very nice staff. Great location, but I recommend wearing earplugs. Since you are in the center or heart of the city, it is a bit louder. Also be careful walking up and down the stairs.
