Everything was wonderful at our stay. Our communication with our host was easy, and the facilities were great. Our only issue was the squeakiness of the beds. They made it a bit difficult when sharing a room with others.
Having never stayed in a hostel, I was not real sure it was the right thing for me. I am a 76 year old woman, single and thought it would be noisy and more appropriate for a 20-30 year old. To my surprise there were guests of all ages, from all over the world. My stay was very pleasant!
I stayed in a mixed shared dorm room another risky move by me however it was great with 3 women and 1 young man from Austria.
It wasn’t the cleanest place. The bed was so creaky. It was relatively quiet.

Liked: Staff & service
Advertised as having ac but the property doesn’t have AC at all. I asked to leave and get a refund but no refund receipt was provided. I hope everything goes accordingly to plan and they get the ad corrected.
Loved finding a unique/alternative friendly place to stay that was also very comfortable and offered a variety of accommodation for those that enjoy the side streets..
Never been so disappointed. Would not suggest this place to anyone.
Needless to say we booked another hotel.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This is not the room I reserved. The facility was dilapidated, and two dogs were constantly barking in the whole house while staying in the room next to mine.
The front desk service was friendly and fast check in. None of the couches were not comfy to sit on - it’s the only thing I’d suggest get upgraded. The bed was very comfortable. Guests were nice friendly people.
