It actually hurts a bit that this hostel got some bad reviews... Fine it's not the cleanest but if you stayed in hostels before you find this is what you get from most places! This hostel is build to meet people and have a good time. If you'r straying in hostels for an other reason you got the wrong idea!... More

The hostel is clean and is in an excellent location. There is a 'party' room downstairs and the staff make sure you are having fun by giving out free alcohol. This place is amazing to stay if you are in the city for a few days and want to have a great time and meet some cool people.

It had good location and good rooms. also the activities and dance floor are great. If you like to dance and meet people from around the worls, this is a good place. The only thing I didn't like is the dirty bathrooms

I spent 4 days at the hostel with my girlfriend a month ago, and the hostel is ok. There are some great things about the hostel like the location, the prices aren't bad at all and the stuff is helpful and friendly. But there were also things that I didn't enjoy so much but they might not be a problem... More
