    The dorm I slept in was near the bar and it was really noisy at night. It has been a while since I stayed in a hostel and a bit more of an explanation for the towels and the breakfast would have been nice.

    The breakfast was really good, the wifi as well. The location was amazing and the hostel was really good. I slept in a dorm with 3 other women. I loved that there was a curtain tot close of the bed. It created privacy.

    I slept in a 4-bed room with an attached bathroom. I didn't like the fact that some of the lockers were in the bathroom, so you had no access as soon as someone else occupied the bathroom. In addition, there was only one locker for a large suitcase for the entire room. The room could have been a bit more practical overall (shower curtain, curtains and thus blocked door). Breakfast was really not good, I recommend to eat in one of the Cafés near the hostel.

    I really liked the style of the hostel. Especially that the dormitories were all located around the inner courtyard. There was a bar and drinks all day long, and there was always something going on - a great place to connect or just sit and work. I also liked the cleanliness and the social activities on offer, such as a daily pub crawl.

    Check in took forever. I've been checking after 10pm and there was group of 50 or 60 before me that they had to check in so 2 of staff were occupied with it and left 1 visibly less experienced colleague to check in rest of guests. Spend like half an hour in queue and being checked in. Felt like they could managed this better. Also mind the room was on 1st flooor from bsckyard where the party was going on till midnight. It's fine, but would be great if mentioned somewhere on platform that it can be noisy close to weekends. When choosing room on booking you can possibly see it as well. Would be great if they actually update pics for specific room. This are though small details.

    Very friendly staff. Place with great vibes if you are looking for engaging space. Mind if you are looking for quiet space where you can relax in quiet and peaceful place with ambience that is not place for you. If you want to have people around to engage with, looking for good design apart from just bed, then it's right place. Plenty of area out of room to hang out. The ensuite room itself was huge and comfortable. Can easily imagine spending there weeks and not be bored of it as it's fully functional. Beautiful colours, great bathroom. Some furnitures had marks of being tired already but still in great condition.

    The bar is located in the courtyard where most of the rooms look onto. They played music until midnight. Then at 5AM the room below us played music too. I didn’t get much sleep.

    The place is nice, the vibes are great.

    Terrific and helpful staff Inviting vibe Good location Bunk amenities were thoughtful - including small cabinet and personal mirror . BUT they need to be paired different colour than bunks. Two women hurt themselves seriously when they hit their heads against corner of box frame

    I stayed in a dorm with 15 beds and it was full. Some people were complaining as 15 capacity is too much for a not so large room. There are 3 level bunk beds which I think is the downside.

    Good location and the vibe is cool. Staff are all warm and welcoming. The wifi is fast. The free walking tour is amazing. All worth it! 😊😊😊😊

    The rooms overlook a bar in the main courtyard can be loud up till 11/11.30 when they turn the music off. Didn’t bother me, but if you wanted a really quiet place consider that.

    Big rooms. Cube type bunk beads and curtains for added privacy! Very clean.

    Some improvements could be made for the private room I stayed in: the curtain didn’t cover all the window so light enters the room early in the morning. The room was quite cold, no heater available and they could install a security box, that could be helpful.

    The atmosphere, the staff was very nice and the location is really perfect.

    One of the walls is basically just windows and everyone can see inside unless you use the drapes. Could be a little noisy and bright for some people but it was no problem for us.

    The room was big enough and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was good and they even prepared a breakfast package for us when we had to leave earlier.

    The rooms were very small, a bed and a small bathroom but for just exploring and sleeping it was fine. However, one word of warning for couples in their 40s, the rooms open on to the outdoor common area, this means the night can be quite loud with noise from the bar. So if you need a quiet space for drifting off at night, this isn't ideal!

    Really nice place, very friendly vibe, had a student accommodation feel to the common area. Great breakfast, comfortable beds.

    Long wait for breakfast as it is a plated service and not self service buffet.

    Fab and groovy, hip and trendy, I can understand why this place is a bit “marmite”. It’s run by interns and the rooms are basically 58 12 sqm boxes set around a courtyard that has a “Beach bar”. You will either live the trendy vibe or hate the noise at night!
