Liked: What we really loved about this hostel was the fact the location was really great!! The staff was super friendly and the overal vibe was really relaxed!!

Disliked: The only thing that we did not liked during our stay in this hostel was the fact that mattresses needed to be changed (they were really thin). Other than that everything was great :)

Liked: This is a great place to stay in downtown. We were here before and decided to come back because we really liked it. Excellent connections by public transport and not too crowded. Good for people who want to rest because there is a wonderfull "silence policy". Nicolas is such a friendly and helpfull guy. Thanks a lot!

Disliked: We could say the breakfast is a bit simple but we have used to it :) Totally recommended

Liked: The location was excellent.

Disliked: We booked a night at this hostel and when we arrived they didn't have any idea about our reservation. I guess they don't check those things but more than once a day. The woman at the reception did find space for us in a room on the roof with a leaky ceiling. It rained all day. You do the math.

Liked: the location was very central to everything that i needed

Disliked: the lady told me that if i wanted to hang out.. after checking out.. even after paying to store my bags until 5pm that i would have to pay her 5 us dollars to hang out in a otherwise empty lobby.. the bathroom had no shower curtain, thus soaking wet floor, the rooms were loud and freezing

Disliked: The rooms. They didn´t offer much confort.

21 December 2010

Liked: Spacious, fairly clean bathrooms. Common area.

Disliked: Horrible, 3 cm thick mattresses, and pillows small enough to fit in your back pocket. Only 3 bathrooms in the whole hostel (had to wait an hour in the morning to take a shower), one of those being downstairs at the reception, so you kind of have to put on proper clothes before going there to take a shower in the morning unless you wanna scare all other guests having breakfast. Small rooms, only one portable small fan. Breakfast very very simple (toast and coffee). Reception staff not too friendly or helpful. Internet connection is so slow it's a joke to advertise having it.

Liked: Very good location smack in the City Centre, beautiful old house, clean.

Disliked: Only one bathroom for two dorms (16 beds in total) Either them or hostelbookers had messed up my booking so I didn´t have a reservation. Luckily they did have space for us. Staff doesn´t speak English, which is not a problem for me, but could be for other travellers. Definitely no party hostel but a nice and chilled-out place.

23 November 2010 Beau would recommend this property

Liked: Nice location, beautiful old building. Made a reservation for a nice tango show and had lots of helpful pamphlets lying around.

Disliked: Very narrow staircases. Didn't have 2 maps to spare to give to my friend and me, only 1 because "they don't have many maps" though there was clearly a large stack right next to us.

04 May 2010

Liked: The receptionist didnt speak english at all, so it was very difficult to communicate. Our room was on the 3rd floor and the stairs were so so soooo tiny and narrow that it was very difficult to carry our luggage upstairs. The shower and toilet on our floor didnt work also. So it was not a comfortable stay, although it was veeery central and there was one receptionist who dropped by sometimes and was very helpful and spoke english.
