14 February 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: nice ppl.

Disliked: Its located in factory area, and straight from our windows there was a metal box cleaning faculty, meaning they would use a truck to drop huge metal boxes to bigger metal box and wash it there. U can imagine the noice. from 6am to 9pm. Its not so bad when you get use to it. :)

11 February 2011 Alexandre would recommend this property

Liked: it's the first hostel I ever seen with so friendly atmosphere! Really nice common lobby with open fire, library and TV, and coolest capsule bed where you can feel yourself absolutely private. May be it is not the choice for clubbing etc., but for relax during the trip it's the best. Definitely I will return here.

Disliked: mmm... may be that the lobby is closed during the night

30 January 2011 Jessica would recommend this property

Liked: I loved the atmosphere and the fact that there is so many things to do in the common area. It feels like the staff care about the place and I felt at home very quickly. I enjoyed that they encourage people to take part in the decoration... it makes me as a guest feel like I am part of the place rather than a "guest". It's a great place to share in a community and It's nice to see that people take ownership by doing things like going their own dishes or simply respecting the other people in the hostel.

Disliked: I think it is important to have better windows installed, I could hear everything outside, there was a crack and cold air was coming in . I wasn't cold because of the comfy blanket and the heater. but I think that they would save on heating if they updated the windows.

27 January 2011 Michael would recommend this property

Liked: Great staff! Spent more than an hour talking to one of the Hungarian guys who run the place after getting home from a night out, great bloke, really knows what he is talking about.

Disliked: The downstairs showers were ice cold, had to wait till the single upstairs shower was free. Once I got in the shower was small, a tad dodgy and had no pressure. And the rooms smelled a bit, but that could have been because There were 4 other guys in my room.
