18 September 2011 John would recommend this property

Liked: The location was good with easy access to the underground and shops, bed was comfortable, and the food quite adequate..

Disliked: the 5th floor men's shower room was out of order so had to go down to the 4th floor where the inlet pipe to the urinals was leaking which meant having to wade in for a pee. Two of the washing machines were faulty, and the top left-hand drier doesn't heat up properly.

Liked: I really appreciated all the services and activities, particularly the in house bar and cafe with free internet.

Disliked: The property seems to only have bunk beds and there are no private showers. So if you are looking for a hostel with more intimate or private apartments this is not for you. However, if you enjoy the dorm lifestyle, this is a great place.

Liked: Clean bathrooms, clean and tidy rooms, security available 24 hours and carefully solve all the possible tricky situations. Thank you very much, it was very nice!! Best regards, Dina Kruchina

Disliked: Nothing special. Perhaps that the window of the room was looking directly in the street where people were smoking, but actually it was not a big problem after I finally fell asleep :)

Liked: O hostel é próximo ao metro e a equipe é extremamente atenciosa.

Disliked: O café da manhã não é bom, todos os dias tem festa até de madrugada e as portas dos quartos vizinhos batem a noite toda, então para familias e casais que preferem curtir mais os passeios diurnos é complicado. os babheiros são coletivos (feminino e masculino), porém a disivão não é respeitada e homem também toma banho no banheiro feminino. Tudo é cobrado, por exemplo: não tem tomada no quarto e sim uma máquina para carregar no saguão e paga-se para utilizá-la.
