Liked: Clean, fun bar, great common area, renovated bathrooms, comfy and warm beds, AMAZING staff - very helpful, sweet, cheerful

Disliked: not in the greatest part of town. females traveling alone should be advised that you absolutely shouldn't be out by yourself in this area at night. before heading out one evening a staffer "forbade" us from taking any of the side streets, this was a little scary.

04 April 2011 Sophie would recommend this property

Liked: Great proximity to the train station (2 minutes walk!) and the centre of town (10 minutes walk through interesting little streets, and really close to the Capucins market). Also had good access to bus and tram routes. The rooms were clean and tidy, the staff were extremely helpful and happy (even at 6am!) and the kitchen was very well equipped.

Disliked: It would be good if the hostel had self storage lockers, but the baggage room was always locked and at least is was somewhere to leave luggage.

25 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. This is the coolest hostel I've ever stayed in, buckets of style! The breakfast was 5€ but worth it and the Internet didn't drop out on me once, which is amazing for a hostel. The location was just a few steps from the main station, so very convenient. You can easily take the metro down to the city centre and old port from the main station. Recommend to all!

Disliked: No complaints!
