The location is good but ....stupid that the doors are locked after 10 minutes!!, never seen before!! they should have another way of security like lockers or so like in every hostel , so at the end people gets fed up of the doors and leave then OPEN so it is definately even the contrary no secure at all. also they should not leave people living there for so long like some of the brazilians at that moment they look as if the kitchen belongs to then, some made bad and strange atmosphere there. bad beds uncorfortable!!, showers dirty, you have to ask,wash and bring back your dishes and who says are they clean?! not higienic at all...breakfast means nothing, only one good thing the brazilian receptionist and the chef are very good but he should pay more atention to this details & facts.nice man though

The location is good, the organized party till 6 am was fun and the public place with kitchen / refrigerator / internet was very nice. We met some people at the hostel what brought a lot of fun!

Its very very close to the centre and easy to find. The staff are really helpful and the club on the saturday night is suprisingly good. The room was a bit cramped, and if we handnt been in such a large group and had most of the beds in the room I think I would have enjoyed it less.

While cheap and conveniently located, you definately get what you pay for. For two nights of our stay there was no running water in the bathrooms....none at all, And the 'free' breakfast was the worst of any hostel I've yet encountered - a loaf of bread, butter, cornflakes, and milk, without even juice or water. But, for the price, I still think it was worthwhile. It is fairly safe, fairly clean, and very lively and conveniently located. 2 of the 3 staffmembers we encountered were very polite and helpful.

Affordable, no-frills hostel, in a fantastic location; staff, the front-desk persons, and manager, Alberto, were excellent and very friendly. Made me feel like part of a family. Showers had warm water.

The other people staying there were really nice. The location was great, right in the center of town. The bathrooms could use some help, and one of the days I couldn´t take a shower because no water would even come out of the shower head. Its run by all Germans.
