Liked: Every night of the week there is a planned night out. The lock system to get into the hostel is very good. It is walking distance to most sights. The hostel is permanently being cleaned.

Disliked: There is nothing to dislike. If anyone writes bad comments here they must have had an unfortunate experience as I was there for 9 nights and this is a very nice and friendly hostel despite the fact it is quite large.

Liked: clean facilities, huge locker, helpfull staff! unfortunately i didn't meet any other travellers there, because i only stayed there for sleeping, but the common area was very noisy and they seemed to have a lot of fun ;-) over all a nice place to stay, right next to the metro!

Disliked: the air condition was right next my bed, so it got cold during the night.
