15 June 2011 Sarah would recommend this property

Liked: Comfortable, good breakfast, good location, great shower!

Disliked: The kitchen wasnt open for use during the day. Also booked a female dorm and one night there were two guys in the room; I didnt query this at the time though so im sure they would have changed it if it was a big issue or me.

13 June 2011 Carly would recommend this property

Liked: Very clean, great location, free walking tour very cool. Always activities at night. Met cool people. Free Internet. Secure. Value for money- although being over 25 it cost €5 extra per night but worth it.

Disliked: One staff member not so friendly but others went out of their way to help.

02 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It's in a great location, if you are new to the city like I was. The walking tour given every day is fabulous, and it's free. I also heard good things about the bar crawl. The rooms are very clean and the computer access is really nice. Oh and free breakfast everyday!

Disliked: For me, it was not a very good place to meet people. There are different common areas all very far apart, and so it seems too large to be able to meet others. However, there are 6 people to a room - so it's a lot easier to meet people that way. The locker is small, and I wasn't able to keep my bag there which was very frustrating. The place is always really dark - which made it seem extremely hostile and unwelcoming.

01 June 2011 Danielle would recommend this property

Liked: It was spotless, the staff was friendly, the location is fantastic. Close to clubs but not too noisy, close to metro, close to shopping, close to cafes, easy 10min walk to Sol, clean shower and toilet, large lockers with a hanger even! Ironing room. I would have been happy paying a lot more for this quality hostel

Disliked: Nothing - they really did an outstanding job

30 May 2011 Terra would recommend this property

Liked: It was pretty easy to find, and the location wasn´t a long metro ride to the major sites. The rooms were clean and not too small and only had four beds per room with ensuit toilet and shower. Although I did not have time to go, they had a free city tour and events in the evening, which I thought was cool.

Disliked: The air conditioner was out in my room for one night, but besides that I disliked nothing.

03 May 2011 kathryn would recommend this property

Liked: The place was exceptionally clean, the front desk staffer was extremely friendly and helpful, giant bathroom (ensuite), it was safe, lockers. I thought the breakfast was good too, but the coffee was terrible. They had cereal, OJ, toast, and packaged pastries.

Disliked: Internet was very spotty (but they did have 5 computers there that may have been better). It was so big that it ended up being a little impersonal, but maybe that's because I didn't do any of the activities. Check-in not til 3. The extra 6 Euro fee for "adult" travelers. They could make the directions to the hostel better for people who don't have a map yet - I had a hard time finding it without one.

27 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The rooms are large and the beds are comfortable. There is also a large room with computers and free wifi for laptops.

Disliked: The breakfast wasn't great, but it was free. Also, they should probably assign specific bed numbers instead of just room numbers. Because when I went to go to bed, someone else was already sleeping in my bed.

Disliked: Nada

14 March 2011 Katherine would recommend this property

Liked: Everything was brand new and very clean. I felt compltely safe and the staff was extremely helpful. The pub crawl was great because I was traveling alone and got to meet people.

Disliked: This hostel is perfect, the only thing i disliked was the pub crawl took us to a really strange disco full of really sketchy people. But other than that, this hostel is perfect!

10 February 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This was a great hostel right in between the nightlife and the cultural side of the city. The staff were great, very informative and fun. The night of tapas and drinks that they organise was great fun especially as I was there at the weekend as a solo traveller, I highly reccomend going for this. The breakfast was good as well, definitely good value for money!

Disliked: I had travelled over night ariiving at 8:30/9:00 and couldn't check in until 3pm, this included not being able to use the showers.

27 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very clean and reasonably priced. The complimentary breakfast wasn't fantastic, but it was still appreciated.

Disliked: Hallways can be extremely echo-y and noisy, and the computers in the computer room could have been better.

Liked: Very Clean and tidy and secure

Disliked: Not so conducive to meeting other backpackers. Also, because it is government-owned, the hostel isn´t informed of the pub crawl and restauarant events that the other hostels are..

22 October 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Realy clean and safe

Disliked: I missed the typical hostel bar to meet new people, there is only a internet room.

14 October 2010

Liked: Very clean, but maybe too clean if thats possible. because it felt like we were staying in a hospital. Breakfast was wholesome.

Disliked: No sociable activities whatsoever and the establishment is so huge, catering for so many people, that you very rarely bump into people! There are so many different rooms for socialising that noone is actually able to properly socialise. The cleanliness and odour of the place makes it feel like a hospital and you stay in hospital wards.
