When asking for some information or help, night staff person behaves as if he has been burdened and isn't very happy to help. The inviting part is missing and looks as if he is doing some unnecessary task. Lane doesn't give a nice vibe and is very narrow.. One AC is not enough for 8 people comfortably sleep.

Reviewed May 11, 2026Breakfast was good. Rooms are clean. Location is good.
The volunteers are very rude. I do not appreciate how they spoke to us, and the "manager" of the restaurant literally snatched my paper out of my hand and was very aggressive over a GAME. Him and the volunteer were very weird and made what was a great experience unpleasant for the rest of the stay. My friend & I stayed for a week. The owner should be more thorough on who they allow to volunteer there. You never know who is passing through and I happen to have a great influence on social media, and yes I will be sharing it bc I do not like the disrespect that I recieved. Those people are a reflection of your business, please keep in mind. Other than that the actual staff were kind & accommodating.

Reviewed May 11, 2026It's just a bunch of 18-21 drunk kids staying there and a few couples. I couldn't fall asleep as the room was too hot and the fan was too noisy. The bathroom is gross and the smell horrendous. I also booked this room because the pictures showed a room with a window and I never got that. Those pictures are very misleading and should be changed. There were also 2 people having loud sex in the dorm, and the other 2 people decided to have sex in the bathroom. the only bathroom you have access to is the one in the room, so I had to go to the ground floor just to use the toilet and couldn't sleep at all. the whole place is just weird. it's definitely not built to be a party hostel even though they do it because you know the europeans kids couldn't go by without having it and they will pay for any type of shit that gives you a free beer and say pubcrawl. I never brought this up to reception because I was there for only 1 night and didn't have the energy to deal with anything

Reviewed May 11, 2026Perfect location to get around old town close to everything, beds were very comfy ! Free beer every evening , staff were friendly and helpful!
