Read some bad reviews before the trip. But actually my experience was top-notch! We had a private room with separate private toilet. (including schampoo/conditioner and body lotion). Linen and towels were included. A beautiful private balcony! The building has lots of charme, the location is super-central and staff’s amazing. Big, modern, clean kitchen available. With storage in fridge/freezer.

Hip Karma Hostel was a great place to stay! We were a group of 14 people so booked the 8 bed and 6 bed rooms (both private - only us). The bathrooms are shared with everyone in the hostel but we had no issues with this - they were kept clean and tidy, and no queues. The only issue we had was that you have to pay for bedding (not included on booking), and even though we booked the whole room, we weren’t allowed a key to the bedroom. The person at reception had to keep opening the bedroom door for us every time. Luckily there is someone on reception 24/7, but for security reasons, it was a bit uncomfortable as anyone could say they are in that room. But overall, a great stay and would come again as a big group.

Amazing property. It is over a metro line, so there is a little vibration/noise when the train runs. Only negative. Staff is excellent and property is very clean. Rooms and bed are new and clean. Good mattresses.

Tivemos uma estadia excelente. Ficamos no quarto com banheiro privativo e era tudo muito confortável e de ótima qualidade. A vista do quarto era boa, as camas e as cobertas eram muito confortáveis. O hotel disponibilizou produtos de banho de ótima qualidade. A cozinha é completa e muito organizada. A recepção é 24h e os recepcionistas são muito simpáticos e prestativos. Pudemos deixar nossas malas após o check-out para passear antes do nosso voo. A localização também é excelente, perto do metrô e de um supermercado, além de vários mercadinhos e lojas. Pudemos fazer muitos dos passeios a pé.

Die Unterkunft ist super zentral und man kann einige Sehenswürdigkeiten super zu Fuß erreichen. Es war sauber und auch die geteilte Küche wurde stehst ordentlich hinterlassen. Das Fenster war leider sehr schwer zu schließen, weswegen es Abzug bei der Unterkunft gibt, sonst hat es uns sehr gut gefallen.

The staff was amazing and let us leave our luggage in our room until 20min past our check-out time since it was more convenient for us given our flight time. They problvide absolutely everything and the check-in and check-out process was extremely simple. Very well located as well so we were able to walk to most spots

Wir hatten ein Dreibettzimmer mit einer Terrasse/Zubau und waren super zufrieden, das Zimmer war nicht direkt im Hostel, wo die Schlafsäle sind, sondern neben an und dort war es sehr ruhig und wir hatten genügend Platz. Alles was man benötigt war da, aber unser Highlight war der im Zimmer gelegende Zubau mit Glasfronten zum öffnen, wo man die Abende perfekt verbringen konnte. Öffentliche Anbindung war perfekt, wir würden immer wieder buchen.

Interdit aux familles

Bonjour, attention bien qu’ayant une chambre privative, on nous on a annoncé à l’arrivée que c’était interdit aux enfants de moins de 10ans… après discussion nous avons pu prendre notre chambre mais avec menace d’être mis à la porte au moindre bris… ce qui est particulièrement ironique puisque nous avons souffert du bruit la nuit des chambres voisines. Enfin, il faut payer draps et serviettes en plus ! Bref ce n’était pas le bon plan

Want sheets? That’s an extra charge. A Towel, that’s extra too. Want to secure your items in the locker, use the laundry? All that’s extra. All you get is a bed and mattress for the cost. There are 3 Toilets and sheets for men and 3 for women, so when the hostel is full you will have to wait.
