Immaculately clean! Our room was spotless with very comfy beds and soft linens
We didnt use the kitchen but its a good size and looks like it has everything you need.
There is laundry access and a little attic mezanine with sofas and a tv if you want somewhere to hang out.
Excellent central location right in the center of the action with oodles of bars and restaurants on your doorstep - about 3 mins from the cable car and the main bus area as well and just minutes from the sea and waterfront
The staff were warm, friendly and very helpful with lots of local knowledge.
It is of course a hostel so theres a little noise from other guests but nothing to dwell on.
(Worth noting theres stairs up to the reception and to the first floor so be mindful if you've got bad knees! 😂)
We loved our stay here and I plan on booking here again for my mum when she comes to visit!
I had a really nice time in this hostel. The staff is super nice, it's very conveniently located and clean. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe in the city and at this hostel (in a mixed dorm).

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
As solo traveler I stayed in the “Blue dormitory” where the old wooden floor is very noisy and the beds are very weak - you can feel every single movement of the person above or beyond you. It’s a big old house in historic centre of the city.
