The hostel was very clean and well maintained. Rooms were tidy, bathrooms were regularly cleaned, and everything felt fresh and comfortable. A great stay overall.
The hostel is clean and tidy. The rooms are spacious and quiet. The only problem is the kitchenette which is too small and almost always has a line of guests waiting to use it.
I was quite amazed how good the hostel was, as I did not expect much for the price I paid. This is a brand newly opened hostel, so the rooms are really like pictures! Showers and toilets are clean enough. They have an elevator from the reception, first few steps to reception are stairs only. Downstairs there is a communal place with shared kitchen, simple but effective for a quick meal.
Great location. Shared community room, sometimes you need to wait before the kitchen is free. Elevator is accessible from reception, but to get there are couple of stair steps to overcome first. Rest fine.
Location is just across the subway, very convenient! I slept great in the pods. Ofcourse there is some sound around you, as it is a hostel, but the pod is quite good in filtering the sound.The personnel is friendly, we could leave our luggage at check out so we could have a Korean lunch at POCHA next to the hostel. Great stay, recommended for solo traveler or a group of friends.
A dubbelthin matras and l had a very good sleep, after a day of stress.
I didn't like the stairs at the entrance to the reception. Avery hospitality coworker had help me with my folted bike. Thank you so much for a nice stay and kindness!

Every thing was OK. Clean bed. Bathroom also. Something diffrent
I have never slept in a pod before, but it was really quite comfortable. You had your own cubicle with a curtain for privacy. Room and bed were clean. There were enough toilets and showers. So I was positive surprised. I was with one friend, but if you are with more I would recommend to get a smaller room where you can all sleep together. Personnel was friendly, a no nonsense hostel. And ofcourse the best plus point is that you are literally one doorstep away from the subway and tram public transport.
Not a terrible idea staying there for a couple of nights, but after that it would be little uncomfortable to share spaces with so many people especially those who throw their luggage in the corridor. Everything else.. you get what you pay.
It wasn't bad for a cheap hostel, it was rather dirty, especially the common area, and there was no respect for quietness either in the common area or in the sleeping area, with people blaring music, phone calls. People were washing their clothes in the bathroom sinks. The beds themselves are also rather strange to enter. You aren't near any convenient public transport.
I did not receive a towel either, and the showers are very low quality, unable to get hot water, or to have the water pour for longer than a couple seconds at a time.
The Area around the property wasn't the greatest. While you were near a touristy area, there was also a lot of suspicious people walking around. In the evening and at night there was obvious street racing, and non-stop motorcycle revving.
For the Price, I got what I expected, but do not expect more than that.
I recently stayed at CoolDocks in Rotterdam and had a really enjoyable time. It’s a relatively new, modern hostel right in the heart of the city, which makes it super convenient for exploring the main sights, nightlife, shops and cafés, all within walking distance.
