Great location, friendly staff and good rooms with storage and private curtain. It's a shame I was rudely awakened by someone in my room at the early hours, who caused no end of grief, but this was no fault of the hostel and risk you take w/ hostels. Unexpected 5euro breakfast was a bonus and great value for money. Lively sports bar downstairs and plenty to do for loners wanting to join large groups with daily events etc. Excellent transport links outside hostel grounds

The hostel is in a really good location, but the rooms are somewhat lackluster. The paint was peeling in some spots, and the lights did little to light them up. The bar is generally pretty good, and you get some good discounts as a guest, but it doesn't really makeup for the rooms. The breakfast is mediocre, even by hostel standards. The showers also don't have a place to put clothing, and since the water pressure is so high everything gets wet. It's not horrible, especially if you're only there for a night and aren't spending a lot of time indoors, it just isn't great either.

I do not recommend the hostel to solo travellers. There is no good shared space to meet people.

I stayed in the hostel for 4 nights in August 2022. The big disadvantage of the hostel is that there is no good shared space to meet people. The only common space is the sports bar downstairs - but this is a public sports bar which is open to everyone, so not only for backpackers at the hostel. The bar is furthermore not inviting to hang out, its a sports bar, so there are all kind of televisions and old middle aged drunk soccer fans. So the atmosphere is very different from a backpacker atmosphere, and it is very hard to meet fellow backpackers.

There is also no kitchen, or shared fridge etc. In general, the hostel is quite commercialized, for example, you need to pay to store your luggage in lockers.

The hostel is massive: many floors with many dorm rooms. It has potential. But not if there is no good common space where you can meet people. For now I would recommend smaller hostels. By coincidence I met people staying at the East Seven Hostel, a much smaller hostel where there are good shared spaces to meet backpackers.

If they would change one of the many floors they have to a shared space for backpackers, I could give the hostel 4 stars. But without this I can’t give it more than 1 star for solo backpackers.

Overall a nice place to stay. Service was great, breakfast was totally worth it, and a fun atmosphere. A few downsides were that they were out of stamps and other reception things, and the location was quite a hike from the train station although it was a nice neighborhood once there! Relatively safe as well for female and solo travelers!

The room was really quiet, a small oasis. The room and bed sheets were super clean and comfortable. Key card stops working sometimes which can be quite inconvenient if you leave your room to go to the bathroom at night and then cannot get back in. There were 2 x 4 bed female dorm to share one bathroom... not very easy to get out in the morning if it is always occupied. Kitchen was good. Facility was bright. Had to walk through the noisy bar to check-in and to go to the room but that was no problem in the end. Overall positive experience because the room was nice and quiet.

Stayed at the female only dorm and was a lovely experience, the room was quite spacious with sockets and storage space for each bed. Location was perfect as it is in the city center and within walking distance to main attractions. Generally will highly recommend the female dorm and the hostel is budget friendly too.

The check in was very long and complicated. We arrived after 2pm and our bunk bed was not ready. They were out of locks and out of towers and had to get our own locks. The room looked different than what we see in the pictures. We had to share 2 toilets and 1 shower between 2 rooms of 6 beds each (12 people) which I thought was too much. Other than that, the atmosphere was nice and location is great!
