This time the private capsule was clean but small as expected with the price. Some noises during the night, but nothing too wild. Downstairs bar and the live music there was great. Good choice if you do not need too much sleeping space and are lucky enough to get a clean capsule. Hostel staff was nice and friendly.

Fantastic location! Walkable to major city spots. Hostel is above a bar/club, we stayed there over the weekend and couldn’t hear any noises. The place is well kept.

The private capsule was not too clean this time. Some earlier guest had left her trashes under the matress and the cleaner had apparently missed them. Room lock was not working, corridor info screens were broken, shared toilet was missing parts, etc. Nights were cold since windows are kept open in the capsule rooms all the time. The staff was quite nice and relaxed and the bar was fine. Downstairs in the bar there is a chillout room which I found out when leaving and it was too late to try it.

The location was good and very walkable. We booked the pods and found them very uncomfortable. I recommend going for the rooms if available. Staff was good, check-in was easy. Place was clean.

Very good central location to a lot of buses and trains. I slept in a double pod. There’s no storage available in rooms. You have to pay to use lockers daily. Although it is clean, this property doesn’t have a separate lounge outside it’s bar/restaurant. It’s nice and quiet during the day but if you’re just trying to relax or get some work done at night, it can get loud.

I was ok. The shared bathroom was a disgusting mess most of the time. The door code device on the door failed repeatedly causing me to be locked out in the hallway a couple times. On the bright side, the location is great and if you’re looking for a shared hostel room, the pod beds are nice

While the location of the hostel is amazing, you can reach every landmark and cool spots easily by foot or bike, the building itself was run down. The rooms were kinda cleanish, but the showers were not clean and the toilets we’re disgusting or didn’t work at all. Staff was quit friendly.

6/10 Good

Can’t beat the location. Even for a hostel this was the most minimal, kind of grimy property I have ever stayed at. We booked a private bathroom, and the shower was a trickle from a shower head above the toilet and sink. The toilet paper had to be taken out of the space, so it didn’t get soaked when showering. The overhead light was also burned out. It was a bit like camping.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place, reasonable price. Very well located all amenities near by. Bar downstairs so expect the vibe to lively and a bit noisy. Construction out front, would come make some noise early in the morning and be gone before i got outside. Ha ha, likely due to weather. The place was fine, small but functional. However, not a ritzy hotel.

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. It was our first time in a hostel but we stayed in a private room. The room was small but had everything you needed! A full length mirror and hair dryer plus another mirror. Lots of plugs and a desk and chair. We found the room to be clean but the bathroom did smell constantly. Pillows were very thin (only complaint about the bedroom) Would be a good idea to move the toilet roll dispenser so it's not directly opposite the sink as it was a squeeze to fit to have a shower. The hostel is in a great location! Close to restaurants, shops, bars and the metro. We had a few drinks in the bar which we enjoyed (although very loud music in the evening haha). Friendly staff. I've read in another review that there is a basement bar which we didn't realise as that would have been good to use. Not sure if there was a sign to show you about the basement. We would recommend.

I enjoyed the comfort of the bed but a heating pipe goes against the bed and gives a lot of warmth to sleep in

6/10 Good

The staff were very friendly. Check in and check out was super easy. The location was perfect. A very short walk to the city center and a host of restaurants and shops. The thing I didn't like was it was super noisy. Partying all night, until 0300-0400 in the a.m. Also, the bathroom set up was absolutely ridiculous. Super small and the shower head was located in the middle of the bathroom, above the sink and the toilet, so once you showered everything was wet. Although the location was perfect and the staff were friendly, the hostel itself was average. I think it's a good choice for single travelers who are only staying a day or two, but not for couples or those staying more longer than a couple of days.

8/10 Very good

I stayed in the women’s bedroom this time, and it was a much better experience compared to my last visit. The room was very clean and even had a sink inside, which was super convenient. There were around three bathrooms and three toilets on the floor, and they were all much cleaner than the ones on the 6th floor. Honestly, the cleanliness in the women’s section was impressive—you could almost splash water on all the toilets (not that you’d want to, but it shows how compact and well-kept everything was). However, the toilet behind the reception still takes the prize as the best one in the whole hostel!
