Great location easy access but lousy stairs only.

Great location with easy access to all the major old town attractions. Only gripe is the stairs-only leading to the rooms so if you're on the higher floors, good exercise.

The place was very good located. Very safe location and really close to main attractions. Surrounded by restaurants, and stores. Amazing views from the common areas. Breakfast was simple but cheap, just what you're looking for in a hostel.

Definitely worth the stay!

Stayed in the cubicle rooms...16 people is too many for my personal taste, but the from was big.... However the cube can get stuffy at night... More than ample amounts of toilets and showers always clean and stocked...overall a worthwhile stay in an excellent area.... There is a market just up the street which is helpful for cooking meals in their kitchen...

Right in the middle of everything 😍

This location is amazing. We had a private room with our own toilet and shower but had to rent towels and pay for a locker to check out bags once we checked out. I would probably stay here again.

I paid of the breakfast bit honesty regreted it. Its your basic continental breakfast. Bread. Boiled eggs, cerial and yogurt. I stayed in a large pod room, the pods were spacious, had fun light options and it was comfortable. The location is perfect . Only thing i had an issue with was the showers . My floor was just a push to start shower with no temperature option and it was burning hot for me .
