The staff was amazing and let us leave our luggage in our room until 20min past our check-out time since it was more convenient for us given our flight time. They problvide absolutely everything and the check-in and check-out process was extremely simple. Very well located as well so we were able to walk to most spots

Amazing property. It is over a metro line, so there is a little vibration/noise when the train runs. Only negative. Staff is excellent and property is very clean. Rooms and bed are new and clean. Good mattresses.

Great find

Great set up for the private rooms. Clean, modern, comfortable. The window overlooking the street does let in sounds when people are being loud on the street. It was fine during our stay though.

There is definitely room for improvement in terms of customer service and cleanliness. There was a very unpleasant smell in the lobby during my stay. I was also surprised by additional charges after the reservation, such as having to pay extra for bed sheets, which I believe should be included in the price. The towels were available for rent, but unfortunately they did not smell clean or fresh. When guests pay for towels, they expect them to be properly washed and pleasant to use. Another issue concerns the upper bunk beds. The side rails are not high enough to safely keep personal items such as phones or AirPods while sleeping. It is very easy for them to fall behind or under the bed, forcing guests to ask reception for assistance to retrieve their belongings. I also requested to move to a lower bunk because of my back pain and difficulty using the ladder. I was told that the change would be arranged for the following day, and later I was informed that it had been done. However, the next day I discovered that no lower bed was actually available. This was disappointing and affected my confidence in the information provided by the staff. These were the main areas that, in my opinion, need improvement.

Read some bad reviews before the trip. But actually my experience was top-notch! We had a private room with separate private toilet. (including schampoo/conditioner and body lotion). Linen and towels were included. A beautiful private balcony! The building has lots of charme, the location is super-central and staff’s amazing. Big, modern, clean kitchen available. With storage in fridge/freezer.

Want sheets? That’s an extra charge. A Towel, that’s extra too. Want to secure your items in the locker, use the laundry? All that’s extra. All you get is a bed and mattress for the cost. There are 3 Toilets and sheets for men and 3 for women, so when the hostel is full you will have to wait.

Hip Karma Hostel was a great place to stay! We were a group of 14 people so booked the 8 bed and 6 bed rooms (both private - only us). The bathrooms are shared with everyone in the hostel but we had no issues with this - they were kept clean and tidy, and no queues. The only issue we had was that you have to pay for bedding (not included on booking), and even though we booked the whole room, we weren’t allowed a key to the bedroom. The person at reception had to keep opening the bedroom door for us every time. Luckily there is someone on reception 24/7, but for security reasons, it was a bit uncomfortable as anyone could say they are in that room. But overall, a great stay and would come again as a big group.
