Good spot, nice location, breakfast is bread, carb city… interesting vibe. Very clean. Spoiler alert: Random employee came into my private room at 10:45pm while I was sleeping and acted confused while trying to check another guest into it. No knock, I was naked and scared awake.

Did not take breakfast, used kettle to make coffee and the microwave to heat milk for cereal and chocolate brioche from a local store. They supplied a bowel, mug and cutlery.

Not a good stay, even for hostel standards. Shout out to the one friendly staff member at check-in and the free filtered water. Everything else was disappointing. Hostel had no atmosphere. Also no enforcement of the quiet time rule, so expect no sleep. Poor upkeep, feels nasty.

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU’RE A FEMALE TRAVELER!!!! We were staying on the second floor and my cousin decided to take a shower, which are unisex bathrooms. Someone started recording her while showering and she noticed moments later. We went to the receptionist to complain about the situation. But they said they couldn’t do nothing about it since they have no cameras on the 2nd floor to be able to identify the person. How are women supposed to feel safe if the hostel doesn’t have security cameras in each floor.
