Superb hostel. Very cool, with helpful and kind staff. Located very close to a metro station and loads of dining options and nice shops. There is even a bar restaurant on the ground floor, which is a buzzing spot. Recommended.

Had a private room with bath for 2 guests. Biggest hostel bath I have stayed in! Very clean, quiet, nice atmosphere, metro a block away. Great overall. Cons: not a very interactive hostel, not set up for mingling, or might have been just an off weekend...

We needed 12 hours to sleep and have a break between our flights, so we ended up here. It's a backpacker-style hotel for young travellers in groups. We got 4 bunk beds with a full bathroom split into 3 spaces (sink, shower, and toilet). Every bed had its plug and light. They had a restaurant and many shops around. We went for dinner and to some other stores. Then came back and had a good sleep. We left, and the staff was very helpful even at 3am. Will come back.

Everything is great about it, it’s just that the rooms get hot at night. You can’t sleep or even feel comfortable because of how hot it gets and there is no way to open the windows. It would have also been great if they would have privacy curtains or walls. Also there is no hangout and chill section because the entire first floor is used for mainly people who go to the Limbo restaurant which is the reason why you would see no one from the hostels interact with one another.
