Happy with the location. Easy to remember that the hostel is located very close to University of Art (once my mobile battery was gone, I easily found the hostel by asking people how to get to the University). Really appreciated that I was able to book in earlier. Very easy system- a code sent to message to booking account. Very clean facilities: kitchen, bathrooms, toilets. Clean on a daily basis -once I met the lovely staff, who gave me some good recommendations - sorry I do not remember theirs names, but they were from Venezuela. Other people leave dirty dishes in the sink, even there is a note. In the room everyone was respecting the rules, be quiet and respectful with others. Will stay again. Good location, about 20 mins walk to the city.

Everything was clean. The place is cozy and welcoming. It have really cute restaurant on the ground floor. Supermarket is 2 minutes away. Nice lobby with couches and chairs to chill with friends. There is a pool - baths complex 5 mins away which is perfect for relaxing evening after a long day in the nature.

“Probably too expensive”
A fairly well-equipped kitchen. Self check-in. Door opens with a code, no need to carry a card or key. Plenty of space to park a car.

“Good option.”
The hostel has four showers and five toilets in the centre of the hostel. That is very helpful. Their ground floor has a restaurant. That is also good. The staff was very nice.

There's no reception so you can't ask for stuff. I wanted to ask how do I get water in the hostel, and the person at the cafe refused to answer my question saying they're closed, but it's bad if we can't ask any questions.
