I had to go next door to have a hot water shower, but I think that should be fixed soon. Staff was very nice and accommodating of my weird itinerary. The communal space was nice to be in and the other guests were very friendly. Room was clean. Small but what do you expect.

10/10 Excellent

Good value location

Good value for an excellent location. Nothing fancy, but a nice place to sleep, with a fully equipped kitchen and a great communal space. As long as you don't mind sharing a room, bathroom, etc. Helpful and friendly staff. A great place to stay.
Robin, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I have no regrets after staying 3 nights. Luxurious? No, but perfectly fine. Great staff. Enjoyed porch, deck. Super location
Annabelle, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Okay for not too picky travellers

A decent stay if you are not expecting too much. Place is pretty small and can feel packed, but if you can settle yourself in, it's a okay place to spend few nights. The area itself is not exactly great as there are many homeless in there. Hostel felt safe even with the area not being the best.
Joonas, 5-night trip
