Amazing Hostel - my en suite room was like a hotel and the common room was so cool to relax in. In terms of location, you step out of the door and you see the arch into the main road of the old town. Staff were friendly and they sold drinks and snacks at reception. Would definitely stay here again.

Well-equipped, excellent location and fabulous free sauna in the mornings where you can chat with other international guests. Staff were grumpy and unfriendly, but everything else was terrific!

Great location to get anywhere in the old town area within 20 minutes walk or less. Close to a few beaches, good transport links. Everything was clean & comfortable. The sauna was excellent! Only downside was the room was stifling even with the window open and it was next to a main street that was rather loud at night. Would definitely recommend though and stay again!

Free sauna/pool 9-11 AM is nice and also the free waffles was a nice touch. I wouldn’t say anything bad for the cheap price we paid 🙂

Not very clean

The hostel wasn’t very clean, and there was a strange smell in the room; no wardrobes, but the location was not far from the old town.

The staff were very accommodating and helped every step of the way and the location is literally fantastic with a supermarket, the ferry docks and the old town literally within walking distance. The free waffles in the morning are also a massive bonus! The room itself was nice however the walls are made out of paper. I booked the top floor to escape the noise but I ended up not getting alot of sleep and unable to relax. Bring either some comfortable earpods or noise blockers to get sleep.

Great location but otherwise kinda poor

One shower and two toilets for an entire floor and the floor had maybe 12 rooms or more, and if each room has 8 beds....... Would not want to stay here when it's very busy!! Not enough power outlets and they are not by each bed. No place to put your phone or room keys in a top bunk, and obviously can't charge your phone while you're there.

Excellent location and value

Hostel is right across the street from the tram, buses and the Fat Margaret area of the old town. The train station is in the area. About a thousand feet down the street is an excellent, full service grocery store, and a convenience store in the other direction. Shopping is otherwise limited. No real sit down restaurants in the neighborhood, but then again it's very close to the old town. On cleanliness, i give them a "good.". That is, certainly it's not bad but overall it could be better. The hostel is in an old building but I had no particular problems. They have a basement recreation room with TV, community kitchen, and sauna which I can't comment on. They also offer a free make-it-yourself Belgian waffle facility in the morning. Also I think that reception is open 24 hours. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

More Relaxing than Social

Cozy hostel. I stayed 3 nights. Never got the chance to try the waffles because they were always gone too fast. I think you have to be there exactly at 9am to get one. The sauna was super nice though. Staff are extremely antisocial and seem almost annoyed when you ask them questions. Not really the type of hostel to meet people but was a relaxing stay

Huoneet ja yleiset tilat ja WC:T puhtaita. Hostelli tarjosi aamupala vohvelit ja aamusaunan ilmaiseksi, joka oli iloinen yllätys. Keittiötilat todella hyvin suunniteltu. Palaamme, kiitos!
