Cute & Cozy

Loved my stay! The beds are super spacious and comfortable. The hostel is very clean and cute. Pretty quiet common area and not much socializing going on. Very relaxed and in a perfect location. I would stay again

Ideal spot

Wish I tried this earlier in my trip. This is walking distance from main train station and is centrally located to key sites that a weary traveler would need. You can’t really go wrong staying here.

Great place at excellent location.

Even tho i didn’t have any interaction or met any staff member, the instructions where very clear on the email you get. So I didn’t have any problems. My room (#1) was very comfy and it had a fan that it was a plus. Stayed in a 4 bed room but we were only 2 guys. Room was great and the facilities looks great too. I only stayed for 1 night but everything was fantastic. The location is also amazing. The metro from ferri terminal drop you 3 mins away from the hostel and the train station to get to the airport is 5 mins away.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
They cancelled my reservation at the last moment, but kept my money. Refusing to refund. Staff very unhelpful and very slow. I wanted to say "you get what you pay for", but in this case I paid money and got nothing. So my sincere recco is to stay away from this shady place.

Mukava vierailu

Hyvä hostelli ydinkeskustassa. Mukavat yhteiset tilat ja verhoilla eristetyt makuukopit jokaiselle. Kaikki toimi automaattisesti, en tavannut henkilökuntaa. Mukaan oma pyyhe, jonka voi vuokratakin, sekä munalukko, jos haluat tavaroitasi lukkojen taakse.
