Jennifer, June 2025
Pros (+) The staff is great and very attentive, especially Pablo and Giuliana. You both made my stay so much better!☺️ The hostel is always clean, has all the services and good recreation spaces. Lots of fun! P.S. At the entrance there was a roulette and I won a breakfast for the next day, I could not be happier. Highly recommended.

Rae, May 2025
Pros (+) The location was central and easy to get around from. The food, especially the pizza, was amazing and the drinks went down well, all for a very reasonable price. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and nice. It was also very clean.
Cons (-) The toilets could do with an update.

Cons (-) I had to change rooms because they gave hospitality to a homeless person who smelled and was always drunk, threatening and didn't let me sleep at night. It was obvious and they accepted him anyway

Pros (+) Location was great for us. Reception staff were helpful with anything needed.
Cons (-) Male cleaner in female bathroom. Made 3 females feel uncomfortable when in shower. We asked for him to wait however he was persistent on needing to clean showers while we were mid shower. Very uncomfortable.
