great

Liked: clean room and comfortable bed
Disliked: it seems to be newly renovated so there is an unpleasant smell which I think may be bad for health

Superb

Superb

Clean but bit small rooms...

Liked: Easy check in and check out. Cleanliness and good vibes.
Disliked: the room size was bit small. There were inadequate toiletries provided

Disappointing stay

Liked: The hostel is in a great location and their staff, especially security were very helpful. We felt safe here.
Disliked: From the pictures we were definitely under the impression that the hostel was recently refurbished, there has been some work done but the whole place has a strong smell of paint and just doesn’t feel complete, especially the toilets. The kitchen was very dirty and we did not feel comfortable cooking in there. We were in a 6 bed dorm (woman) with the smallest bin. There is constantly a sewer like dirty smell coming from the bathroom which I have seen on multiple reviews which indicates this is a general problem at the hostel. As well as this the luggage storage smelt the same and it’s just not a pleasant smell. Lastly regarding the lifts, we were on level 4 so our only way down is in the lift as there are no stairs and the lifts either took forever to come or one wasn’t working. I have found myself covered in strange bite marks which again I have seen on other reviews, which is concerning. Potentially dust mites?? WiFi just didn’t seem to work. Overall we were sadly very disappointed.

Spoiled for my first experience...

Liked: Great location, excellent value, friendly staff and safe environment. Having the washing machines and dryers on site was a bonus. Kitchen was great too, well stocked.
Disliked: Nothing

Nice place but things needs...

Liked: Shoutout to the staff, always nice and helpful. The rooms and the bed space are really good, with all the comforts you need. Also the kitchen is good and functional. The interior design of every floor is great and comfy.
Disliked: It was still under construction, the price was too high for all the discomforts (broken lift, not functional stairs, kitchen on floor 3&4 but tables on floor 1&2, drilling at 8am). The kitchen needs to be cleaned more often considering the amount of guests and they never do fridge cleaning to throw old guest boxes (resulting in little space and bad smell)

Be mindful of extra costs

Liked: The hostel is close to the central station as well as a tram stop and some bus stops. Making it easy to get around the city from here. The rooms are big enough, and the beds provide privacy, which I appreciate. The private bathroom is nice, but it does mean you have to wait around a lot, especially in a 6 or 8 people dorm. The organised activities and discounts on food are appreciated.
Disliked: The shared kitchen was quite disgusting, especially the sinks. The fact that you have to pay $8 for a seriously bad quality towel is a weird concept to me. Additionally, paying $10 to store your luggage after check-out should also not be a thing.

Superb

Liked: Very new, modern and clean. Great facilities and one of the most complete hostels I’ve ever visited. Very helpful personnel as well.
Disliked: The storages for suitcases was pretty small
