| Comments: In 10 bed dorm you get bed+locker, which was large enough for my 65L rucksack + extra bags etc. Good kitchen. Only criticism is that the dorms have windows onto a central lightwell at the top of which is the outdoor roof terrace / smoking area - noisy at night. And in the ensuite dorms - 10 of you share 1 toilet/shower, although there another toilet off the lounge. I preferred Picasso Corner but would happily stay in either again, and recommend them to anyone else. Good Hostel. |

| Comments: Excellent position in the centre of the old town. Staff friendly, place clean. Only gripe no curtains or blinds in some of the rooms so little privacy. I had a good stay and recommend it. |

| Comments: the downtown hostel is relatively new and it is by far the most committed hostel i have ever encountered. One of the staff members - christian - checked our washign every 15minutes on our final night to make sure it was washing as he new we were leaving that morning & when it began raining at 1am he moved our clothes from the racks to the dryer to ensure they were dry for us to pack that morning
also has a great kitchen and eating area as well as an awesome upstairs rooftop terrace
thankyou! |

| Comments: Read the reviews on hostel world and didnt believe them, but most of what is written there is true. NO cleaning service, left. No people there, credit card machine broken, noisy as hell even when there were only 6 people staying there, staff were getting stoned on the terrace, doors always open, when washing machine was on, lights in room didnt work. its not well run, staff didnt know anything about surrounding area, NO SWIMMING POOL OR BAR as it says in features of hostel. |

| Comments: The hostel is new, so it is quiet nice.But there is probably no cleaning service, so the rooms and especially bathrooms are not clean.The bathroom was smelling and some parts seemed to not be finished.The staff was nice, but very unprofessional.They don't know what they're doing.And what was the worse, the hostel had wrong information on this site.There are no ensuite rooms.We thought we had paid for ensuite room, but finally it was a lie.They were even not able to apologize. |

| Comments: This is definitely a place to stay! The staff was very nice and helpful (and flexible!) from the first moment, there were no problems with paying by card, the room was clean and you can sleep like a baby, it's so quiet. All the bars of the centre are only 5 minutes from the hostel... |

| Comments: we asked for a refund this place was sooo bad.
-upon arrival we were checked into dirty and still occupied beds that we had to strip when the people left!
-we had to ask every day for the bathroom to be cleaned
-they had none of the advertised facilites. we had to go to other businesses to use the internet, laundry, phone etc.
this hostel is a joke! |

| Comments: this hostel just opened...they seem to not yet have figured out all the organisational defects...we couldn't pay by credit card and got the wrong uncleaned room first, then got shifted to a dorm room instead of a privat...besides all that its a great facility and the terrace on the roof simply rocks your face off...so if you wanna give'em a chance...go ahead |
