“Untrustworthy security”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We were very disappointed with our treatment by this hostel. The facilities were all okay, though nothing special, but we felt extremely let down. On our second day we returned in the early evening to find workmen in our apartment and our room was left with the door wide open, despite us locking the door when we left in the morning. This was unannounced and a bit of a shock. They stayed until past 10.00, which was bad enough. Worse was the fact that we found out that quite a few things were moved and an inexpensive item was missing. We reported it, in disbelief. It was returned to us, after we had left the property and an extremely implausible explanation was given to us. If you want peace of mind then please do not stay here.

“Overall it was great!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2011

There was a group of 12 so we had 2 seperate rooms, the receptionist was helpful and the rooms were fine, the toilet we had was shared and could do with a revamp but overall the hotel is nicely decorated and friendly.
I'm a light sleeper and had a group of noisy football lads on our hallway who could have done with a telling off for noise at 6 in the morning but what do you expect really!
It is good value for money, easy walking distance to attractions in a quiet area.
We hope to stay there again soon!

“Cute rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2010

So the rooms were cute, nicely painted, cute bed, lights etc. The bed was comfortable and unlike some reviews, I did check the mattress and found no bed bugs so that was good. Everything looked fairly new. I stayed in a double room and shared a bathroom and that was a huge pain. I think there were maybe 4 rooms on the floor I was on, and the bathroom was always taken which was a hassle. The rooms didn't even have a sink or mirrors so that made it even more so. I thought the staff was very helpful and the location was nice. Very close to the metro. I felt pretty clean here as well, and the bathrooms looked clean everyday. Just as any other hostel, make sure you bring earplugs bc it's noisy outside. Overall, this was probably a good choice.

“Teeny-tiny”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2010

The location is fine, although it is a longwalk to a metro station. The staff is nice and friendly. Our double room was very small, and the bed was also small with only one long pillow. There was no place to hang coats or anything, no hooks, and the small closet only had space for shelves.
We got there at around 11 am and were told that check-in time is not untill 3pm. At least there was a locker where we could leave our bags. Then, when we came back at 3, our room was still being clean. They let us come up there, but we had to wait for the 2 maids who seemed to be doing more talking than cleaning. Finally, 20 mins later we were able to use our room.
The bathroom had hot water, but the shower was pretty run down and eeky.
I think we could have gotten a much better place for the many we paid.

“Surprise cancellation”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2009

Hostel looks okay but the staff is terrible. On arrival they said we had cancelled our booking and then re-booked, which made it okay for them to make us switch rooms for the second night ánd make us sleep seperate! But we never cancelled the booking! A lot of other people also had to switch rooms. It was just a big chaos. And the staff were not helpfull at all.
Also the hostel is quite a long walk away from the centre. The kitchen is pretty okay, but has a strange lay-out (people blokking the fridge is very common).
