5.0

La ubicacion tan céntrica. El personal fue muy majo, exceptuando una mujer asiática que era una borde y no ayudaba en nada que le preguntaras.

Me alojé 2 días pagando 75 euros/noche en una habitación compartida de 10 camas y el último día aun me hicieron pagar por dejar la maleta hasta el mediodia, alegando que había mucha gente.

"We’ll organise"

8.0

Look great and well organised. Allowed to switch room due to unable to sleep well with one snoring extremely loudly.

Kitchen was a mess during my first day. Fortunately the kitchen was able to be improved the cleanliness gradually. There’re too many inconsiderate people in the hostel. Hardly to keep the kitchen clean.

"Très bien mais......"

9.0

L'emplacement, l'ambiance générale, la cuisine à disposition

Pas de porte manteau, pas de patère, pas de barre pour faire sécher sa serviette dans la chambre si bien qu'on.pose tout par terre ou dans son lit ce qui n'est pas agréable du tout

Value for money

A little more privacy in the beds, like curtains maybe. I wasn’t sure if there is a water refilling station, I didn’t see one.

"Great value for money"

10.0

The hotel is located close to the main fountain in the park and it's about 20min walk foem the main atractions. The area felt safe and rooms were quiet. I stayed in a female 4-bed room. There was 1 shower and 1 toilet to be shared between 2rooms (8 people) ans it was always very clean. There were many activities organized by the hostel, including a happy hour event with free snacks and drinks for people to get to know each other. Lots of common confortable spaces. Water tank available so one can fill their bottle of water.

I had an overall great experience in this hostel. Front desk employees could provide more information during check-in.
