"Good value for money"

7.0

Cool amenities, great staff, good vibes, overall clean

It's up a hill so hard to access by foot with a big luggage, also has a lot of stairs. The room felt a bit small for 5 people (I'm pretty sure we were only supposed to be 4 in the room) and there was not much space for luggage etc

"Todella tunnelmallinen hostelli, joka vetää puoleensa ihania ihmisiä!"

10.0

Kaikkien kasvien keskellä paikka on kuin ihan omassa maailmassaan. Talo on tunnelmallinen; korkeat huoneet, omaperäinen sisustus, parveke ja paljon kasveja ympärillä sekä mukavat yhteiset tilat. Jokaisella on oma sänky, ei kerrossänkyjä.
