Very polite and helpful check in staff member. He helped me with my bag (I use a crutch) and let me know where there were places to eat; he recommended a food truck that had great food at a great price. Didn’t use the showers but the bathroom was very clean as was the whole floor I was on. A fair amount of steps to get to my room but the hostel location was walking distance to the ferry and many shops and restaurants.

Was fantastic, very friendly people, but: on the 28th I slipped due to a water leak from my shower, my wrist was badly bruised (in any case), was not treated seriously, the towel was put down and I had to beg for ice to cool down (husband). ) One of the women did give me ice cream Now; 1 week later: still can't use my hand Also: leakage in the dorm, ditto Not taken seriously, they also put a towel down there and after mentioning it again: nothing, so I grabbed dry towels and threw the soaked ones in their cage Too bad, because it was otherwise good Of course, I should have called a doctor right away and paid them, in retrospect Now: my bikini bottoms are still there, they won't send them to me, even if I pay It was all annoying, because it was otherwise excellent, although I had the only creaking bed and I didn't sleep for 11 nights

Given the price, we didn’t have high expectations, but we were still shocked. It all started quite well — when we arrived early in the morning, we were allowed to leave our luggage and go for a walk, which seemed promising. However, our optimism quickly disappeared when we picked up the room keys. The entire place smelled musty — the hallway, the room, even the dining area. Even the towels had that damp, unpleasant odor. The walls and doors are paper-thin, so you can hear absolutely everything happening in the corridor. The so-called “breakfast” consisted of a few slices of baguette and some cheap jams — honestly, it was a joke. We’re just glad we stayed only one night. Never again — next time, we’ll happily pay a bit more for a proper hotel!

We got back from a cruise and needed a place to stay before a midnight flight that night. Staff here were awesome and very helpful. We were able to drop our bags in the morning so we could explore the area. Was nice to rest a few hours and take a shower before our flight. Conveniently located across the street from the cruise ship and a quick taxi ride to airport. There aren’t any frills as a hostel, but clean, quiet, and safe. Would highly recommend as the staff were really nice and helpful!

This is a great location to get to the Ferry…the Breakfast is wonderful. Most of the Staff is very good. The bedroom and all is clean and good. I had a problem with my bed it seems like there are wires out and when I got up I got hurt in my head from the lower bed… this was my third night there and this is the first time it happens… they need to check on this… I also had a problem with a Staff Member… sometime in the future I will let them know… other than that is very good
