Meget hyggelig hostel nært sentrum. God atmosfære og mye musikk.
Pros:

Hyggelig atmosfære. Hjelpsom personale. Kort vei å gå til sentrum. Fin terrasse. Bra musikk hele tiden!

Cons:

Frukosten står nok ikke i stil til det man betaler…litt enkel og for dyr.

Pros:

My room stinks! I walked in the room(4-people shared) and I almost passed out. It smelled like feet and someone dies in there. I opened the window the whole night but it barely got better.

Cons:

The front desk guy also talked too much. I went in he was busy flirting with two girls. I waited for 10 mins and they were still talking. It was 11pm when I got there. I just wanted to check in and go to my room and sleep. I had to interrupt them so I can get checked in. Then the front desk guy started trying to flirt with me, I was so done I just didn’t say anything to answer him and he just kept going on and on.

Look no further, this hostel has everything you need
Pros:

One of the best hostels where Ive stayed, with a variety of rooms to choose from, all confortable and clean (I stayed twice, once at a dorm, another time at a private). Common areas were really great, plenty of place to socialize (but never felt like a party hostel), or to do your own thing. Didn’t eat there but regretted: pizzas look amazing

Cons:

I really can’t fault anything apart from the floor because in my case, my sandals are flat and everything was very slippery 😂 On the other side, sneakers squeak in the rooms. Bar and restaurant could be cheaper.

Pros:

I love the staff are so happy and helpful and the place is beautiful , so clean and has amazing water presure and comfy beds.

Cons:

The rooms need hooks to hang things like wet towles or clothes and the kicken needs more cups and over all they have no water filling staions for water bottles witch suprizes me.
