Traveller reviews

“Pretty much ok”
09 Jul 2025
About the first hostel ever to reserve a lower bunk. It's an ok place to stay

“I am going to stay again,maybe even sooner then you think,but wouldn't like to be in this again.”
07 Jul 2025
It was all as expected.The only issue I had was the loud talks,screams,chats all over the N ,so I had to ask people inside the room to keep the voices down,later on the coridor.It is the only think made quite uncomfortable,s it should not be guest who should be doing so. Also there was no locker on the cupboard for me....but that maybe something I was expected to get with me & I didnt..?
