“It was really everything I could've hoped for honestly!”

07 Aug 2024

Loved the fact that it's so hippy and a great opportunity for a lot of young people to meet as well as all the cool stuff that's just lying around like movies, books, a guitar and a piano,... The live jazz band was an amazing experience. It's fairly clean and there's plenty of showers and toilets for everyone to use.

Such a cool place, so much space to hang out and meet other travellers. There was a real mix of people, of different ages and interests. The bar and cafe are really nice places, with live music at the weekend. The dorm was great, comfy bed and quiet. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. I wanted to stay here longer, was there for 3 nights. The location was great, 1 hour walk into centre of downtown and lots of places to eat nearby in the Greek quarter. The subway to the airport is just around the corner. Breakfast was perfect in a big kitchen with space. The chillout room in the basement was also fab. Loads of showers, clean place and feels really safe and secure.
