Good location. Love having a curtain and walls around the bed help block any noise from travelers. Kitchen facilities were reasonably good and clean too

Literally everything. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, including the volunteers who also like to spend time with the residents. This place has the best equipped kitchen I have ever seen in a hostel, which adds a lot of comfort to the common room where everyone likes to meet and get to know each other. The (delicious) cocktail bar in the yard is another bonus which makes you never want to leave the hostel. But the location is also great and every cool spot is just minutes away by walk. I felt home and like many others, I extended my stay because it was just that good.

The hotel staff were all friendly, very accommodating, and warm. The layout of the hotel - the reception / living area and the kitchen- was even accessible to the guests where we can just hang out and chill. This made me feel so much at home, especially during a bleak and cold winter, when a cup of tea is highly appreciated. The hotel location is about a 10-minute walk to the Central Bus Station, about 5 mins to the Central Train Station... and about 15 - 20 mins to the town center.

I liked that they let you keep the luggage for a day after check out, give key for locker, keep the bathroom neat and clean. Additionally, good heating for the room.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It was one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. It's a clean hostel where you can stay safely. It's within walking distance of all the tourist attractions in the city center. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Iresha helped us with every problem, she's very patient and does her job very well. I've stayed in a hostel many times before. But I can say that this hostel is the best. Thank you very much.

    Great location, just few minutes walk to the old town and many attractions. A lot of good bars and restaurants around the hostel. The bunk bed is really good, it is normal stairs with hard surfaces under the mattress which feels very good.
