Really didn't think much of this place. The woman who runs it is bonkers and wasn't very friendly towards us. The room was tiny and unbearably hot. There was no toilet roll in the bathroom in our room and the bottom bunk of 3 in the room was stained and filthy. The location however of the hostel is great and... More

It is lucky that we were such a big group of 80 people and that it was only friends staying at the hostel during the time. I do not imagine how would it be possible to stay in this hostel, where you do not get a key for your room or for the building, have no space to put your... More

Fresh fruit salads, omelettes, pancakes, fresh healthy cake, juice, tea, coffee & milk -> THEY ARE LYING!!!! -> Just coffee and tea!!!!!) When we asked about it, they said that when they offer "complete" breakfast all prices are increased... I... More
