Perfectly situated outside the main hustle and bustle. Very clean, comfy beds, good bathroom facilities (although only 1 working sink in ladies dorm was a bit tricky at busy times). Silent closing on the bathroom door would be a good addition, as would disabling the hairdryer after 11pm - no one should be drying their hair at 3am in a shared space!! Overall really lovely though. Recommended.

amazing hostel, worth the money

i think this was the best hostel i stayed in europe. it's super clean and organized, the staff is friendly and helpful, the area is safe and has great access to public transportation. the only downsides are the lack of a shared kitchen (you'll have to eat out everyday) and the location being a bit far from the central area of the city. you'll spend a lot of time inside public transportation.

Clean hostel the woman only dorm felt safe with lockers provided that lock , a main door that locks to the dorms with restrooms in their to use . Right around corner is metro and bus stop and easy to get back to airport or walk to other parts of the city . The hostels property is smaller than some with not a lot of hang out space but ok plus side this seemed to keep the noise outside down
