Organization, friendliness, and awesome perks make this hostel stand out among hostels. Chilled water, and generous amounts of food made from scratch are left for your convenience. Reception is super friendly, and prioritize your comfort and needs.
Finally, there's a rooftop bar that has been a great place to socialize and hang out before the pub crawls.
The breakdown of my rating is below, based on things I care most about across hostels.
Sociability: 5/5
Free Dinner in two rooms lends itself to conversations. But the best part is the
Rooftop bar, a nice little hangout where drinking games are played and the DJ generally plays fun dance beats. Its great for chatting & pre-gaming for bar crawls, and it combines the fun of a party hostel with the comfort and friendliness of a home.
Bed, Room, and Showers: 4/5
Each bed comes with a personal curtain. Useful when you have that one roommate with weak-bowel-syndrome. I'd recommend getting the free earplugs.
Sound travels from the lobby through the bedrooms.
You have to ask for the AC, but at least they have thick blankets (as a recovering sick person, that made my day).
Showers were at the end of the hall, usually kept pretty clean.
Food: 4/5
The free food is generally pretty good. Personally, I had skipped out on the Risotto days, but everything else has been great (Chicken Pasta, Beef Stew).
Being able to stumble home at 4am and chow down some warm beef stew is a HUGE perk. Also, be sure to donate to the chef if you can. read more
