The room was perfect for what I needed, might have been a bit tight for two with luggage. The parking is good, I didn’t struggle to get a space either in the courtyard or on the driveway at the front even returning late at night. Breakfast was good with plenty of fresh fruit. ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Brian 19 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service It’s a decent hostel but not anything special. The dorm room was very overpriced for how limited your space is and I was expecting something spectacular because of the high price but it was far from that. ##### Brian Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marzieh 8 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What a cultural and cozy place We had a extra ordinary service . Thanks to jaklin for her easy check in and as airline lost our luggage , Melissa she spend a lot of time to track our luggage and make sure everything is going to be ok with us.she was so so helpful. I appreciate her time. Breakfast was nice and had variety. ##### Marzieh Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janina 20 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had 4 nights at THE BIG and loved our stay there. It is just 15-20minutes away from Waterfront (by foot) and it is a safe and calm area. The staff is extremely friendly and is giving their best to assist in every moment. Our room (Double) was small but absolutely sufficient and the bed was comfy. They are cleaning the room (and whole accomodation) every day. Breakfast is simple but tasty and it is possible to bring own additions or to cook some eggs in the morning since there is a fully equiped kitchen. Parking lot is secured by an automatic gate. Also very nice people there to connect :) we would definitely recommend this place! ##### Janina Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Filipe 31 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excelente localização, atendimento impecável, pessoal do hotel muito simpático e prestativo.
