But I guess I didn’t do my due diligence to check what kind of hostel this is because it smells like weed at any time we enter the building. Also if you’re an old person and/or wearing hijab, people will stare at you if you walk through the main area so we just use the back entrance every time. We stayed at the family room with bathroom inside so it is okay but theres no soap i the shower. It did have hand soap dispenser so we used that. Overall if you know what you’re getting into, the price and location is great but i don’t think this is a place for a family. ##### Amirul Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josyane 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice place to stay The staff is very nice and helpful. They work hard to keep the place clean. However, some guests were not very respectful in the shared areas (dirty dishes on the counter for hours, very loud music, toilet paper everywhere in the shared bathrooms). The bed was very confortable and I was glad to have access to a big locker. The hostel is perfectly situated to easily go everywhere on foot or by bus/tram/train. I would highly recommend this place to solo travellers. ##### Josyane Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan P 8 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Orderly & quiet location, centrally located.
