Luggage storage is available at the front desk which was very useful, even after checkout. The shared kitchen is fully stocked and the common area is well maintained.

It's close to the station and they have a movie and popcorn event every day. The staff are kind. ##### Yuki Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margaret 23 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very comfortable. Age range higher than usual for backpackers, so not rowdy. Lots of books, board games, guitars(!) available for self entertainment.

Cockroaches in the kitchen and rooms, dirty sheets, you can hear the people talking in the corridors and rooms next door clear as day. A male member off staff knocked on the door and entered without waiting for an answer while I was getting changed. No atmosphere at all. When I arrived the first day at 1:30pm I didn’t get a hello, just check in is at 2pm, not the friendliest welcome. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Amirul 31 Oct 2025 Disliked: Amenities The staff at check in was great, friendly and explained everything well. 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 #### Sandra 18 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was great.

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 #### Amielia 10 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff were wonderful, it’s in a great location, and it was probably the comfiest bed I’ve had in a hostel.
