Serve yourself backpackers, no one was ever there to help with check in or anything. Only one shower was working. Distinct lack of security with only a generic access code to the front door.

Enjoyed this hostel. No visible staff, but the kitchen is well stocked and the rooms and public areas were clean. Close to the train station, but really difficult to find!

Nearly no stuff at all; the kitchen and the living room is quite nice;location is good, cleanliness is average although the beds are not so new...make sure you can get your room because somebody has been advised to leave for poor booking service

The atmosphere is quite female-friendly, from my personal experience. In a rainy day, every sleeping room is quite stuffy because of crowded small space with small window, that lead to bad ventilation of air inside the room. I found it so difficult to sleep in my room on the first day- the room was so stuffy and smelly.

No he estado en muchos hostales para mochileros, pero sin duda este es uno de los peores. El responsable no está. Sencillamente aparece por las mañanas (creo) para coger el dinero que la gente deja en una caja de seguridad (esa es la manera de pagar). La habitación era pequeña, la cama se balanceaba mucho y la litera de arriba no tenía ninguna barrera para no caerte.

This place was a bit weird in that there is no reception and I didn't see a member of staff during my stay. Only a few of the rooms had locks on the doors, but there were a few lockers available in the lounge. Overall though I had a great stay here
