I found that there were travelers who came in and out of the room; however, the people who normally occupied the living and dining areas were not travelers. There were a great many people who are actually living in the hostel. These people were VERY loud, irrespective, and drunkards. I didn't have any trouble in the room, but, when I needed to use the internet or prepare food in the kitchen, I was constantly distracted by the people who choose to live in the hostel.

The second night I learned my lesson - sleeping p

I found the hostel to be mostly clean and tidy. The staff were always friendly. paart from the temperature in the room (it was a very hot week), and the lack of consideration by some of the other guests, which you can't really control, I had a really good stay. I would come back.

I can't praise the staff enough on how welcoming and helpful they were, plus what a fun crew! The hostel itself was pleasant. We were put in a room that was right next to the metro and heard the trains go by at all hours, which didn't help the sleeping situation much - so I would suggest earplugs if you happen to be in one of these rooms. The breakfast was simple but very nourishing. It is located very close to a metro stop which was very convenient and there is a grocery store (with ATM) and la

Nice place! Very young crowd, and the staff (some) is a bit flakey, but overall good.
