The hostel is located near the shore and the city center. The facilities are decent, and the rooms are clean with adequate acoustics. Additionally, the staff is friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. The inclusion of kettles and coffee machines in the rooms is a great touch.

The staff are so amazing! So kind and helpful. They're always up to any help, and they speak very fluent English. There's a super big room to have/make foods as well as seeing your friends or new people. Also, we played so much card/board games there.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

The hostel is incredibly clean, organized and well equipped. Great location, close to the train station and walking distance to the main tourist atractions. The pre-checking is super good and cheers to the staff for the lovely letter and clear instructions. Probably one of the best hostels that I've ever been, congrats.

This must be our 5th or 6th stay at CheapSleep. The place is squeaky clean and offers everything one needs from a youth hostel. We stayed in a very comfy private room, the shared showers and toilets were extremely clean. The bus stop for the public airport bus is just a 2min walk away and the 24/7 supermarket in the same building comes in handy. Great value!

It was the best hostel I've been. They have 8 bunk beds per room, but it is from a very good quality so theres no squeaking or any kind of annoying noise, the lockers under the bed have a really good size, you can fit around 2-3 lugadge of cabin size, and they also have an additiinal lugadge room. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean, and the commons areas very cozy and nice. The location is very good, with all kinds of public transportation in a radius of 2-3 blocks. And finally, the staff was absolutely lovely.
