Comfort, privacy, social area.
Nothing.
9 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
Had a good time and stay, all staff was so friendly and welcoming, specially Ali, who helps a lot to people to get connected with each other. There was free dinner every day creating a friendly environment in the kitchen.
Toilet cabinets were too small but they don’t have much they can do about that I guess.
Sometimes there was strong smell in the hallways.

Comfortable beds, fitted with curtain, plug, light and good pillow.
Fast wi-fi.
Spacious-ish kitchen with two fridges, good saucepans, plenty of free stuff.
Comfy seating areas on ground and second floor.
Helpful staff.
Socials organised if you want to join.
Room was air conditioned and it was the perfect temperature.
Near to a Lidl and Dia.
The hostel only has 4 toilets for men and they are tiny !! - you have to be a contortionist to use them, and they get dirty because they are so small.
More shower cubicles (6 or 7), which are great, but the shower area is airless and hot.
The doors to rooms slam, so hopefully people will keep hold of them as they close and shut them quietly.
The blanket ontop of bed seems to get reused as it didn't go in the laundry basket (?).
Swap the bunk locker numbers for their respective beds, so that the one for the top bunk is by the steps and vic-a-versa.

Location
1) air conditioning set too cold and could not be changed. The outside temperature at night was 17 degrees Celsius so it was not necessary to have the air conditioning.
2) Kitchen only has very old pots and pans. Should invest a few euros in new pans and pots
3) Toilets are tiny and only 4 male toilets for all the guests
4) the floors of the rooms are not cleaned
