Hostel far exceeded my expectations. Bougie and brilliant. Great location, friendly and helpful staff. The yoga room, zen room, cinema room, library...it was all fabulous. Beds were very comfortable. Facilities well maintained. Great setup in the common areas to facilitate socialising. Great buzz around!
Kitchen was a little small for the number of guests: encountered some very busy times there where everyone happened to want to cook at the same time.

Great location, good common facilities. I stayed in both a private room and a bunk dorm (wheelchair accessible) and both were good. Love the touch of Antipodes toiletries in the bathrooms.
The check-in process is ridiculous. Self-check-in kioks didn't work, so had to speak to a person (which I would have preferred from the start). They don't give you room keys but a code via your phone, but that was glitchy and didn't work every time. Also got a code written down on a piece of card, which also didn't work, so I needed to get a key card. But had to wait for ages because they were busy. Just give us key cards from the start! Trying to be hip and modern but actually failing in this respect. Employ staff to do the job and save everyone the stress when tech inevitably fails.

The hostel is so big, well organized, clean, with many beautiful and comfortable areas to enjoy. The location is quite convenient, since it’s just few steps away from the interchange public transport central, from where you can move easily around the city.
My room was very comfortable and clean (bunk beds, mattress and bedding). There were only two details that could improve: the bathroom’s door made too much noise while opening and closing (I guess that would be an easy fix), and the space at the dorm was tight, there was no windows, and the storage area available couldn’t fit even the smallest of my suitcases. All the occupants had to leave their luggage out, leaving less space. Anyways, I enjoyed very much my stay and definitely I would come back and recommend it!

Very modern hostel stay. Definitely one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Rooms are comfortable. Kitchen/lounge area had huge space to socialize and eat. Location is also great as it’s by the bus terminal station.
