Nice hostel, has a pool and cafe which is cool, my WiFi didn’t work. And with one fan in the room it made it super hard to sleep, but staff were nice.

Truly awful and disqusting. We recived very dirty towels, the state of the shower was horrible. And last, but not least we just felt unsafe. It reeked of weed from our shared bathroom and our bathroom mates were hogging the batroom, talking loudly og listening to loud music early in the morning. People were also ouside our room talking til 3AM and then they started again at 5AM. We checked out as soon as we woke up even though we were supposed to stay for many days. Such a waste of money.

The beds were extremely uncomfortable. The area was often unclean. There are people walking in and out of the room throughout the evening; it was extremely hard to sleep well. The bathroom and shower area has a lot of grime; evidently have not been cleaned in a long time.
