I do not recommend this hostel at all. Our experience was absolutely terrible. The facilities were extremely dirty and full of cockroaches, specially inside the rooms. I want to emphasise this: there were many cockroaches in the accommodation areas. It was very disturbing. There was constant noise at all hours, making it impossible to rest properly. We did not sleep well at all. We also witnessed very strange and uncomfortable situations inside the hostel, including harassment incidents and people becoming very unwell in the bathrooms, with medication scattered on the floor. It felt unsafe and poorly managed. The hostel also advertises parking, but this is false. There is no on-site parking. The only option is street parking, which is paid and the area feels unsafe at night.

I stayed in a private room and it was clean and well-maintained. The team is fantastic—super friendly and always ready to help with a smile. It’s also close to everything you need.

The place is a dump and is full of indignant persons. It was totally unsuitable for our needs and we didn't stay 1 night. When we asked to cancel and get a refund we were told that this will not happen. Will never use Hotel app ever again
