Booked one private room but it was like a dorm with a door You need to pass inside a 4 beds room then access It was noisy during the night and people came in the middle of the night talking, etc I was expecting much better value for the money that I paid It can be good to meet other travelers but the facilities are not good at all And the staff is not really helpful, the guy in the reception give me just key and he didn't explain anything for me I will not recommend this hostel at all

The hostel surprised and pleased with its positive atmosphere: there are many Europeans in it and the opportunity to communicate in the courtyard, sometimes joint dinners are held - it is unforgettable. The hostel staff carefully monitor cleanliness, change bed linen often - not like in other hostels. Of all the administrators, Valentin was the most liked - very professional, polite, erudite. You are lucky if your stay coincides with his work schedule. There is a fruit shop and a grocery store near the hostel. 10 minutes walk to the metro station. I will miss the fun and friendly atmosphere created by the hostel guests. Probably, I will stay again if I come.

At certain times of the day, weak water pressure in the pipes. Sometimes there is almost no hot water. But overall, it's not scary - the city has hot weather from May to September, everything is fine.

Only good aspect is the social nature of the hostel. Large gatherings of guests every night at a big table in the courtyard - but that gets capped at about 10pm anyway due to noise and neighbours.

No air con in the room, bathrooms were never that clean and people constantly coming in and out at all hours. I only stayed one night and would only recommend it for social aspect and nothing else. I don’t know how it has such a high rating (this sentiment was shared by many other guests I met too…)

Great hostel. Price to quality very good. Kitchen well equipped, there is even a washing machine. Inner courtyard with benches and a table and clotheslines for drying laundry. Clean

The water in the shower did not drain quickly. Probably clogged with users' hair
