Guest reviews

- Location is nice - The upstairs terrace is very enjoyable to relax

- Location is nice - The upstairs terrace is very enjoyable to relax

- There are 2 bathrooms (one with 1 toilet and one with 2 toilets) in the whole house, that’s just really not enough for the amount of people staying there. Because of that, the toilets (and bathrooms) are often occupied and also not very clean. - our private room was just next to the eating table and kitchen. So it’s just really loud and silence hours were not enforced - the mattress is horrible. - when we arrived they communicated very vaguely about when we could get into the room, then were delayed on their own timing, and just never gave a proper explanation about the hostel.

I stayed in a female dorm which is in the attic with a low ceiling. I bumped my head so many times. There are only 2 bathrooms, so you are always waiting in line for the bathroom. Staff kept on screaming at me that I am making noise at night, even before quiet hours. They told me I can talk on the terrace and then screamed at because people were sleeping on the terrace. Also, there is construction on the road so you can never be picked up or dropped off, and you need to crawl through bushes to get into the building and I ruined clothing.
