The location is great! The people in the room were very nice

The price-performance ratio is abysmal! For just a bed place, the price is outrageous. You can't lock anything away without an extra charge; everything looks shaky. For a little extra charge, you can get a hotel with breakfast at the harbor! Don't just look on booking!! It's better to research yourself!

Bad beds, no privacy curtain, no locked storage available, unfriendly staff, threat of being fined if you accidentally sleep in the wrong (unoccupied) bed if you arrive late and don’t want to turn on all the lights and disrupt other sleepers, unfriendly staff, no soap…
The hostel has a central location and an easy check-in. The staff is very friendly and there are nice common areas. The room was also spacious.

The mattress in the room was very soft and a bit saggy, and we were bothered for a long time by the music from the common area above us.
The rooftop bar. Views and good atmosphere

You have to pick up the sheets, towels, and trash from the room yourself. It's only missing that we have to clean it too
The location is great, the common areas are cozy and very practical!
