Friendly Cute Hostel
Only stayed one night in a private double room. Reception and Bar staff were fantastic. Good vibe around the hostel too.
A little out of the way, around 3km from Central Station but metro within walking distance!

Great hostel and very friendly staff/environment. The only thing I would say is that the beds move and squeak a lot/loudly. Our entire room struggled to sleep. Another suggestion would be to put a hook or two in the room bathrooms, as to be able to hang the towel/clothes for your shower. :)
That being said, I would stay there again! Lovely place!

Everything was perfect. Curtains on bunk beds. This isn’t a social hostel, so if you’re looking to relax and not socialize, this is the hostel for you. I especially liked the free breakfast, it wasn’t some cheap store bought bread and some Nutella. There were scrambled eggs, sausages and freshly cut tomatoes.
Cons: The A/C wasn’t cold enough for my liking. It’s central A/C that only the receptionist could control.
Biggest Con: The location. It’s quite a bit of a walk to the center. I think this is also a sort of good thing cos the restaurants nearby have been very reasonably priced and where the locals actually ate.
Overall, I really enjoyed my stay.

A good stay
We stayed one night only and it was OK for just one day. Room was comfortable but the standard of cleanliness
should be improved. Hot water was scarce and we had to wait +20 minutes to get another shower. Breakfast was fair and staff really helpful and kind.
There's a metro station right around the corner and several shops in the area. Parking available in the property for 10 euro/day was very convenient.

Rigtig skøn stor gårdhave!
Skøn atmosfære!
Dejlig morgenmad, inkl i ophold.
Der udleveres hængelås sammen med nøgle ved check-in.
Døren til mit værelse, var svær at lukke udefra, så derfor skulle den lukkes hårdt i. Det var lidt problematisk grundet vi er flere på værelset (støj).
Om natten blev der rigtig varmt i køjen (nederste), da gardinet var trukket for.
Det var rigtig godt at toilet og bad var tæt på værelset.

Oasi nel fragore di Napoli
Incastonato in una piccola oasi dal caos, il giardino con i merli svolazzanti ha un non so che di tropicale, gentilissimi e professionali i ragazzi che gestiscono lo spazio, una vera scoperta non posso che consigliarlo a tutti coloro che viaggiano e non vogliono un posto impersonale ma con un sapore di comunità. Buona strada a tutti

Gedurende mijn verblijf van 3 nachten verbleef ik in een privé kamer. Deze was ruim, schoon en daarmee gewoon goed. Het enige nadeel was dat de ramen niet afsloten en de kamer grensde aan de gemeenschappelijke ruimte. Daardoor was het wel lawaaierig. Het personeel is hartstikke vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het ontbijt is goed en er zijn altijd wel mensen aanwezig in het gemeenschappelijke deel. Wel waren het over het algemeen groepjes die op vakantie waren dan mensen die alleen op reis waren.
