Well worth a stay. Book now.

What a fantastic hostel. It was comfortable all around. From the bed, to the lounge, to the temperature of the space. Couldn’t be more pleased with the place. It is a little pricy by hostel standards, but a great stay nonetheless. Only concern is the fleece bed throw. It’s not a comforter and is kind of small to provide full body comfort: coverage.

Clean facilities—particularly the showers and beds! Easy check-in and check-out process. Quiet hours were respected by other occupants. Great price for the central location. Only a 30 min ride from the airport using public transit.

With its already high 9.4 rating, I was expecting this place to be nice—but I was actually even more pleasantly surprised. The facilities are very well maintained and spotlessly clean, especially the bathrooms, which were darn near pristine. Big Ups to the staff! They must be working really hard and take pride in their job. The woman who checked me in was exceptionally friendly and helpful, and I felt comfortable and safe throughout my stay. The common areas provided plenty of cozy seating to relax in, and the sleeping area itself was spacious and comfortable. According to my smartwatch, I slept very well. Its close proximity to the airport made catching an early flight simple and stress-free. Honestly, I wished I had booked more of my trip here. The only thing worth mentioning is that the hostel is located near a part of town with a noticeable homeless presence. I personally felt safe, but for women traveling alone, I’d suggest arriving during the day just to be extra cautious. Also, while the guests were polite, the social atmosphere wasn’t quite as lively or chatty as I’ve found at other hostels. That said, this hostel truly takes the cake for cleanliness, comfort, and overall aesthetic. I’ll most certainly be returning on my next trip!
