Next to great restaurants and nightlife spots. Wonderful price for the area and rooms were nice.

It was totally unsuitable for our needs and we didn't stay 1 night. When we asked to cancel and get a refund we were told that this will not happen. Will never use Hotel app ever again ##### Dave Stayed 18 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### HOELISOA Jul 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were delighted with our stay in this establishment. It's right in the center of town and very easy to get to. However, as it was winter, the rooms on the upper floor were too cold. Otherwise, the staff are very welcoming and helpful. ##### HOELISOA Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Feb 9, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderful desk agent the lady was great. But when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING else about my stay was horrible. Andwith this place you get wat you pay for here. Never again ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nelly Jan 8, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I booked a 6-female room which is advertised as a three bunkbeds. To my surprise, it was not. It was 2 triple bunks. The room was tiny and messy. There were suitcases, shoes, backpacks, and random items on the floor making it nearly impossible to walk inside the tiniest room. There were not enough outlets to support 6 people in the room and the little power source available was being hogged by others. It was a challenge trying to charge my after having a long travel day. The shower clogged. Hair everywhere. I tried to freshen up as I had a long travel day. I felt disgusted. I left the property to get my mind off it. I came back to find a room that was like a sauna with a fan that only reaches the two people at the lower bunks. I was issued the highest bunk. Lucky me! There was a lady in my room fully naked doing her makeup and started the blow dryer at 1030pm. There is no noise control or behavior control from the staff. That was the last straw for me. I immediately booked a hotel just hours after checking in. The staff did nothing to address the issues after expressing my concerns. I am glad I left. I’ve stayed at plenty of hostels before. This place is not it. ##### Nelly Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zaeya Mar 28, 2025 ##### Zaeya Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zaeya Mar 21, 2025 ##### Zaeya Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zaeya Mar 16, 2025 ##### Zaeya Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Zenande Mar 12, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Zenande Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### ANDRIANAIVO Feb 21, 2025 ##### ANDRIANAIVO Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zaeya Feb 20, 2025 ##### Zaeya Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Vibeke Jan 22, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sjarmerende, men umulig å sove Det var ekstremt mye lyd fra barene i området rundt.
