Shower is not good at all (tried 3 different in the hostel) but maybe this is because of the water concerns and eco view from the hostel. Friendly staff, location is good but right in front there are people living in the streets (what is common in many areas of city centre). My room was not good concerning silence. Also there were lots of families with children during my stay. ##### Andre Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### America May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excelente ubicación y servicio. ##### America Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### America Feb 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Súper amable el personal y el ambiente increible ##### America Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carsten Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome Hostel in a awesome City Simply one of the best Hostels in one of the greatest cities in the world I‘ve stayed in!!!

Tout était censé se dérouler à merveille pour mon anniversaire. Je réserve et paye pour une chambre familiale pour 5 nuits. La responsable a jugé bon pour rentrer dans ses frais de nous donner une chambre standard simple sous les combes (Je fais 1m80 je vous laisse imaginé) avec l'odeur, l'humidité et la vétusté de la chambre. Comme nous n'étions que deux nous avons eu cette chambre à la place de celle initialement payé. Nous nous sommes donc rendu à la réception le lendemain pour leur faire part de notre mécontentement car la veille nous sommes arrivés tard le soir et c'est le vigile de l'auberge qui nous a fait l'enregistrement. La Responsable ose nous répondre qu'elle ne voyait pas le problème car nous n'étions que deux personnes et que nous étions dans une auberge et non un hôtel (allez chercher l'erreur nous payons pour une prestation et on nous demande de quoi nous plaignons nous ??). Et là a commencé le début de notre cauchemar car non seulement elle nous a mis à la porte nous n'avions plus de logement dans un pays étranger(en Afrique du Sud) de surcroît deux filles et à cause de ses mensonges Hôtel.com a refusé de nous reloger car elle leur a dit que nous avons refusé d'accepter la chambre standard. Résultat des courses à 19h nous étions à la rue à chercher nous même un autre hôtel qui était pour la plupart complet. Un anniversaire catastrophique à cause d'une mauvaise personne.

It’s overpriced and overrated as well. I expected more based on the reviews. The room seemed old and had a weird smell. The breakfast is only cereal and bread. It’s supposed to be an eco friendly hostel but is more to save money than anything else. Encourage you to not flash the toilet and saved the water you used after taking a shower!
