A cozy hostel, that's actually an apartment. So you feel like at home. There's a living room, kitchen, it's never busy and I liked that. Female dorm has not 4 but 6 beds, but they're not fully occupied. The bathroom is clean and large enough. The beds were comfy, have curtains, lamp and a plug. I saw a hairdryer and an iron. Also free drinking water in the kitchen. For smokers there's a balcony. The infinity pool is stunning. If you have never seen something like this before, definitely go, it's worth those 10e/bed! Downstairs is a supermarket with a nice coffee and grab/bolt pickup point. The train station is 5 min walk. How to find the accommodation : Walk with Google maps towards the residence from the train station. You'll find yourself at the back part of the residence. Walk a bit, pass by the garage door and walk up to the left through a narrow arrival ramp, it's a road for pick up cars. It's the easy way to reach the lobby, where the host finds you. The communication witg the gist is through WhatsApp. Deposit for key is 50.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I had a very pleasant experience at the Hostel, the view is wonderful, the staff is kind and attentive, the structure of the building is great with an infinity pool, laundry, mini market. The Hostel was full of backpackers, so it was great to socialize and meet new people. The location is very privileged, close to the train station and 5 minutes walking distance to the shopping mall.

    The host is so friendly and helpful! The hostel is in a great location - so close to the shopping area and metro. It’s so clean and there’s plenty of space in your bunk! I did my laundry here too and it was so cheap and came back so quickly and so clean! Would definitely stay here again.

    Very clean, well located. Easy to get coffee downstairs and basic groecries in 7/11. Easy area for taxi pick up , in area which feels safe at all times. Good beds, showers, all great. I was intimidated by description of 20 beds per room, but actually very quiet and clean and neat, so doesn’t feel overcrowded at all! One of the best hostels i stayed at
