The staff was super helpful and kind, they helped me even for things not related to the hostel. Very cool place to meet people and socialize. They give you one free water/beer a day. They organize a fun pub-crawl every night.

I didn’t eat breakfast, but another guest told me it was good. The location was great, right in the middle of the old quarter. I had to look around a bit to find the place, cos it’s down an alley.

Good breakfast with fresh fruits and eggs on the terrace. Elevator to get to the last floor. The staff remained available and helpful. Location in the old quarter and close to good food and beer street. Big lockers (bring your lock).

Breakfast was great, the atmosphere was great (maybe I got lucky with the vibe of the other guests who stayed there). Staff let me hook my phone up to the AUX cord and play my own music.
