Do yourself a favour and pick a different hostel. Not terrible for the price but it’s pretty dirty, uncomfortable and the beds shake like crazy. Staff was pretty aggressive and unwelcoming.

Chose this only as the last option

Do not stay here is you have any other options, it was very unorganised, i had no locker, didn’t get a blanket, and reception shuts at 11:30 pm so if you are coming later than that or your flight gets delayed you are sleeping on the streets. If you are solo traveler looking for friends you are gonna regret booking it

I had back luck this time, no beds available in the main floor and they sent us to the basement, too hot, no lockers, and restrooms and showers too far in the main level floor. A bad surprise because I enjoyed this hostel in previous visits.

The place is in a good location and staff was helpful and bathrooms and showers were kept clean daily. However, there was no individual storage or lockers and the beds are inflatable mattresses so it's very uncomfortable to sleep. It's also very easy to wake up to any level of noise and lights, and the rooms are very warm inside. It's very basic in what it offers so you get what you pay for, but I'd recommend paying a bit more somewhere for that added sense of safety and comfort.
