Great if you don’t mind the climb up the stairs

Although a great place, it doesn’t offer any facility to get up 3 long flight of stairs. With luggage, it was no fun. Also makes it difficult to keep going out on demand because of the climb up the stairs. But location is fantastic and staff is really good. Note that there is no staff onsite or reception at this location.

A four night break at an apartment here and it was an ideal location for us. A warm welcome from the team after a late flight and close to the centre of the city. Highly reccomend and we'll hopefully be back

The hostel is decorated imaginatively, the staff is extremely helpful, providing anything you request if it is available. Only 2 downsides: 1. It is a very old building with no elevator. If you can't walk 4 flights of stairs, this isn’t the place for you. 2. They do NOT take credit cards, even though all the booking websites say they do.They only accept cash or wire transfer and they only let you know this on the day of check-in. They also list the price in euros instead of the local currency. That being said, they are very relaxed about the payment, giving us ample time to get to a bank and withdrawing the money. All things considered I would stay there again. One last thing: the building entrance can be hard to find. Just look for the Museum of Failure; it's just to the left.

Very cute and comfy. The staff was sweet and helpful. The front entry is marked with a small sign that's easy to miss on first glance and there are lots of stairs to climb.

Great location, easy check in

This is a nice no frills hostel, the desk people are nice and friendly. The decor is cool. Others have noted that it’s a third floor walk up and the walk up isn’t lit, I didn’t think that was too bad at all, you have some light from the street so it’s not pitch dark by any means. Good location and close to all transportation. Not shabby by any means but definitely no frills, I would say if it’s a deal for you at the time of booking then do it. Only thing is that the private rooms don’t have an option for a private bathroom, only the larger apartments have that option.
