Service was excellent. All the staff I dealt with were genuinely friendly, helpful, and seemed happy in their jobs.
The rooms were quite modern, comfy beds, and generally quiet. But please just consider the volume of the music in the bar downstairs, as my final night (tuesday) was actually a little loud.
The only thing that really annoyed me is that they charge you to store your bag prior to check-in. Iām sorry, but Iāve stayed in hotels and hostels all over the world and never had this. Iām a paying customer who wants to store my bags before check-in and youāre gonna ask for a fee? So I didnāt, I actually took my bag to the nearby newton hostel I stayed at the previous night and guess what - they let me store my bag for free, even though Iād checked out! Please drop these ridiculous charges. Remember, backpackers are trying to save money when they can. I paid more for this hostel already, as it looked nicer (and was). Donāt want to have to pay silly fees on top. Please donāt give me an excuse. ;)
Other than that, itās a nice hostel which I would recommend for sure!
