In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central location — Steps from Liberty Square and the train station, with all main attractions within walking distance.
  • Included breakfast — A morning spread with breads, cereals, ham, and more, noted by several guests as a plus.
  • Social atmosphere — A lively common area with a bar, happy hour, and evening activities that make it easy to meet other travelers.
  • Helpful staff — Guests repeatedly highlight the friendly and accommodating team, from check-in advice to general assistance.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Street noise — Being in the center means some rooms pick up street noise, especially at night.
  • No curtains on top bunks — In at least one dorm, top bunks lack privacy curtains, which some guests found inconvenient.
  • Shared bathrooms for most dorms — Many dorm options rely on shared facilities, and some private rooms share a bathroom too.
  • Third-floor walk-up — The hostel is on the 3rd floor of a building without a mention of a lift in guest feedback, which may be a hurdle with luggage.
