Enter through a small door in a bigger gate to this comfy place with a nice atmosphere. It kind of feels like your second home after a few nights. Places were clean, common areas were nice and kitchen was well-equipped.

But - they didn't provide towels to the quests on arrival. When I asked for one, they said they are renting them for 1€. It's not a bad price, but I've been to tens of hostels, including even cheaper ones, and not once has any of those charged for a towel rental. I'm a man of principle and dried myself with my clothes, rather than paying.

Also, their "waffle breakfast" is just two small waffles made from the cheapest ingredients, but at least the lovely staff prepares them for you by request. I never saw anyone having more than two waffles and didn't bother to ask for more myself. For toppings there's just two kinds of jam.

In the kitchen, all the knifes were so dull that you couldn't even cut a soft tomato, alone chicken with them.

But I'll end my review in positivity, saying that the hostel is unique with all it's artworks, was on a perfect location, the staff were sweet and helpful and I would stay there again!

On a pedestrian street off the town hall. €1 towels. The usual expat crowd and ubiquitous waffle b-fast. Entrance through a very short door.

There is a guy here who is a caricature of the drunk Englishman. If there is a door he can bump his head against, he will. He forgets his door codes at 3 in the morning and buzzes the entire hostel. He has that over exuberance and uncomfortable enthusiasm for the most banal of topics. Everything he says you agree with and everything you say he is poised to take offense at.

One of this type I encountered at Amsterdam, while we discussed our mutual unintelligibility, shouted at me that what I speak is "the Queen's English". What he meant I'm still pondering.

Great hostel, with nice staff and some amazing activities during the day to get all the guests to socialise. Would be nice if they had a few more showers in the reception building.

Too much of hype with high ratings. This was a noisy hostel mainly because it was hosting a lot of people. As the bathrooms and toilets were shared by a number of people, they were not so clean. The social space was also very small.
However, the hostel is in the heart of the city. They also provide free waffles for breakfast. Mostly importantly, I am very much pleased with the staff behaviour. They are very helpful. I had to leave early morning at 6. I was taken aback when one of the staff members said that she could make waffles for me if I needed, despite being so early in the morning. I said 'no', but that gesture really impressed me.

Best hostel I've ever stayed in so far. Very nice staff. Great, family like, atmosphere. Would always recommend and come back!
