I really appreciated that they upgraded my room from a female-only dorm bunk bed to a micro room. However, the bedding condition was disappointing, as I found some stains on the bed from previous guests.

This property is a hostel. It is NOT fancy, but it IS clean and reception tries to be helpful. There is a tv, but it requires a subscription. There are different kinds of rooms over four floors with no elevator. There is an older radiator heating system. The location was a selling point for my particular needs. I did not try the meals. The real negative for me was that I had to leave early and there was no refund, and no warning that this could be the case.

This stay went far far better than my last. The welcome drink and free simple dinner plus the breakfast with a Mediterranean twist were all such a nice treat, thank you. Actually, I thought the breakfast options were great! (I would have liked some crackers to go with the Mediterranean fare.) I ended up switching from the dorm room to a private room (bed and fridge only, no bathroom) last minute, so I can't comment on the dorm experience. The private room is small, not much bigger than a large storage room, but I already knew that having stayed here before. Walls and ceiling a bit thin, but I was so tired I slept through. Bathrooms appeared relatively clean, but by evening some were quite low on paper. When I woke up at 6:20am, I noticed they had been replenished. Thank you. My only negative this trip is despite informing front desk in advance (at time of booking and the day before) that I would be arriving later in the eve, I was getting messages while still on the ferry telling me check-in is only until 9pm (even though front desk is 24hrs). This was not a good feeling. Staff rectified their error in a very satisfactory way. So heads Speaking of staff, each one I dealt with were very kind and helpful. All in all a great stay, and while I had reservations about returning to this place, I'd now feel comfortable to come back.

Love the place! Staff are great, Choose the room that suits you, the price is right. Happy Hour (bartender is a hilarious) dinner, breakfast included, the other patrons from around the world are great to chat with. Lots of stores & scenic areas to check out. Parking is on street, pay by daytime, you need to get the Park Victoria if staying over night. No charge 8pm to 8 am, but make sure to put a 30min or more in the morning if you are going to stay for the good Continental breaky.

The breakfast is basic and healthy, all you need to start the day. I completely enjoy the community feel of this hostel starting with the awesome, friendly staff, the meals, the bar/pub type area as well as the lounge. The times I’ve stayed there it’s quiet and rarely had to wait for bathroom use. It’s my fave place to stay and a great location! I’ll repeat how wonderful the staff are; kind, friendly and helpful.
