The rooms are fine, the bed is ok
The couscous night was great, I didn't go to the pub crawl but I heard it was bad.
Value for money was ok (about 25-30€ a night in march for a bed in a room of 4)

+++ Great location, nice staff, and the place was clean. In my room, there was 1 small bathroom for 6 people. I would stay again. Good value for money. --- I didn't like the way of storing the luggage after checkout. Nobody checked which luggage was deposited and taken away, anyone could walk in and out with whatever they wanted.

I'm 37 and wanted a holiday and break from work this month, but none of my friends were free. This hostel was the best place I could have picked for a social scene. The hostel was clean, cleaners around nearly everyday from what I remember. €3 euro breakfast if you wanted. €5 euro dinner every night at 9pm on the rooftop terrace if you wanted (and every meal was gorgeous). Amazing location. Quiet at nights and in rooms. All beds curtained off. Pub crawl arranged every night for if you want to meet people easily. Staff so helpful and friendly. Everything easy from the minute I checked in, to the minute the receptionist called me a taxi at 4am back to the airport. Met so many friends and all different ages there. It's so chilled, ran well and professional. Highly recommend! Katie x
