    During our New Year stay, we had a fantastic experience at the hostel. The brand new rooms were great and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was a nice touch, with a variety of options including fruits, eggs, juice. The two unheated jacuzzis on the roof were a great addition and provided a relaxing spot to unwind after a day of exploring.

    One downside was the ongoing construction noise during the day, which made it difficult to stay in the hostel. Additionally, the room we stayed in near the kitchen was quite loud early in the morning.

    The location was great with lots to see and do nearby. The breakfast was also really good and set us up for the day. the staff was friendly and helpful, always making sure we were okay.

    The rooms were quite small and the noise from outside made it difficult to sleep. We also felt that the hostel was overpriced and lacked facilities for guests, leading us to feel quite disappointed overall.

    The free coffee and water were great, and the staff was friendly. They even gave an extra blanket when I was cold. The location was perfect, close to shops and restaurants. The breakfast was delicious and always varied.

    The dormitory was extremely cold, and the AC remote is shared, so it's difficult to control the temperature. However, the staff did give me extra blankets.
