Had a really great experience - friendly staff, free tea and coffee, excellent location, clean facilities, nice sense of community. Definitely would recommend to other budget travelers. My only complaint was they forgot to mention the special Easter prices for the weekend I was there. Make sure to double check the prices.

Loved staying at this hostel, as it felt like staying in someone's home! We stayed here for 2 nights near the end of December in the 8 bed dorm room. Great location, right around the corner from St. Stephen's Basilica, and the friendliest staff! Felt very welcome upon arrival, which is always nice. Also got some great tips and information... More

We got a private twin bedroom at this hostel. The room was alright, but the best part of this hostel is the homey feel. I reckon this hostel was a converted flat. There seems to be about 5 rooms of different sizes.There is a living room in the middle of the hostel and a kitchen. Lots of people hung out... More

I stayed here for 3 nights with a friend. It felt like we were staying in someone's home rather than a hostel. It was very good value for money. The staff were so friendly and always smiling. Around the time we stayed, late January, it was pretty quiet but that didnt matter. It was a nice place to relax, a... More

I can't think of any faults with the hostel. The location is superb as a base for exploring the city being within easy walking distance of the major sights and transport links. The staff are also really helpful and friendly. Whenever i had a query they were more than happy to help...calling friends and family if thats what it took!... More

My two friends and I stayed in an apartment a few blocks away from the main hostel, where they put people who have booked the 3 bed rooms. While we were happy with the service we received throughout our stay, we were also a little disappointed in the room. I think the worst part was that the beds were basically... More
