The bathrooms and showers were very clean so was the room I slept in When I arrived I was told I needed to buy a daily membership to the hostel which was not on the website or not very clear enough and I was told if I want to lock up my valuables I needed to supply my own lock ( of course they did offer to sell me one ) that was never stated on the website so I had to carry around my valuables with me wherever I went

Cons and pros of hostels. Clean but limiting.
Additional fee for not being a member. Strict prohibition of water or food in rooms. Shared refrigerator. Squeeky metal bed frames. Some mattresses dip in the middle, uncomfortable. Shared bathrooms, so have to walk out room at night to use. Good breakfast. Clean up your own linens. Staff attentive.

Good but not for me
Not my type of travel stay. Eventhough I got the Suite, the service was not what I expected. Rules for the hostel with eating only in dining room, clean up dishes and utensils after uses, and no food in the bedroom are new to me. They also have Quite Time reserved from 11pm to 6am but the openings of the front doors and kids running can be heard loudly in my room. The front desk check-in was friendly. My kids like the bunkbeds but the other beds are Ok. Overall the stay was OK since It was a hostel experience that I never had besides Hotel Overall Services.

God beliggenhed
Meget fin beliggenhed i gåafstand til bla Fishermans Warf. Venligt imødekommende personale. Værelserne dog noget slidte og triste og virkelig korte senge! Morgenmad OK for et hostel.

Excelente para pernoite na cidade
Excelente hotel, custo benefício. O local é excelente é excelente perto de tudo. Não achei nenhum inconveniente a questão das fichas para usar o chuveiro. A quantidade de fichas são suficientes para um banho sem excesso. O excelente do hotel é a convivência com outros hóspedes, ganhamos até um salada saborosa feitas por um grupo de jovem e cedida para nós. Indico sem dúvidas.
