The bathrooms and toilets need to be cleaned more often
The staff was very helpful

Nice bar in a great location, just a short walk from Rainbow Street.
My bed was closest to the door, so I was often woken up by people in the hallway; the sound insulation wasn’t very good. It would be nice if the bar had a richer menu, with more varieties of beer and some snacks, etc.

The kitchen was very accessible. I wasn't a fan of being on the 4th floor, but it is what it is. The bar was very good looking and the common spaces were clean and inviting. I highly recommend this place.
I didn't like being on the 4th floor. There's construction taking place next to the building, and that was a bit annoying as well. It would have been nicer if there was more parking available. The food options could have been better.

Room was comfortable
It’s not that close to the airport, the shower is open and moldy on the roof

I really like the stuff of the hostel. They were very friendly and helpful. Especially Kate at the reception. The atmosphere is very cozy and stylish. Although there were many guest, the personal could keep clean around. But of course sometimes it was dirty in the kitchen, but it refers to the guests, who don’t clean after themselves. I really liked the location as well.
The kitchen is a bit unpractical and there is just one sink, so it can cause queues. But it’s just a small minus.

Relatively cheap and close to restaurants.
No lift. Good luck carrying your 25kg luggage 3 floors up.
When I arrived, the receptionist said that my bed is still being made (it was a few minutes before their standard check in time) so I waited at the bar, expecting her to call me when it’s ready. But that didn’t happen. So I approached her after about an hour, and she said it’s now ready. So I went 3 floors up, struggling with my luggage. When I arrived, I was assigned to a used dirty bed (although there were several vacant beds that are already made up). So I called the housekeeper who called another one to make up the bed. So I waited on the side for a few more minutes.
The toilets are dirty all the time.

Cozy room, a kitchen with utensils and a laundry room, too! Beside these, great location, close to the sun voyage statue.
So far, nothing

The staff welcoming and warming, the kitchen & fridge supplies, the clean bed clothes.
At the end of the day, I went for three toilets until I found one with toilet paper.

They had an elevator in the works. Great location. Cute atmosphere.
Well, the elevator was under construction, and there was construction outside my room which was expected as they warn you in the email before arriving. It was fine for one night.

Wonderful
The space was a bit dark and rustic feeling, but I didn't mind. The bar and common area were very open and easy to be on your own or to mingle with all those staying. The room was tight but comfortable and the amenities were decent. The accessibility to the waterfront and the city is perfect. Recommend staying.
