  : Really nice hostel with a very good atmosphere. It can be a bit noisy at night (lots of bars around) but not to the extent of not being able to sleep. The staff is helpful. Very chill vibe. I definitely recommend and would 100% go back. They serve the most amazing breakfast ever!!!!

  : - The staff living at the property were lovely and helpful, made it feel like you were staying in a cosy home with friends - The balcony and terrace areas were covered in gorgeous bougainville vines, I enjoyed having tea and reading a book there each afternoon - The location was perfect
  : - The property is a bit more run down than what the photos suggested - The shower and kitchen could be more clean

  : We stayed in a "double room with balcony". The room was dominated by the bed so no much room for luggage. The bed itself was comfortable enough but we could have done with some bedding - all that was provided was a small sheet. To be fair we didn't ask for anymore so maybe more would have been available if asked for. It was a shared bathroom but getting access to it was not a problem (there is one bathroom and a separate toilet per floor). Although breakfast was not included in the price, a vegetarian breakfast is served from 9:30am, payment is made via a donation box. They also cook a meal at 6pm which, again, you can join. The location is very good for accessing the Alsancak area with all of its bars and restaurants
  : We stayed there on a Saturday and Sunday night. Saturday in particular was very very noisy from the streets which didn't seem to ease off until after 4am. Then at 7am the nearby bakery opens and the noise starts off all over again. We had thought the 9:30am breakfast was going to be a bit late and we would be out and about by then but we were exhausted from lack of sleep so at least didn't miss the excellent breakfast! Sunday night was a bit better but if you are after a quiet location then maybe look elsewhere

Very Good
