  : Breakfast and the bar. My 5 mark is because sadly I lived half the experience. Read below.
  : The day I checked in (around midnight), the guy who was at the front desk didn't mention that the building of the new deluxe aparments was under renovation. He just mentioned how to get to the place, that was 4 blocks away from the regular hotel site. Instead of offering to walk me to the new place to explain all the caviats, I got there by myself to find a total chaos at the entrance, no human beings, no lights or signs whatsoever to illustrate how to get in the apartment. So, that first night (already midnight), I had to go back to the front desk, let the guy know the situation and instead of explaining me or directly showing how to properly get into the new apartment units, I had to spend the night at a regular small room at the main site, despite of paying beforehand the deluxe apartment. The next day, the new front desk lady: Maia, took care of the whole situation and had somebody from the staff to walk me to the under renovation entrance and showed me exactly how to get in the new apartment. Turns out that in order to enter the new apartment complex, first you need to cross a dark tunnel, then go to the first building under renovation to the right and take the keys that are inside a dusty mailbox, then go to the second floor under renovation as well (stairs and walls are not done yet), then go through some gray plastics hanging on the unit door in order to get in the apartment.

  : Great location, cute design. You can borrow towels from the reception, which I didnt know on my first day. They dont have locks on the cubbies, so bring your own, or buy one at reception

Very Good

  : The only plus consists of the central location
  : In my opinion, this place somehow lacks the Hostel atmosphere, not least due to the fact that it consists more of a bar with an attached dorm. It should also be mentioned that the terrace and the pool are in fact part of said bar, not of the hostel, meaning that there are also non-residents of the Hostel present. This also means that its rather busy and noisy at night with many people hanging around in the yard. One bathroom per floor, I left very early but I expect it to get quite busy in the mornings. The rooms are only lightly soundproofed, so you hear quite a lot of the hallways activity. As everyone has to open the door with the keycard, the constant beeping of all the guests entering might get bothersome at some point, as its also impossible to open and close the door without making noises.WiFi also didnt work properly in the room despite strong signal, seems like there was too much traffic on the network. Id also rather have a towel and a lock on the lockers than getting a free shot at the bar.

  : Very good location. Awesome bar. Kind and smiling staff.
  : The only thing I didnt like was the air conditioner in the room left for the use of the guests where anyone can change temperature the way they like. I woke up freezing in the middle of the night because someone was feeling too hot.
