It was a fantastic hostel experience for me. I met so many great people on my first day there and with such a diversity of cultures it was always exciting. The location is right on dirty 6th Str and couldn't be better. But what tops it all are the amazing pub crawls led by Rara. Every night out was sure to be an unforgetable experience with free drinks, great tables and without a moment wasted in a line.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The staff was amazing and the location! I visited a lot of interesting things just walking around. Other locators were also really nice. This is the best place to meet some new people and have fun! I felt safe and welcome.

The hostel has a unique feel to it, the room was lovely and the kitchen cosy and well equipped. Great location and very helpful and friendly staff. And a speakeasy on site too! Exceptional.
