Self check-in was quite convenient. I entered a warm, cozy room with all the necessary comforts. The bed was surprisingly very comfortable, the perfect firmness for me. The public spaces were quiet, rooms were well insulated. The bathroom was modern and kept very clean. I must say I was pleasantly surprised.

Awesome location, only 7 minutes from the train station and another 10 minutes to the port. I had a private room, it was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. There was also a really nice kitchen and common room.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The hostel is incredibly clean, organized and well equipped. Great location, close to the train station and walking distance to the main tourist atractions. The pre-checking is super good and cheers to the staff for the lovely letter and clear instructions. Probably one of the best hostels that I've ever been, congrats.

    This must be our 5th or 6th stay at CheapSleep. The place is squeaky clean and offers everything one needs from a youth hostel. We stayed in a very comfy private room, the shared showers and toilets were extremely clean. The bus stop for the public airport bus is just a 2min walk away and the 24/7 supermarket in the same building comes in handy. Great value!

    Price was good valve for a tight budget & the room was secure with passkey, which meant I could leave belongings safely behind whilst out and about. It was clean and had good facilities for a hostel.

    It was the best hostel I've been. They have 8 bunk beds per room, but it is from a very good quality so theres no squeaking or any kind of annoying noise, the lockers under the bed have a really good size, you can fit around 2-3 lugadge of cabin size, and they also have an additiinal lugadge room. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean, and the commons areas very cozy and nice. The location is very good, with all kinds of public transportation in a radius of 2-3 blocks. And finally, the staff was absolutely lovely.

    Amazing hostel in the city with great vibe. If you want to eat/ drink on a budget, you can use in-house restaurant, cheapest one in the city :)
