Detailed Reviews
Staying at hosteller was an experience that far exceeded my expectations for budget accommodation. From the moment I checked in, the friendly staff made me feel welcome, providing tips for local sights and eateries that only a local would know.
The hostel itself was a blend of comfort and functionality, striking a perfect balance between privacy and social interaction. The dorms were clean, with comfortable beds and personal lockers for securing valuables. The shared bathrooms were kept spotless and were surprisingly modern, with hot showers available 24/7.

Cleanliness can be focused on a little more. Overall experience was nice. Good and worth as per the price.
The hotel garnered generally positive reviews, with guests appreciating its central location, friendly staff, and comfortable accommodations. Many highlighted the efficient check-in process and the welcoming atmosphere. The rooms, while generally satisfactory, received mixed feedback regarding their cleanliness and modernity. The on-site amenities, including a decent restaurant and basic fitness facilities, contributed to an overall pleasant stay.
Some guests noted minor inconveniences, such as occasional noise disturbances or limited dining options, impacting their experience to a small extent. The hotel's affordability was often cited as a strong point, making it a reasonable choice for budget-conscious travelers. In summary, while there were aspects that received praise, a few areas could benefit from improvement, resulting in a satisfactory but not exceptional hotel experience.

The plumbing in our bathroom 303 was faulty. There was an issue which meant the water from the sink, backed up. Most importantly, this had most definitely been going on for some time because the smell was pungent and unmistakable and hit you on arrival. It was not a recent occurrence as the smell was too bad.
I asked to change room and couldn’t.
The staff’s solution was to spray our room, including the curtains with the strongest disinfectant I’ve ever encountered. This was done in front of us, and made sleeping in this otherwise lovely room for 3 days extremely unpleasant. I woke with a headache. The replaced the soiled downpipe but that was not causing the issue. This was an highly unacceptable sleeping experience on the whole, it was not fit to rent out.
Such a shame as the hotel is great and the daytime staff were extremely friendly, but the maintenance program let the hotel down dramatically.

POSITIVES: Convenient location, nice rooftop terrace, good size of private room
NEGATIVES: Prestay communication with hostel was very complicated. Very hard to reach and get replies on time. Also, they dropped the rates significantly after I booked, I was lucky to find out and rebook again otherwise I would end up paying 50% more. The place is dirty, reality is far away from what you see on the pictures. I ended up missing 100 USD cash and while hard to prove, someone must have entered my private room and took it. Avoid this place!

Hostel has good rooms with nice environment and beautiful views of the cloudy mountains in front. The staff is very friendly.
The one inconvenience however is it's location which is slightly far from famous cafes, or attractions, and the road leading to the area gets pretty dark at night.
