Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Women-only policy — This hostel is exclusively for women, so it won’t suit mixed-gender groups or male travellers.
- Shared bathroom facilities — Rooms are dormitory style, and bathrooms are shared, which may not appeal to those wanting private en-suite facilities.
- Some minor maintenance issues — A couple of reviews mention broken items, like a bathroom stall lock or a lack of locks on some doors, though these appear to be isolated.
- No private rooms or mixed dorms — The property only offers shared dormitory accommodation, so those seeking a private space will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited on-site services — There’s no parking or pet policy mentioned, and guests note you can’t rent towels or buy basic amenities on site.

The location is great, just a minute's walk to the metro.”
8.3Verified guest“The hostel has a clean, modern interior with pretty decorations. Being so close to the underground made exploring the city easier. I really liked the big kitchen with plenty of space for cooking, and the overall friendly vibe.”
8.3Verified guest“As a solo traveller, I loved the range of amenities – a well-equipped kitchen, laundry, a work desk, TV room, fitness area, and luggage storage. The discount cards from reception were a nice bonus for shopping and tours. The staff were friendly and trans inclusive, creating a positive atmosphere. The location felt lively but not a party place, with locals around, and being so close to the metro was a big plus.”
8.3Verified guest“I stayed for a week during my solo trip. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, even offering me a glass of wine on arrival. The cosy rooms with privacy curtains were great, and they gave out free locks for the lockers. Even with shared bathrooms, it never felt crowded. The spacious kitchen was perfect for cooking and chatting with other guests. They had everything I needed – laundry, gym, TV room – and even discount cards for local shops.”
