I liked how nice and safe the neighborhood was plus close to the airport. I wasn’t able to join, but I also really liked that there were activities like yoga and Spanish lessons offered. I wish there was a stronger wifi signal to reach my room and that there was a fan or window to ventilate the bathroom.

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice staff. That’s the biggest thing for me is that the staff is very kind and helpful and responsive. This is very much a “hostel experience” where there’s a lot of people coming and going and a hot shower may or may not be possible and the showers have a tendency to puddle. But the facilities are kept clean and the biggest thing in my opinion is how good the staff is.

Good enough
The hostel is in a very convenient location, right by Arcos, an outlet shopping mall. It’s not the nicest hostel, it’s not the worst hostel. Somewhere in the middle. Everything is rather outdated, but it serves its purpose.

Couldn’t ask for more from a hostel
Stayed in other hostels that had bed bugs and creepy clientele. This one was very nice, friendly. Nice public areas and clean rooms. Nice bathrooms. Excellent deal.

So I left a detailed review earlier and liked my experience and would stay here again. Just make sure the shower works well a s I would ask them to not disturb you to clean the room. They come by in the afternoon about 2pm, I kinda used it as my alarm because I was sleeping most of the morning.

8/10 Very Good

So I picked this place because I was able to get a single double bed with a private bathroom, near Palermo ( it's in Palermo but about 18 minute walk from where the action is), for 7 days in November for 200usd. I stayed in 2 different rooms. The first was room 14. At the top of the 2nd floor with a window facing the court yard. It was noisy but this is a hostel, so bring some ear plugs. It was small just big enough for a double bed. The bed was comfortable. The shower was broken and had terrible water pressure. Not what I was hoping for after 12 hour flight. The 2nd room I had was number 9. It is much larger, has slot of room to move around and a little terrace. The bad part is that it's right off the main 2nd floor sitting area and it sounds like people are talking in your bed room. You will need ear plugs especially if you decide to sleep in. Over all I'm fairly happy and would stay here again.

nice hotel close to public transportation and staff are very nice and helpful. Only downsde is that the walls are kind of thin and everything echos so you cant really talk on the phone without everyone throughout the hostel hearing you

Nice neighborhood
Great room with convenient electrical plugs but a bad mosquito problem. My friend was fine as he never gets bit, but I have over 30 bites from staying only 2 nights. I shut all the windows but it didn't help. The room was spacious and clean but our en suite bathroom smelled like mildew. Great location and kind staff. Nice kitchen and fabulous patio for socializing.

4/10 Fair

Disappointment
Besides the noise, smell of smokers outside my window, and lack of wifi...I would not return to this place. The bed was sunken in, there was a puddle of water in front of the toilet, and the shower had only scalding hot water. What was up with the hole in the shower? It was like a peep show.
