Pleasant
Liked: Really great location, very central. Great outdoor space to chill out, great views of the city. Booked 4 beds in a 8 bed mixed dorm but staff said we booked a 4 bed female dorm. Worked out okay as it was only the 4 of us in the room
Disliked: Staff came into our room multiple times while we were out, staff took belongings from our room and left a notice about our room being messy. We were shocked that the staff could come into our room freely when it wasn’t shared with other hostel members. Was disappointed with the lack of privacy

Cool people but otherwise overpriced
Liked: Nice staff
Disliked: Black mold in the showers, keycard reader for the room broke in the evening and was not fixed until late the next morning, no curtains on the beds or charging sockets near them

Very good
Liked: The shared facilities were clean, especially the bathroom, very organised, probably the best shared hostel I've been to. The location in the city and value for money was amazing. The shared spaces for leisure, like the bar, table tennis, movie theatre and multiple good places to chill outdoors and get good views of the city was great!
Disliked: The kitchen utensils and pans felt a bit unclean at times (but it's the best I've ever seen from a hostel), and it's not the hostels fault but a lot of people kept breaking the rule of "wash your dishes before eating" leaving the sink sometimes pretty gross.
