EmmanuelUnited KingdomThe hostel is not value for the money, expensive and poor service
The location was good
The breakfast was hurrible,the room was a disaster, duvet wasn't clean, we have to lay our bed ourself and when wey leaving we have to remove and take it wash room.
BeatriceEUPersonale gentilissimo e disponibile. Posizione perfetta. La mansarda era finestrata ma le finestre apribili permettevano una bella visuale. Belli gli spazi comuni.
Il bagno seppur pulito sembra sporco. Sarebbe utile…
lauraItalySe per 1/2 notti Hostel consigliato. Colazione ok
Posizione.
Stanze piccolissime e le finestre non si potevano aprire più di 5 cm
GiorgioItalyOttimo sotto tutti i punti: dalla posizione allo staff!
La posizione è ottima: basta girare l'angolo e si è in centro!
Lo staff è gentilissimo e molto disponibile: CONSIGLIATO!
Anche la pulizia è ottima.
