Staff are helpful. Location of the hostel is excellent. The hostel itself is stylish with good amenities and common areas. Breakfast is great. The only issue is the flushing system which is too weak.

We stayed overnight before catching a plane. The rooms are great with everything you need and a good en-suite shower room and very comfortable bed. Wonderful views too over the Harbour. We were allowed to check in early at no extra cost and they provided packed breakfast as we left very early. Would definitely stay again.

Cramped, oddly configured room

Good location, close to many points of interest. But had to walk up three flights of stairs to a cramped, oddly configured room with bed inclined at a fairlsteep 30 degree angle up, especially for a couple like us in our 70s. Really more of a hostel, as the name implies. Would not recommend for anyone over 50.

The location was excellent, the room had clean bedsheets and a clean bathroom, the walls / floor had seen better days and I struggled to ser how the actual room matched the website photos. Breakfast was plentiful and good, pleasantly surprised. Staff was very nice.

There is no aircon. They advertise that they do but appears they only allow you to turn it on at certain times of the year. Location is amazing but we probably wouldn't stay again as the room got quite hot and uncomfortable. Opening the windows didn't help all that much. It would be a 5 star place otherwise so worth a stay if you're okay sleeping in a hot room. It should be okay during winter or if they actually allow guests to use the aircon. The false advertising is pretty disappointing though. Otherwise the staff are friendly. They also offer breakfast included but we didn't try it. It's also a good idea to bring earplugs as the rooms are right near a bell tower that chimes throughout the night.

Very clean and well maintained hostel (I would use hotel). We lived in a standard room with twin beds on the second floor (XII) facing another building, and it was very quiet. I was glad that we didn’t have the view, as I preferred the quietness. Comfortable beds, nice dark room (wooden window shades), clean and comfortable. The hotel is in the middle of the old town, so everything is in the walking distance. We loved it, and would come again. Breakfast was good, had everything you could need (eggs, bacon, bread, coffee, croissants, cream cheese, some veggies). For the price you are getting a lot. Truly recommend.

Promised refund but hasn’t happened

Whilst the hotel was fine, I unfortunately accidentally booked two rooms instead of one. The hotel said it’s fine they will refund one. I contacted Hotels.com who have been unable to contact the property so my refund of over £100 still hasn’t been actioned.

Average - overpriced

This was the most expensive room in my trip and I stayed in old town centers in Zagreb and Athens. Very barebones room. Doesn’t even have a mirror and only one charging port in the room. Unless you get a room facing the sea, the view would be a block of wall of another building. Super claustrophobic. The breakfast staff was kind and nice though.
