Well set out and roomy… fantastic location!
The place holds its heat and in the middle of a heat wave this was a little uncomfortable in the heart of the building…

Located right at the quayside, the hostel is in the middle of town. The dorms have four beds, there is a large guest kitchen. In the basement and cellar, there are lounges, although only in the basement there is wifi reception.
Some beds have neither power outlets nor USB chargers; there is no space for your luggage in the tiny rooms, since the space underneath the beds is taken up by obnoxious and impractical wire cages for your valuables. So the floor between the beds gets covered by luggage. There are not even hooks to hang your jackets.

The location is great - it's right by the harbour, which made for a really nice experience.
I was assigned a room on the 5th (top) floor, which clearly looks like a poorly integrated extension to the building. My stay coincided with a heatwave, and the room was absolutely suffocating. There was a fan provided, but it did virtually nothing to cool the space down - it just moved hot air around.
For the price I paid, I expected much more humane living conditions, especially considering that the property prides itself on being eco-friendly. It’s particularly frustrating because the lower floors actually look quite decent, while the top floor feels completely neglected.
The shower facilities were also highly questionable. They had no ventilation whatsoever, making it intensely stuffy and far too easy to overheat while just trying to wash up.
Overall, a very disappointing experience and poor value for money.
