Weary travellers were delighted to find that Tremini train station was a few minutes away, and that it was two minutes to the bus station and metro. It was also possible to get to some main attractions without the use of public transportation, which was a welcome feature for guests who liked to walk.
Wi-Fi certainly had room for improvement, according to guests who saw a need for better Internet reception. Many frustrated guests listed this as the one thing that they didn't like about their time spent here.
Quite a few guests commented on the less than desirable area that the hostel is located in. While not completely unsafe, guests noticed a number of unsavoury characters in the immediate vicinity which wasn't always ideal for solo travellers.
Many guests didn't like that there was nothing extra included in the cost of a night. Luggage storage, laundry and soap were all an additional charge, and several cautioned against paying the extra fee for breakfast, which guests unanimously agreed was not worth the cost.
