We stayed at the Backstay Hostel on its 3rd day of being opened this summer (2014). It is a great place to stay. The place itself is very nice and brand new! They have a cool "hangout" room where you can socialize, play games, play some music, and meet new people from all over. I made a couple of friends from England and Finland in the two nights I was there. The biggest attraction to the hostel was the accommodations and helpfulness of the hostel staff. We came into town not knowing where anything was at or having a place to stay and park and they worked things out so that we had a place to stay for the weekend. They spent plenty of time giving us good tips on places to visit and eat in the town. Over all it was a great experience and actually our most favorable hotel "experience" in our two week/four country tour of Europe! Prices were good too. Had a great time in a lovely city. Greetings from Texas!
Nice, some rooms still under construction. It has really good breakfasts, but the cinema room isn't open. There is a great all you can eat ribs cafe called little Amadeus just down the street. The hostel has a few boardgames and a lack luster kitchen.
Such a nice hostel, 10 min walk to the city center and great staff. This place has only been open 2 months but I highly recommend it. They have a nice bar and large restaurant seating area for breakfast. They offer standard continental but you can also make your own waffles and boiled eggs. Nice facilities for the kitchen if you choose to cook there. Great little bar inside the hostel. Super friendly staff with good recommendations and ready to help with anything. Extremely clean facilities and free use of washer and dryer! 15 bed dorm has beds 3 high which wasn't my preference but it still wasn't bad. Great place and good location, affordable and clean, overall a great place to stay In a gem of a town!
I'm getting to old for this. Great interior, decent food on a top location in a beautiful building. A bit understaffed when we where there, so service suffered. Nonetheless, kind and helpful staff. The sanitation what's well maintained. Our bed seemed to have succumbed to previous use, so the bed springs where on the floor. My back did not care for this.
Just been here to find a quiet place to work. Possible in the morning. They have a ok looking breakfast buffet but I just had a warm drink. Because it is a hostel, traveler atmosphere.
I really liked this hostel. The breakfast selection (free) was also much better than others I've had, which included waffles/toppings. The bathroom/shower area (3rd floor) was also clean and well maintained. No clogging, etc. Only negative is no lift, so if you're on the top floor like I was, you'll have to carry all your luggage up some long flights of stairs. Also, the fitted sheets are tiny and you will need to fold your mattress in half to get them to fit. Lots of work. And location is not the most central, so I ended up staying at a different hostel afterwards but regretted it because Backstay was much nicer, cleaner, more well maintained.
Horrible experience. The lady from the check-in only gave me a card for one day (we were in the hostel for two days). It would've been very funny to arrive at 2am and can't enter your own hostel. Our private double bed didn't have a desk and it was really tiny! (we were in the attic so more than half of the room was for midgets). This hostel (with 3 floors) does not have a lift. The shower was slippery and at a horrible 36ºC. That's not hot nor cold, so you can really just have a shower, not enjoy it. Our room was cold and the air con system was confusing. We slept on the mattress that was on the floor. They didn't even finish the slat, and had parts all over the floor. There were spanish people making noise in other room, and the reception was closed so we couldn't complain.
