I was supposed to stay in the jolly for 1 week,but i ended up staying 3 months!The staff is really friendly and helpful.The hostel is well equiped,a nice big kitchen,comfortable tvroom, nice outdoor and indoor sitting area,... The showers are a bit annoying sometimes as the water changes temperature,but thats the only remark i can make! location is awesome, right in the heart of the cross, but still very quiet!Everyone knows each other,its like a big family!I love it! Definately coming back!   Read Owner Comments

The free breakfast is great, good security and the staff are really helpful, just a note that if you are on the first floor, that people are loud   Read Owner Comments

They do not have any towels in the hostel, not even to hire, so have to go to supermarket and buy one.   Read Owner Comments

Don't use the 'free pick up from the airport' service they provide. I stood there waiting for 2 and a half hours before the bus came. I was calling up and kept getting told 'it's 5 minutes away.' If I had've been told exactly how long away it actually was I would've just caught a cab or the train instead.   Read Owner Comments
