    It was all good.

    Great hostel. My first time staying in one and it was a good experience. The reception team were very helpful, giving me advice on the area how to get across the sea to the other side of Brindisi. Extremely close to the airport. I walked from the hostel to the airport in about 15 minutes. Comfy beds, very clean, nice cafe.

    I had no issues and was very happy with my stay. It's worth knowing there are no kitchen facilities and there is not a large communal space. The town centre is a bus ride away, it may be walking distance but I don't know if it's a nice or safe walk.

    The hostel contacted me by WhatsApp to confirm my arrival time and gave me directions on request to reach the hostel by bus. The hostel was immaculately clean and the 8 bed female dorm was so spacious it didn't feel as though many people were in there. There are lockers to use with keys provided. The showers were very good and extremely clean. You can get food and drinks from the onsite cafe.

    The best hostel in my life! And definitely #1 hostel in the whole country! I had to stay there for 3 nights only and fly to Lisbon, but liked it so much that I cancelled my flight and decided to stay there for 3 weeks. The staff team is awesome, everybody is super nice from the manager to all the barwomen :) All the spaces and rooms are super clean, mattresses and pillows are comfortable, linen is fresh and new, 🔌 to charge the phone are all over around, perfect Wi-fi everywhere (and it's not so typical for Italian hostels, trust me:) and giant plasma TV with Internet in the dining room. Absolutely perfect, no minuses at all, highly recommended to everyone, 10/10!!!

    Very confortable hostel in Brindisi
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Quadruple Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    In the bathrooms you don´t have many places to put your stuff, so when you go take a shower is easy to drop some clothes and get then wet. Around the sinks, you don´t have many places to support your case. The temperature of the shower changes a lot and it was a little hard to get a hot bath.

    The staff is amazing, the place is very clean and cozy. The beds are very confortable and the place is very new. The coffe place is very nice and the food that they have there is very good. It´s a place to feel very welcome. The hostel is very close to the airport.

    No cooking facilities, just a microwave without cutlery/plates. However, the cafe downstairs were kind enough to give me a bowl and cutlery. Lights are very irritating. There any many switches and they're not labeled so people would accidentally switch them on throughout the night. Also there's a switch in the bed right where your knee goes if you roll over... Lastly, listing says they have power adapters but they don't.

    Aircon in each room, comfy beds and private showers and toilets. It has a lovely outdoor seating area and the staff are lovely

    Everything was great!

    The service was so incredible! I had a very long and tiring day before arriving and was quite stressed, but the team at the hostel were nothing short of amazing. They organised a driver to pick me up from the train station, take me to the ferry to organise my transfer to albania the following day and then return me to the hostel before check in closed. They were so kind and caring, they even took care to ensure the driver could pick me up at 5am the next morning to take me to the ferry. I cannot talk highly enough of them. The bed was the comfiest I have had in 3 weeks and everything was extremely clean! Would book again.

    Shampoo and bath soap were not available in the shower. I am not sure if it was included in the booking. We luckily brought some with us. Thus, it wasn't really a big problem in the end.

    The staff were very friendly and super helpful. Very good communication before arrival. We arrived 1 minute before closing as our plane was delayed, and there was someone waiting for our arrival. Pre arrival check-in was available, and they provided instructions in case we arrived after closing time. The place was very clean and well maintained.

    The only thing is the location, which is a little bit off from the city center. However, it's easy to get into town by either boat, a 30 min walk or boat.

    I couldn't have asked for a better stay. Staff was so helpful, the rooms clean and comfortable and there was a lovely little terrazzo where you could enjoy snacks and drinks from the bar connected to the hostel.

    I would like to have refrigerator😊

    This hostel is the best I have ever been. Like all-inclusive. Very comfortable, clean, quiet. Very nice people work there. If you have some problem (like me), they help to find the way from this situation. I'm very appreciative. Very nice place. Near bus stop. If you need you can rent a bicycle or car. Or take some excursion. Very comfortable. Thank you.

Here air conditioner works! Very nice price/quality ratio. I recommend! P.s. There is a small wish/suggestion: to have a small kitchen for self-service,Would be very convenient for travelers

    The toilets and shower rooms are cleaned every day, it's good to use until 6pm because roughly around 8pm it's very wet and a bit dirty. Some of the toilets cannot be locked.

    Very new and clean hostel. The room is very large with a lot of space. There's lockers in the corridor with camera to observe (I guess) so it's safe. The receptionist can give good advice on time for the bus because it's quite far to get to city centre and the beach.
