    Very noisy as room was next to the road and the doorbell was loud. I brought a sleeping mask with Bluetooth headphones and it was very needed. Would still recommend staying there

    Adorable little hostel with impeccable vibes

    That I could not stay longer! Cannot wait to plan my next stay :)

    As always I had the most amazing stay in Olive! Such a lovely hostel with an amazing chill atmosphere! The hostel is centrally located, absolutely beautiful inside and out, very relaxing common areas, like-minded travellers and great staff! If I could rate more than 10 I absolutely would :)! Keep doing your Olive Magic! Looking forward to be back!

    Everything was great. Shana and the other staff were perfect hosts. Great location, homely, sociable, lovely atmosphere. I especially enjoyed having a mocha pot available and fridge to use. Thank you!

    Hostel with a lot of character. We had a private room that was by the street and had minimal issues with sound. Lots of showers and toilets around the building so never waiting to use them.

    People who stay here should be aware that there will be street noise until late 2/3am. If you're not out partying too, pack earplugs.

    There is a reason this hostel is highly rated and recommended on blogs. It is like no other. Would stay here again any time. Very chilled, open, friendly vibes.

    I have done a lot of worldwide traveling and staying in hostels all around Europe, south east Asia and Australia, this place is greatly located so your close enough to take a very short walk to the centre, bars, restaurants and night life but tucked away enough that you don’t get no disturbances from this. I have never stayed in a hostel where I have felt a place so relaxing, authentic to its country and welcoming as I felt with this place from the amazing environment and space they have with a warm an wonderful team of staff. I wish I could have spent longer in this beautiful home away from home 🥰🇵🇹🥰🇵🇹

    Everything was perfect. The atmosphere in the hostel is something else. You feel like at home. Its clean, the staff is nice. Despite the fact that it is a hostel, you still have pretty a lot of privacy. There is a nice rooftop, patio and sitting room. The hostel is quiet with relaxing music. It was my second stay and it was the same as before - simply 10/10. The bed is comfortable, they added privacy curtain to lower beds which is great. I like that the bathrooms are very private even though there are being shared. You can lock yourself in the bathroom and comfortably take a shower or use the toilet. On Sundays you have opportunity to get a massage from a professionalist at the rooftop in a really good price. I payed 30€ for 1hr massage! The location is great. The staff is nice. I slept in many hostels, in many different countries, but this one is the best so far. I recommend to everyone.

    During my (extended to a week) stay all of the other solo travelers were incredibly social! I made lots of new friends and the cosy hangout spaces like the roof and courtyard facilitate that incredibly well. Rooms are clean and well managed, personel is really friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back!
