Old house converted to a hostel, but very homy for me. Nice amenities. Had a comfortable night even if it's located beside party places.

I went into reception and the lady behind the counter was so rude. I asked a question about pricing, she then scolded me about coming into the gate without ringing the bell but someone had opened for me…I turned away and said bye, she then proceeded to say good luck.

We were delighted with our stay in this establishment. It's right in the center of town and very easy to get to. However, as it was winter, the rooms on the upper floor were too cold. Otherwise, the staff are very welcoming and helpful.

I had an awesome time at Urban Hive! The guests were super nice and so was the staff :) The balcony is super cozy and there is a big kitchen. The hostel is very central (on long street) and there are tons of bars, clubs and restaurants close by. I would recommend staying there if you want to meet people and have fun.
