Definitely recommend. Dry clean, eclectic vibe ni

Second day different room. Wanted to stay in a private room just because after using a dorm for the first night. No trouble with either and bed linens, room was very comfortable! The only thing is tbe or hate room was facing the street and if you open the window to let air in, it’s hard to sleep with the street noise. Maybe ask for a room not facing the street if possible

One night solo female

I was pleasantly surprised to see the dorms so clean. At least tbe one I was in was very clean and only had one other person with me. I stayed one more night and this time I took a private and can’t complaint at all! The only thing I would say for the dorms is maybe make the curtains darker in colour so if someone else turns on a light, you can still get light block and also add usb charger to electrical outlets if possible

I really loved staying here. My room was well designed, and had a nice place to work. The wifi worked great. I loved the cafeteria food and bakery. The area was quiet but right off the main strip. I would say it's a quick walk to the most touristy area, but with the hills nothing is a quick walk. Also it's right next to a badass feminist cafe!

We stayed at Selina in the middle of the week, so didn't have any issues with the noisy nightclub. Selina's own cafe is definitely overpriced and not worth it, so I'd recommend eating somewhere else. Everything else was great - the location is perfect and our room was very comfy. Perfect value as well

The room was extremely noisy day and night. One morning cleanijg staff barged into the room without knocking and almost caught us both naked. Had to ask for toilet paper. Service in the restaurant was awkward and at times even rude.

The girl at the front desk was dismissive and untrustworthy. She is lack of basic hospitality. I understand it’s a popular hostel, and she is busy but lying or not putting efforts is not a good customer services. I booked a private queen room bed, upon check in, she told me no single queen room is available and insisted on giving me a 4 person dorm room with a queen bed. I told her that is not what I booked. She dismissed me and saying it’s still a queen bed and guaranteed that I will be the only person in that room. I went to the room, I found a couple hair on the sheet, I am not sure that it’s even been cleaned. And No I don’t want the extra beds taken up space in my room when I have no need of it and that’s not what I booked. I went back down, I talked to her again and this time she gave me the room that I supposed to get. This was not the only time that she was not truthful… I realized that she said a certain lie so she doesn’t have to help after a few incidents. Also, dont waste your time and money on the massage service, I booked a deep tissue massage, and the girl was sitting on the chair while doing it (usually the masseurs use their body weight to go deep) asked her multiple time to do it harder, but it was just a waste of time. I was disappointed with this hostel services and would never be back or recommend it to anyone. There are other options.
