Very good position and nice staff! Really enjoy my stay! I was in a room with four beds but there I really enjoy knowing new people. The bathroom is quite small but everything is very clean. The kitchen as well!

I recently stayed at the Avalon House and really enjoyed my stay. Just remember, this is a hostel, so don't expect much and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I found that the staff members were friendly and helpful. In fact, they allowed me to check in earlier than specified since I arrived early. The atmosphere is fun and the location cannot... More

That's all the good stuff i have to say about it. The mattresses have stains all over them, the thin white sheet doesn't hide this. The... More

Having recently stayed here I feel it is way overpriced for this type of accomodation. Nowifi/internet available even in common aera. I had booked believing there was wifi availibility which was important to me. Breakfast???really?? Ive had much more for a lesser price. For only 10 euros more. for two people. found a great hotel room nearby. Wouldnt reccommend.

I booked a bed in this hostel because it is part of the Famous Hostels group. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. My biggest complaint is that the wifi did not work 95% of the time over the 3 days that I was there. I complained to several of the staff members and they keep saying it will be fix on... More

First problem detected there the hot water doesn't work at night, and taking a shower was a bad experience, the shower head is very close to the wall and water basically runs on on... More

A very very small (only one could stand) private twin room with toilet and shower (not too fresh smelling) way down the hall. In the room a sink that has push buttons that you have to really hard push again every 10 seconds. A very basic breakfast in a nice breakfast cafe, where they tease you with extras that you... More

I chose this place because the fee per night for a private room for a single traveler was very reasonable and... More

Good location, nice kitchen, the place was clean in general, some of the staff could have been friendlier, beds quite uncomfortable. Not sure if I would stay there again, mainly because I didn't sleep very well, think it was also due to the location of the room, which was right next to a busy street and every night I could...
