I can't believe they claim to be a 'design' hostel! There's not a lot going for it from a design point of view. Their website makes it look like quite a trendy place, but once you get there you realise it's not. Please don't believe the pics on their site and take a look at my photos here for a... More

While the comments regarding the amenities and the cost are hard to argue, the location is great for going out and close to public transportation. Plus, the people are fantastic and very willing to offer advice. And pretty good at breaking down poor grammatical Spanish.

Looking at the Hostel's Web Site Photos this place looks clean and quite modern. Do not be fooled by this. It is old and dirty and overpriced at $55 US for 2 per night. There are much better places. It is worth more like $7 per night.

Its a "design hostal" so i expected a certain minimum of standard, more than your average hostal. The only designs i saw were the art on the walls, which were basically squiggles of something. Its an ok place, if you dont mind dirty bedsheets (blood and something else....), old furniture, poorly maintained rooms and bathrooms, basic breakfast, loud noise during... More

We are travelling since 4,5 months through central and south america and this was the most expensive an the DIRTIEST place we ever slept. We booked a twin. The room was really small: two beds and a small old metal closet. The bedspreads were very dirty. I´m afraid they were not washed since months or even years! The wash-bowl was... More

This hostel was in a great location, in the centre of Palermo which has many trendy boutiques, restaurants, and bars in the area. We got a private double room with our own bathroom. The room was a good size, albeit it could do with some new paint and a good clean! However the staff were friendly and were really helpful... More

I booked this hostel through my airline, thinking if they put their name to it, it was probably good. I was wrong. First, the pro´s: 1) Location: the hostel is about 4 blocks away from the Plaza Italia subte station. THis makes it easy to get to the main sights around twon. The hostel is NOT centrally located, but the... More

I stayed there for 5 days in a single room and it really wasn't absolutely clean as someone has mentioned. But re the place - it is really a great place - the bar area, patio and the living - everything was nice and positive. The staff was always amiable and helpful, though I've needed some assistance all the time:)... More
