Great location, nice place & people, 👍
The good: The staff were really helpful and friendly, the room was spacious with huge windows and the location was perfect. There were lots of period features such as the big wooden doors and windows. The lockers in the room were really big which was great too, and all the people I met there were great and I made many friends. Towels provided, and padlocks could be borrowed. Bedding was clean and comfy bed. The not so good: could be a bit cleaner, in some places it felt a bit unclean eg the radiator in the bathroom needed a good wipe down and some areas were a bit tired/old eh carpet in dormitory. Worth noting: hostel was listed as being accessible for disabled guests, however I would say it was semi-accessible. Eg the access to the lift requires entering a code on a box about 6'/184cm high on the wall, and the old historic doors not designed for wheelchair access and proved somewhat difficult for getting around within the hostel. Some rooms have bath not shower. Please take it into account if you have specific accessibility needs especially if traveling solo

Bathroom Not so private
when you try to book the hotel you are informed that the room is private. I sent an email confirming if it would be really private because my friends and I prefer to stay in a private room with a bathroom just for our use, despite the description of the room stating that it is private, from the photos I thought that maybe it wasn't then I sent an email asking and they informed that the bathroom was in front of the room but it would be for our use only. When I got there I saw that it wasn't like that. the attendant tried to make me believe that private means sharing with rooms on the same floor. after complaining and sending an email with prints of what they had told me before, 2 nights later, when the room that actually has a private bathroom became available, they switched us to another room. better pay attention if the room you are in has a bathroom or not, regardless of what you have in the booking information. the shared bathroom was dirty for 2 days and when they went to clean it I realized that the cleaning was done badly

Good as always
Stayed years ago and even though it was quieter it was still fun as was with friends. Only weird thing was that my room had a shower but the actual bathroom was outside the room. Didn’t make much sense. But everything was fine as always

Great location. Clean facilities. They just need to upgrade the bunk beds. They make a lot of noise. Staff was friendly. It’s close to everything so you can walk pretty much everywhere.

Location is key but staff commitment for an enjoyable stay is paramount. Michiel made sure all guests were having a holiday they wound not forget. He goes out of his way taking guests on activities much more than expected. Quality and excellence are his natural characteristics while providing exceptional customer service. Owners should feel blessed having him and the entire staff run Hostel Downtown. Thanks and congratulations, everyone! Had a holiday that I would not forget for a very long time.
