Reviews and Ratings
Isaac's Hostel is a gem for travelers! The staff is genuinely friendly and the community vibe makes it a fun place to meet new people. The location is just a short walk from key attractions, but the shared bathrooms and basic breakfast could use some improvement. Overall, it's a great value for money, especially for a first-time hostel experience.
I enjoyed my stay at the hostel, which is conveniently located near the airport shuttle drop-off and a short walk from key city attractions. The atmosphere was perfect for meeting fellow travelers, and the staff were genuinely helpful. However, the noise level was a significant drawback due to thin walls, and my private room had an unusually small bed that made sleeping a bit challenging.
I had a great time at this hostel! It's perfect for those looking to explore or party, with spacious rooms and generally clean facilities despite sharing amenities with many guests. The breakfast is quite basic and not very tasty, but the option to cook your own food is a nice touch. The only downside was the noise from the nearby train line, but closing the windows helped a lot.
I had a pretty good time at the hotel. The atmosphere was chill and I met many interesting people in the common areas. The rooms were clean and comfortable, which I appreciated. On the downside, the noise level at night was a bit higher than I would have liked, and getting a good night's sleep was challenging due to loud doors and bright light. Overall, it's a decent place with great vibes and free activities, but if you're sensitive to noise, it might not be the best fit.
I found this hostel to be a great bargain, especially since I booked well in advance and paid significantly less than others nearby. The atmosphere was laid-back and I enjoyed meeting a variety of people, though I did struggle a bit with the sink setup in the bathroom. Overall, it was a quiet stay with decent amenities, but I had some trouble with the facilities during my visit.
I had a solid experience at this hostel. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, really making my stay more enjoyable. The common areas are nice and spacious, which is great for socializing. However, the breakfast left a lot to be desired, and the water pressure in the showers was on the weaker side.
I had a really enjoyable stay at Isaacs. The highlight was definitely the friendly vibe and the staff's willingness to help—especially when they let me use the basement rooms for a quick rest upon my early arrival. The location is spot on, making it easy to explore, although I would have preferred a little more quiet in the rooms. Overall, it’s a great value for the price, but the squeaky floorboards can be a bit disruptive at times.
I had a decent stay with several positives, including the friendly staff and the convenience of 24/7 reception. However, noise at night from other guests and occasional cleanliness issues in shared areas were a downside. The location was also a plus, being not too far from the city center. Overall, it was a good value for the price.
