- Great for the price! Location convenient to bus station.
- Staff are polite and friendly. Great location for trips.
- Staff, location and price.
Cons -
- No staff presence during the weekend. No Whatsapp messaging so can be a problem to contact international, but did reply to email at 2am so clearly monitored and ready to help!
- Cleanliness leaves A LOT to be desired. Saw no evidence in a week of pillows or duvets being changed or laundered, just fresh covers on the horrors underneath. The beds stink. Full of viruses and illnesses and honestly the most unhygienic place ever.
- I would rent a room with much fewer beds in order to be kess likely to be at the mercy of snoring and inconsiderate people who leave light on untol 3 am.

Good location for bus trips
Extremely handy location for me and at a great rate.
Easy check in, comfortable beds, easy to use washroom and shower facilities
No privacy at all in dorms. Had to come into a black room and try to figure out my bed in a room of sleeping people - not the best system
Staff were very friendly, lots of shower/toilet space available
Beds were not comfortable, kitchen was small
The location was good for getting to the university and city center, but beyond this, it is a sub-par experience.
Staff went home early and locked me out of my luggage. There is no one there at night to enforce quiet hours, which is problematic for obvious reasons. There was an obnoxious homeless woman staying in my room. Doesn't even have a basic breakfast.
Pleasant and helpful front desk staff.
Late night check in with the code.
This was my second time here and I like it. The entire building is clean, enough facilities for everyone (I never had to wait for shower), the kitchen is really nice and has everything. I stayed in the 10 bed room both times - everything was okay and I loved it. If you're used to hostels and are thinking of staying there, go for it. The beds are super nice, I always found a nicely done and fresh bed waiting for me. If you need to store your luggage, just ask for the locker room. The staff is always nice and helpful. One of the things I love about this place. :) Definitely can recommend!
Close to the center, nice bathrooms
Small, noisy
Clean, bathroom clean, room clean
No staff available on weekends.
Very friendly staff. Good location. Luggage storage before check-in.
I had bedbug bites for two consecutive nights. Though they moved me to another room and washed all my clothes and backpack, professional insecticides are needed. Regular cleaning is not enough to kill bedbugs.
The location was easy to find!if you book the airport bus, the drivers know exactly where Bus Hostel is. It’s also near the main terminal, which is very convenient.I’d like to thank Max at the reception,she kept me updated on when to book the aurora tour, and I was lucky enough to see the Northern Lights! The staff were all super friendly and helpful.This hostel is a one-stop place for everything.they also run the tours, so the prices are very affordable and the booking process was smooth.The room was clean and comfortable, with thick blankets that made me sleep so well. They clean the hostel every day, and there’s a kitchen on the second floor with utensils and plates available for guests.I also met a lot of fellow travelers here, which made my stay even more fun. It’s walkable to town, but we also rented a car and parking was free!I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
The facility is clean.
It is in the middle of nowhere. It takes 20 mins walk to the Flybus terminal and 19 mins city centre. There is no shop, no kiosk, no restuarants within 20 mins walk. The reception only opens at 9:00am. We arrived at 7:30am and we don't have the code/QR code to get into the hotel until 13:00 on the same day to check in. Therefore we had to wait in the coldness. Luckily one girl checked out the hotel early, after showing her my booking document and she used her code to let us into the hotel so we can wait in the corridor until the reception opened.
Staff working amazing, everything super clean and beautiful
Some gueess make a lot of noise late in the night talking by phone, drinking or looking movies
