Great terrace for food and drinks with views of a busy street. Convenient location with plenty of nearby restaurants and bars. Private twin rooms offer good value and have a sink for getting ready. Unbeatable party atmosphere, both on the balcony and in the in-house bar. Clean facilities, including bathrooms and kitchen.

I had an amazing stay in this city center hotel. Its location was perfect, right near all the iconic tourist sites. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen and a fabulous balcony area. The staff were incredibly welcoming and willing to help with anything I needed. Additionally, the hotel was surrounded by many shops, making things easier during my stay.

There was nothing I didn't like.

United Kingdom, December 2022

Located in the bustling city center, Urban Hive Backpackers is the perfect base for young families looking to explore. With its close proximity to nightclubs that only close late in the AMs, parents can enjoy the vibrant nightlife while the little ones sleep soundly. The clean and well-maintained rooms offer a peaceful retreat after a day of adventure. Plus, the staff is warm and welcoming, ensuring a comfortable stay.

Some areas of the hotel could use improvement in terms of cleanliness and hygiene.

Friendly staff. Comfy living room. Clean kitchen. Nice and quiet indoor yard. Huge terrace facing busy street. Lots of nearby restaurants, cafes, bars, museums, supermarkets, and shops. Easy access to public transportation. Beautiful Victorian park close by. Great value for little money.

Felt extremely welcome, nothing too much trouble.
