amazing hostel, worth the money

i think this was the best hostel i stayed in europe. it's super clean and organized, the staff is friendly and helpful, the area is safe and has great access to public transportation. the only downsides are the lack of a shared kitchen (you'll have to eat out everyday) and the location being a bit far from the central area of the city. you'll spend a lot of time inside public transportation.

Perfectly situated outside the main hustle and bustle. Very clean, comfy beds, good bathroom facilities (although only 1 working sink in ladies dorm was a bit tricky at busy times). Silent closing on the bathroom door would be a good addition, as would disabling the hairdryer after 11pm - no one should be drying their hair at 3am in a shared space!! Overall really lovely though. Recommended.

I had a great stay at The Bee Hostel. I believe the place had been recently renovated as everything looked very new, clean and modern. The beds were comfortable and provided as much privacy as one could hope at a hostel. The check-in process was easy and fast. The bathroom was kept very clean and the staff was very nice and kind. Highly recommended!

Me quedé en una habitación solo de mujeres. Hay que considerar que los espacios comunes no pueden estar limpios todo el tiempo, pero es algo que el lugar puede mejorar. El personal fue sumamente amable y atento, siempre dispuestos a ayudar y aclarar cualquier duda. El área cercana tiene el Museo del Holocausto, que es un lugar impresionante. El área es muy agradable y cercana al centro

Razoável. Não achei o hostel muito bem localizado se o foco for os pontos mais centrais da cidade. Achei muito longe dos pontos caminhando. O hostel por dentro era impecável, boa limpeza e conforto, mas a localização deixou a desejar para a minha viagem.

Clean hostel the woman only dorm felt safe with lockers provided that lock , a main door that locks to the dorms with restrooms in their to use . Right around corner is metro and bus stop and easy to get back to airport or walk to other parts of the city . The hostels property is smaller than some with not a lot of hang out space but ok plus side this seemed to keep the noise outside down
