This is a basic hostel. Our private room was fine, and I would say the price matched the quality. All staff were nice, some were particularly lovely. The "free breakfast" was a complete disappointment. Loaves of bread beside a toaster and boiled eggs to peel, was not what I was expecting. It is also really packed and rowdy in the mornings and not in a friendly communal way. Recommend avoiding the kitchen for breakfast, plenty of coffee shops nearby. Would recommend this hostel if you just want a basic place to crash near enough to the centre.

A hostile hostel The Dictionary is now. Dangerous. Abusive. Unpredictable. We left some positive comments about The Dictionary Hostel a year ago and gave them a high rating in February LAST YEAR (02/2017). We do not want our last comments to mislead someone. When we put our favorable ratings a year ago, Karin (Karine) was the Manager and Berta was the receptionist who we first met. Our favorable rating was mostly about them and some other professionals who do not work for the Dictionary Hostel any more, regretfully. All sorts of things changed. The staff is overworked and underpaid. The turnover is very high. Some of the staff members leave. Some others from those who do stay feel frustrated and they lash out on their clients who they see as scapegoats. Some others turn to alcohol for comfort and they drink in communal areas in full view. The guests’ stuff (food and other things) from the fridge in the kitchen keeps disappearing and /or being deliberately destroyed by the abusive staff and abusive management. Manager Karine who was the manager a year ago treated her guests as valuable customers. Current management treat guests as pieces of garbage. The place including The Translate Bar has become a hotbed for alcoholics and drug users.

Overall great value for the money, id stay here again. Can get noisy outside at night due to the bars around. Building is very cute, nice decoration, hallway is a bit of maze. Bedding is very warm and the dorms are spacey.

Friendly staff and good kitchen. Good WiFi and multiple places to charge your electronics. The showers and beds could be better.

I love this Hostel! I have stayed here twice now, both great experiences. Short walk to an underground station and lots of incredible restaurants nearby. Also if your into street art this location is in the heart of it!
