It was my first time staying in a hostel and this one greatly exceed my expectations. Dorm bed is very comfortable and cozy, and the curtains allow good privacy despite the number of people in the room. Lockers have enough space and seemed very safe.

What I liked was the spirit of the place. The staff was particularly nice to me. Not too exaggerated but really friendly. I first was served by Jules. They make me really comfortable and find a solution for my messy check in. David helps a lot too. No info was forgotten which didn't make me feel like: hu... If I knew....I think he is the one I saw the most. He doesn't like cheese. But apparently he likes carrot 🥕 no one is perfect hein. ! Wondering if the cat got a raise recently? Cause he did the best job ever!! More food for him!!!

The place is clean. The people are amazing. There is a nice place to sit and chat with people. Beds were clean and comfortable. The staff take safety seriously. The beds each have an area to lock up your pack. If I end up passing through again I wouldn't hesitate to stay Durty Nelly's. Bonus the bar staff next door were really awesome. They kept filling my water bottle. Thank you folks.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
