I had a lovely stay at By Doors Hostel! The staff, particularly Diego, were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. The location was perfect, close to everything I needed. However, the room was smaller than expected, and the bathroom in the attic was a bit chilly. Overall, I would rate my experience as quite positive! 😊

I stayed at By Doors Hostel for a week and overall, my experience was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with recommendations. The only downside was that if you're driving, there's paid parking nearby during weekdays. But the clean facilities and vibrant lounge area made up for it.

My stay at By Doors Hostel was less than ideal. The rooms were small and quite cold, and I even had issues with noise from other guests. On the plus side, the location was convenient, close to the metro and local amenities, but overall, I would suggest considering other options if possible.

My stay at By Doors Hostel was a mixed bag. I really appreciated the friendly staff and the cozy atmosphere, especially the nicely decorated patio. However, the noise from the beds was quite disruptive, and the kitchen could use better equipment.

While they offer options like iced and frozen coffee, the kitchen could definitely be better equipped for cooking. Storage for food isn't obvious until you ask the staff.

The common areas were nice, and I enjoyed the chill-out zone. However, I noticed the piano was just for decoration and didn't work, which was a bit disappointing.
