How the separation works
The hostel has 4 rooms. 2 of them — Peach and Green — are women only, with 4 beds each. The other 2 are men only. There are no mixed rooms at all: when you book a bed, you book it in a room of your own gender.
Men do not enter the women’s rooms — not to call someone out, not to hand something over. This is not "we try to keep an eye on it"; it is how the place runs, and the owner lives here and sees what happens.
What is shared anyway — and we say so upfront
Separate rooms do not mean a separate floor with its own bathroom. This is worth knowing before you book.
- One shared shower and one toilet. There can be a wait at peak times.
- You book an individual bed in a shared women’s or men’s room. There are no private rooms and no ensuite bathrooms.
- The kitchen is clean, the stove is wiped, and shared areas are left in order: everyone tidies up after themselves. A small thing that makes this a home. Tea and coffee are free; fridge shelves are available for guest food.
Lockers, keys and access
Every bed has a locker and personal storage space. Reception hands you the locker key and it stays yours for the whole stay.
After check-in you have a key to the hostel and can come back at night. Nobody asks where you have been or locks the door until morning.
The beds are wooden and the mattresses are orthopedic. Every bed has a power socket, a locker and personal storage. Reception provides the locker key.
Doors, cameras and who has access
Only checked-in guests get a key to the entrance, and reception keeps an eye on the door. Nobody walks in off the street.
CCTV covers the common areas only: the entrance, the corridor and the kitchen. There are no cameras in the rooms or the bathroom.
Quiet hours and visitors
Quiet hours run from 22:00 to 07:00. They are about noise, not about movement.
Visitors are welcome until 22:00 and in the common areas only. They do not go into the rooms, and certainly not into the women’s rooms.
What the two rooms look like

I live here, behind the next door. If something feels wrong, you do not have to find a manager or write to support — tell me.
