I would absolutely stay here again because it’s adorable but my room was right over the kitchen and it was SO LOUD! The beds are not the comfortable either but for the price you deal with it.

We booked the "rockstar suite".. my only regret is not spending more time at Selina. Beautiful BoHo property, loved the size and privacy of the suite, and the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. Looking forward to staying again soon!

6/10 Good

I found it incredible that a kitche was advertized but there were no cups or plates anywhere to be seen, and the staff at the restaurant refused to give us cups. All we wanted was to make some tea and we could even do that using the shared kitchen. They told us to go buy cups.

Beautiful place Great location Loud music from 7:30am to 22:00pm… you can hear as if it is in your room Staff is nice but they need more training ;)
Marie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful building but a terrible nights sleep.
The Selina here has great potential but was a let down. A mattress with no support, creaky floorboards, thin walls, and poor quality windows meant we found it very tricky to sleep with all the noise that went until 2am, and then started again at 6am. Lovely location, friendly staff, and decent food, but if you want to be able to sleep, consider staying elsewhere.
Brendan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

My first hostile room
Love the old world charm of building, staff were friendly and accommodating and people some English which was helpful! Bathrooms need repair (stalls don’t lock, no paperwork entire stay, tp holders broken), walls very thin so lots of very loud smashing in night even though i wore earplugs. Cafe on site was adorable and made a great cappuccino! I’ve stayed at hostels before but only private rooms. This was my first time to have a private room with shared bathroom. It was doable!

2/10 Poor

Very noisy, windows have no insulation. Hard to sleep with so much noise all night.

6/10 Good

For a hostel it was expected that problems would arise but for one there was no water for 24 hours because the city is under water restrictions but it would have been nice to know. In addition there was hot water only 3/5 nights, they had no tvs but only hdmi for people who had lap tops, when we asked for Apple TV as their sign promoted they did not have such thing. They did not do daily housekeeping as I paid for in a private room therefore no new towels either, as the shower door did not close and water kept spilling out onto our bathroom floor. The front desk knew minimal English and did not have good directions to anything. Music was on till 11pm so just be aware if you are a lite sleeper. Great thing is the area was walkable distance to food, markets and touristy museums. If you did any of the famous tourist things you would have to book and it usually took 2 hours to get there and back, so keep that in mind if you are staying in this downtown area. I would probably still come back because the price and location. Book yours privately instead of the the hostel.

8/10 Very good

Looks just like it did in the pictures. They play loud music which can get annoying at times. They usually stop before 11pm. Drinks are overpriced and food is okay. There is a breakfast place up the street to the right. You will need other options. Also they have heaters so request one. Overall 4/5
Johana, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

The walls in the older portion of the property are very thin ir not completely sealed between rooms. Noise between rooms is loud and can inhibit sleep in this front area.

Bela, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

We booked a room with a private bathroom. When we arrived, we were told that we would have to use a shared bathroom. We immediately changed locations, but the property still charged us full price. The receipt clearly showed the room was booked with a private bathroom, but the guy at the desk said that recent rain had caused a shortage of rooms. He apologized, but still charged me full price.

2/10 Poor

The hostel/hotel is more of a restaurant than a venue to stay. I was in the main building above the bar in a private room (booked for peace) and live music begins very early at 7am and runs until 11pm. They had people selling goods in the foyer. More interested in profit than giving their guests a restful nights sleep. There is definitely a balance that needs to be achieved. I was told the music would end at 9pm, it went on until 11pm so I had to complain and was met with blank stares from management. I asked for country managers details to complain, I was never sent these. Terrible hostel. Would not recommend at all.
