We spend four days in archipelago hostel in february and we enjoyed it. As well as well located, it was clean, and the receptionist was very sympathetic. Yes, the mattresses are thin, but the beds are so comfortable that you don't notice it and we slept very well. We hired the sheets and that is the only tiny little thing -- they were a bit too small and hardly stayed like we put them before sleeping. Yes, there was no receptionist on the evenings nor at nights but we knew that paying less money to sleep in a so nice place, right in the middle of the old town, meant to accept some conditions. We arrived after 6 o'clock in the evening and all went on well, as we were advised, for everything. we knew the doors code and found the keys well prepared in an envelope marked with our name. We appreciated the kitchenette to prepare breakfast or small meals. But there were two things we hated -- some selfish guests kept cups and kettle as well, in their room, and we could spend evening, night, and breakfast without seeing it. It appeared again at 11 o'clock in the morning, when everybody was gone out to visit and don't need it. As well, some guests, especially on the weekend, was noisy and spoke loudly and bang the doors during the nights. In this hostel, what was sometimes a problem was the selfishness of a few guests. It's not a four-star address and does not pretend to be. It's a very good one star address, I'm going to communicate it to my friends and go back there.
