Probably one of the best hostels. The hostel is centrally located, easy to get from airport, near a Lidl, Jewish Quarters, train station, etc. The staff was amazing and the lobby area was beautiful. The hostel has fun activities for guest to participate while staying such as wine night, Bingo, etc. The rooms were cleaned regularly which was nice. The only downside is you may end up with the wrong hostel guest in your room. Unfortunately, our room had a person who came back late every night and got upset when others were getting ready at 7-9am.

I enjoyed my stay here at Maverick :) I think the double private rooms lack a bit of style and are on the lower end when it comes to amenities (no telephone in the room, no dnd signs, less of the typical hotel add ons) but it's really not a big deal especially for the price. We did have a room facing a blaring light that made nighttime seem like mid-afternoon so if you can only sleep in pitch dark that might be a concern. However, other than that it was pretty pleasant. The lobby area is great. It's lively and fun. There's also a shared kitchen which is a huge plus if you want to save some extra money since eating out in the city can get a bit expensive. The area isn't my favorite part of the city so that may be something to keep in mind. Overall, I would stay here again.

Excellent value, especially as breakfast was included. Really nice room (private bathroom for us, window onto central “courtyard”, quiet [might be due to January occupancy]) and good facilities (kitchen, bar, cafe) on the ground floor. Staff were friendly and helpful.
