Guest Reviews
Location
Guests also note the blend of modern facilities within a beautifully renovated old building, which adds to its charm. The rooftop terrace often garners praise for its design and is an extra perk for those looking to relax and take in the city's sights. The atmosphere of the hostel is described as quiet and relaxed, despite being situated in a busy central area.

Breakfast
However, some reviewers found the breakfast options to be uninspiring and lacking variety, pointing out the absence of savory items like meat and cheese. While a portion of guests felt that the breakfast was more than adequate for the price, others were less impressed, describing it as poor quality or even awful due to processed and low-standard items.
The breakfast setup is generally self-service, running early in the morning, which many found handy, especially for those with early travel plans. Cleanliness and replenishment were occasional areas of concern with mentions of expired items and missing supplies.
Yet, for those who value convenience and cost-effectiveness, the included breakfast remains an appreciated amenity. The breakfast, paired with the hostel's overall good value for money, friendly staff and excellent location, makes it a compelling choice for budget-conscious travelers.
Rooms
Despite the comfort, some concerns include the lack of proper ventilation and air conditioning, leading to hot and sometimes uncomfortable conditions inside the capsules. The capsules can feel a bit claustrophobic for some and they are not completely noise-proof, so sounds from other guests can be heard. A feature that could be improved is the security, as some capsules cannot be locked, which could compromise privacy.
The common areas receive positive feedback for being spacious, modern and equipped with high ceilings and beautiful terraces. The hostel staff are described as pleasant and helpful, contributing to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the lockers provided are spacious, but there is feedback that more hanging hooks for clothes and towels would be useful.
Overall, HosteLit delivers a clean, modern and cozy capsule experience with room for improvement in ventilation and noise control.
Beds
However, the reviews also reveal some consistency issues with the mattresses. While many found the mattresses comfortable, others mentioned that they were either too soft, too hard or in poor condition, leading to discomfort. Despite these sporadic concerns, the hostel still manages to provide a generally pleasant sleep experience, especially considering the affordable price point.
Additionally, guests appreciated the hostel's central location and noted that, in terms of amenities and cleanliness, it rivals a traditional hotel. Recommendations include bringing earplugs for light sleepers and being aware that not all beds can be locked for security. Overall, the comfort and privacy provided by the capsule beds are notable highlights, making HosteLit a noteworthy option for budget-conscious travelers seeking a unique hostel experience.
Cleanliness
However, some reviews highlight issues with cleanliness, particularly in the bathrooms and showers, which were occasionally reported as dirty and needing more attention. The capsules, although mostly clean, were sometimes found to have food leftovers or dirty footprints. The cleaning schedule, requiring guests to vacate the premises between 12 and 3 pm, left some guests feeling inconvenienced.
Overall, despite the few negative remarks, HosteLit is noted for its cleanliness, modern touches and friendly, attentive staff, making it a commendable choice for budget travelers seeking a clean and comfortable stay.
Staff
The hostel's staff also demonstrate a high level of professionalism, ensuring smooth check-ins and clear communication, even through WhatsApp. Although there are occasional mentions of miscommunications and gaps in availability at the reception, these instances seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
