Rough Guide "Since opening in 2008, this modern hostel has won awards for its service and excellent facilities."
Frommer's "If a gated courtyard right in the center appears rather a grand address for a hostel, that is because this is no ordinary student traveler dive." Full review
Let's Go "Don’t wait another minute to make a reservation at this hostel—with only 30 beds and the best value in the neighborhood, it’s no surprise that Academy doesn’t have many last-minute vacancies." Full review
