Rooms
Day Off Suite&Hostel offers rooms that, although on the smaller side, are generally noted for their comfort and functionality. Some rooms boast appealing features such as three balconies and large bathrooms, which add a touch of luxury and practicality to the stay. Despite the limited space, guests frequently highlight the rooms' cleanliness and the pleasant temperature maintained within. However, the dormitory-style rooms with bunk beds, come across as cramped for the number of occupants and may pull down the comfort factor. While the beds in some rooms could be more comfortable, overall, the rooms manage to provide a cozy and satisfactory experience.
Beds
Day Off Suite&Hostel presents a mixed bag of experiences when it comes to the comfort of their beds. Many guests report that the beds are very comfortable with specific mentions of soft bedding and super comfortable mattresses. Compliments extend to the quality of the blankets and the cleanliness of the rooms, adding a plus to the overall staying experience.
However, some travelers found the beds less than ideal. Complaints about hard or uncomfortable mattresses are frequent. Issues with noisy beds and mattresses that aren't horizontal diminish the comfort for some guests. It's noted that the dormitory-style rooms feature 3-level bunk beds, which can make mobility challenging, especially on the bottom bunk. Additionally, the space in the rooms appears to be limited, which could pose a problem for those traveling with more than two people.
Overall, while some guests enjoyed a good night's rest on comfortable and clean beds, others suggest that improvements could be made to ensure a consistently restful experience.

Some guests have pointed out that the kitchen, refrigerator and dishes could be cleaner and there have been mentions of dirty carpets, kitchen and common areas. A few reviews noted issues with worn fittings, poor ventilation and noisy conditions, which could detract from the overall experience.
Despite these areas for enhancement, the attentive and friendly staff receive high marks for their service, which complements the hostel's clean and comfortable atmosphere.
