Selina turned a solo work trip into something social, with rooftop events, a great cafe and other remote workers happy to swap tips. The room was comfortable and the location made exploring easy. Genuinely one of the most enjoyable extended stays I've had.
Sociable atmosphere and comfy rooms
Selina nailed the social, work-friendly atmosphere with good coworking space and events that made it easy to meet people. But the room itself felt a bit tired and the wifi dropped during a call, which matters when they market to remote workers. Fun place, just inconsistent on the practical side.
Lively community and coworking areas
Tired rooms and patchy wifi
I chose Selina specifically because they pitch to remote workers, but the wifi was too unstable for video calls and I ended up working from a cafe. The vibe and common areas are lovely, yet the one thing I actually needed didn't deliver. Frustrating for a work-focused stay.
Unreliable wifi for remote work
My Selina stay struck the ideal balance, a quiet private room, a buzzing coworking floor and yoga classes that made it feel like a community rather than a hostel. The staff helped me plan local trips and the wifi held up fine for my calls. Exactly what a nomad needs.
Strong community and reliable coworking
I liked that Selina blends hostel energy with proper desks and decent coffee, and the location was central. The downside was inconsistent service, check-in was slow and a booked workspace was double-allocated. A solid concept that depends a lot on which branch you stay at.
