    The fact that beds didn’t have numbers I was obliged to switch beds. Also the people sleeping in the room were so loud during the night it would be nice to put some rules regarding quietness during sleeping hours

    The rooms were very hot. Don't book it during summer seasons. though they can provide fans if available.

    The location was very nice, right next to the bustop which would connect you easily to main attractions

    The kitchen desperately needs labels for food items. Rooms were also very hot. A secondary entrance directly to the lower floor would also be nice, though I see there might be security issues with that.

    The lounge is epic and there's cheap beer. Loved the normal thickness mattress because you don't always get those in hostels. There's a bus stop right by the entrance, so getting into the heart of town was really easy. The staff was also helpful.

    Showers were pretty much always cold and room was quite warm (but middle of August so). Not every bed has a plug socket for it either, but standard hostel stuff

    Awesome vibes, friendly other guests, cheap and nice facilities provided such as pub crawl and free BBQ which just helped to create great social events. Great locations easily walkable from and at the perfect distance away from centre. This hostel has a really scrappy and almost camping like vibe to it which was really cool and different

    The curtains in the room didn’t actually cover the window. If you were unlucky to have a bed by the window (which I was 😭) you get woken up so early everyday. I don’t think housekeeping actually happened in the room because the floor was never clean..

    The atmosphere of the place was amazing, there was always some sort of social on which is a great way to meet people. The bathrooms were always clean!

    Nothing really, I didn't really meet many people there despite there being ample opportunity to do so, I don't know maybe it was just me. But this had nothing to do with the place.

    Super easy check in, and 24 hour reception was a big help especially coming in early, having money exchange on site was also super convenient! Nice helpful staff. Social events to bring people together

    The card machine was down at the time so had to pay a fair bit in cash, but the staff never pressured us into paying asap. (We did it the day we left )

    Staff and facilities were amazing, went as a group of 10, 8 in a shared room and 2 in a private both were clean and perfect. There's an amazing pizza shop next door. It'll take you about 25 min to talking into the center of old town, but it's a nice walk.

    They need to provide towel and even shampoo for the travelers, in addition to this, staff needs to check the toilets more often. Lastly, when you check-out, staff needs to change the blankets and bedspread.

    The location is very good, 15 minutes walk to the train station/bus station(parking) othe buses is just 1 minutes away. Kitchen is useful, staff was helpful, check-in and check-out is very easy, can be done anytime 7/24 hours.

    The breakfast schedule was not respected and if you went "too late" (although within hours), the staff would not allow you to eat whatever she had already cleand (I was only allowed to eat cereals, beans and eggs and they removed the beans and eggs right after I served myself, one hour before the end of scheduled breakfast time). The bathrooms had not the best light and when crowded the hostel became quite noisy. Some activities were scheduled by outdoors (bbq), which is not ideal in December.

    The bed was comfortable, the facilities were cool and clean, kitchen well equipped and a small convenience store just in front of the hostel. The city center is walkable distance
