    Three things: 1. Washroom and Toilet are very small and uncomfortable for us. You will not have enough space for you to stay inside. The cleaner is not cleaning it very good and you need to tell them additionally to clean it more. 2. The corridor was a little bit messy and need to be clean and presentable for marketing purposes 3. Not safe outside because of many junkies,better be safe all the time 4. A little bit loud at night and before evening ,because of too many drunk people outside (you can hear them sometimes arguing,fighting or even sometimes shouting, so if you are very sensitive to noise, better to have earplugs. ☝🏼🙂

    The property was very accessible for transportation and goods in case you need something like food and other stuffs. It is also easy to find this place. People in the receptionist was friendly and accessible. My room and my bed was good enough for me to take rest and nap whenever i want too. They have also Bars and live music every Friday night for you to chill and enjoy. Aside from that they have also a waiting area that you can just wait sit and even to play of their hanging guitar. Unfortunately,my time guitar strings were broken. But its good!

    People were partying just outside the hostel until at least 4 am, talking loudly. It also sounded like a very drunk man was crying out loudly under my window in the morning. This made it difficult to sleep.

    I liked having an ensuite bathroom and shower. The room itself was quiet and the other guests were respectful. The facilities overall were high-quality. The hostel was easy to get to and right next to the train station and the city centre, which was very handy.

    Showers in the shared room was awful. Only used the shared one in the hallway. Also, €5,- for a single towel which you can only replace every ~3 days is a bit of a letdown.

    Shared shower in the hallway was fantastic. Beds were alright and breakfast was pretty good for €9,- and the rentable lockers are absolutely fantastic (€6,- for a large locker 24hrs)

    Our room was first floor above bar/club. It was a Friday night - loud music started at 9pm and finished at 2am. I guess we should have expected this. Ear plugs essential. Also a noisy school group of young teenagers screaming around the corridors. Not sure what the teachers were doing. I said I would stay again - i wouldn’t at a weekend but I’d give a weekday a go. USB ports on beds didn’t work

    Right next to station so convenient. Not the nicest area tho, but easy to get out and straight on to a bus, metro or train. Walking distance to all central areas. The room (8 person private) was clean overall, just the toilet wasn’t great. Seperate shower room and toilet room plus sink area were all big enough. Storage under beds for bags - lockable. Electronic blinds were fab. Bed lights and plugs on beds. No outside noise from this room (overlooking back). Breakfast was good for the price - fresh bread, rye bread, spreads, fruit salad, fruit, yoghurt, muesli, cereal, juice and hot drinks all included.

    Small shower and toilets (there are probably bigger ones outside the rooms though). Room was uncomfortably hot at night, opening the windows/ turning on the fan provided was not ideal due to the noise. Lockers below bed can be noisy. Small shelf/ hooks for top bunk would be nice. Wifi kept disconnecting at times.

    Room was spacious, very close to train station. Ensuite shower and toilet. Hair dryer and table in room.

    Fabulous location near both train and bus terminals, but very quiet inside and a good night's sleep was had. I stayed 2 nights in a private twin room with private bathroom and it was perfectly adequate for our purposes. Very nice reception, a coffee shop and bar onsite. U-bahn (underground station) right outside.

    Had a single room for getting some sleep, the hallway was incredible noisy till like 3am. Room was not soundproof at all - very uncomfortable, though after all it’s a hostel, so fine in the end.

    Good value for money and a perfect location right next to the main station. Single room was spacious, very friendly staff and 24/7 reception is a huge plus. They even take care of the guests in front of the hostel, since it’s not the safest area.
