    The communal kitchen was very very basic having just a microwave and fridge. I kept having to ask the bar for boiling water to make my own tea and coffee and I couldn’t cook beyond the microwave. Not a huge deal as I ate out most days, but I’ve stayed in hostels where they’ve had full working kitchens where I could cook.

    The friendly vibe in the reception area. It was really chilled and cosy during breakfast and during the day. The check in was easy and uncomplicated and the location fantastic. There were lockers, charged by the hour so I could leave my stuff there after I checked out.

    Perfect location. Rooms are comfortable (room with private bathroom) however bathroom is very small - finally I used shared showers, which are very comfortable with place to put your belongings and clothes. Self check-in is a bit problematic and I noticed everybody had some issues. I paid for my stay but it asked me to pay again - the lady at the "reception" resolved all the issues and everything was fine. I love key-app. Easy way to open all the doors :). The only problem is when you have room in front of the pub which is on the next side of the street. During the weekend is very laud almost all night. On Friday I wasnt able to sleep until 4:00 am. Next evening I just purchased noise stoppers and it was quite fine to sleep however all the rooms with pub view should be much cheaper. I stayed 2 nights so simply just ignored that fact but when staying a bit longer - it could be really hard to get rest when audult people outside are screaming - yes, mostly screaming not just laudly talking. However - overall experience is great and I recommend this place :).

    The room is small and basic, but it's ok because the price is cheap. But it is full of dust. I'm not sure when the room was last cleaned. There are only 2 toilets for a whole floor. That is definitely not enough. We were there for 4 days and one of the toilets was clogged all the time. And on our last day both toilets were clogged. The toilets, showers and sinks are pretty dirty and it smells bad. No idea how often they are cleaned. Oh, and there´s no free Wlan on the upper floor.

    The location is perfect.

    The ventilation of our bed-cabin was broken and it was difficult sleeping inside because of the heat and the heavy air. They couldn't fix it or change our cabin during our stay. I also felt the lack of an explanation of the services or simply just of where to find what you needed in the building.

    Great location, great price and overall good experience. I definetely recommend it. It was nice the atmosphere in the bar, great to meet new people and also for the different themes every evening.

    It was loud at night with the noise at the bar, but we did still manage to sleep, we were also getting in late in fairness so didn’t mind the fact that the bar was open until late. It would be nice if you had more interaction with staff but the self check in on the tablets is simple.

    The location is amazing. We were so close to the centre and the main train station which was really helpful when we arrived from the airport. The private double rooms are a good size and suitable for a weekend stay. The bed was comfortable.

    For one of the cheapest options in town you can maybe not expect much. But the staff appear to have some other place they would rather be. The friendly atmosphere that I experienced earlier has not been there for the past year. I had skipped the breakfast the last couple of times I visited.

    Great location. The private rooms are ok. Nice view and clean. The rooms are in reasonable condition. The rooms are surprisingly soundproof. You will sleep well here. Sometimes there is live music and a good mood in the bar.

    The cabin is really small, only bed size and no storage locker for bags. I booked this for 3 nights the mattress was comfy but old, the cabin was too small for us so I asked to upgrade to a twin room. The twin room is a good size included towels and private bathroom. Bunk beds are comfortable but very high so not suited to tall people or a dislike of heights.

    The location. Really central close to the train and metro and main shopping area. Bar area was good, lively in the evenings with a good atmosphere.

    Check in was sooo difficult and unnecessary.. staff in bar unhelpful, would rather be gossiping (sorry!) Thankfully other guests helped us check in. Bunk beds SUPER high with high stairs. Thought it was a little bit difficult being top bunk

    Private room was cheap and in a great location
