    The cleanliness, especially in the bathroom, was severely lacking. My room was packed with luggage of other mates and hence it was really difficult to navigate.

    For the cost at which it comes, it is fine to spend a night here. I had to book this in an emergency and it served the purpose well for a night.

    The overall cleanliness was just lacking, I didn’t dare take a shower in that building. There’s many items you need to pay extra for that aren’t even mentioned in the booking. In the rooms you basically leave your belongings to the mercy of strangers. Everything is just laying on the floor, there isn’t any furniture which is crazy considering how much unused space there is. You just find yourself not being able to place things anywhere, including the bathrooms. The place felt like an old hospital with that harsh lighting, not welcoming in any way. I felt for the people working there.

    The bunker beds were properly isolated so you get some privacy, and the staff was nice enough.

    When I first checked in the staff weren’t very welcoming. They talked to me minimally, did not give me any information on what I can and cannot use (kitchen, social areas etc). Literally just told me what room and bed I was in - they even asked if I had been there before and I said no. Shared rooms were a mess. People did not respect or enforce the 10pm quiet time rule. There were people screaming in my hallway at 11pm and it woke me up. Also, my roommates started blow drying their hair around the same time.. in the bedroom not even in the bathroom. Hen I woke up and went to leave there were cigarette butts in the hallway. As well, the evening before I tried to use the front room for reading. There were stains all over the couches and floor and the lighting was terrible so it was very hard to read in that room. It just felt uncomfortable and unwelcoming the entire time.

    Location was great.

    The standard of this hostel has fallen down. I have stayed here a few times before , but I can say the standard is no longer the same from check-in time to cleanliness. I waited for an hour to check in. Showers are so tiny, I saw one guy struggling to get in, and there was only one male shower working on that floor.. I hope the management will take action because the standard is now far below other hostels in the city centre. Waiting to check in for an hour is unacceptable

    Location, it's town close to tram Station

    My room was very spacious. I was fortunate to have a bed with a curtain for privacy rather than the wood enclosed one. The room I had had a separate space to put luggage and a closet as well as a large bathroom with a beautiful lookout! Only downside was that it was 15 minutes from the main town area but I don’t mind a walk. There’s no lift but again, didn’t bother me. The staff was very neutral. Not welcoming but not rude. The one thing that was odd to me was that they give you a wrist band that you must wear in order to prove you are staying there which I’ve NEVER seen before and didn’t enjoy very much because nothing screams tourist like a bracket with your hostel name on it… but a great place with lots of space and sitting areas and a garden and restaurant:)

    Ensuite room without hot water in the shower, toilet blocked, room smelly because of the bathroom so I had to use the regular showers/bathrooms. Another female was eating in the room - smell, others making loud phone calls at 11:30 PM. The worst was an extremely loud snoring female who prevented a few of us from sleeping - got about 2hrs. My stay was awful.

    City centre location& privacy & price

    I didn't like that we are asked to wear some badges although every guest already has a key to the rooms.

    I really liked that there was a leisure zone. A quiet place to read and a garden.

    Everything was good, it's an old building converted into a hostel. Neat and clean, the staff was amiable and helpful. Beds were specious and pod styles with total privacy. there is a full-fledged kitchen in the basement where you can cook food with ovens, microwaves, and other equipment and keep things in the fridge.

    There are not enough bathrooms close enough to the rooms and they don't have enough shelves, etc. It's a huge place with very long flights of stairs to climb and an ugly kitchen and toilet in the basement.

    The rates apparently change with respect to demand. I paid a low price--and for that, it was okay. But the same thing could have cost 75€ and that's highway robbery! The pod was okay but at first I was assigned a box! A mattress behind a wall of wood, with a crack (for fresh air)? You had to climb a ladder and crawl onto the mattress from the end. It was shocking and looked scary. When I complained, I was moved. Vitor on the night desk was very pleasant and helpful.
