    The hostel should set age limit for God’s sake because I was put in a room with an old selfish Chinese guy who turned off AC and turned off all lights very early. The room was full of his disgusting stinky smell. The worst part was he didn’t speak English at all, which was a freaking nightmare when he put a stupid translator in front of my mouth for every sentence i said (very disrespectful)

    Staff was friendly (although they tried to convince me there was no available bed to change when there was an old wired guy in the room, but eventually I got changed to another room for one night).

    I felt it was too loud within the hostel. There were lots of large groups of people, namely small children persistently running up and down the stairs all throughout the day and even until around 00:40 at one point at night. There are lots of large groups of teenagers hanging around outside the hostel too. During the day this isn’t so much of a problem, but it’s frustrating on a night after a long day walking around and the staff appearing to do very little to stop the noise and it’s a little inconsiderate for the other guests. The bathrooms were nice and clean, as was the shower. But something a little unusual is the lack of locks in bathrooms, both the female and male and unisex ones. There are locks on the toilets but these are separate from the bathrooms. I never had a problem with showering and there being no locks on the doors, but this is something for others to consider when thinking of whether or not to stay here. The kitchen wasn’t the cleanest, and there was no kettle (at least from what I could see anyway) which was a little strange as there were coffees and teas there.

    The location for this hostel is great, as it’s a short walk from the city centre and has a lot of great coffee places nearby (namely the one directly opposite the accommodation). It’s also fairly quiet on a night. Towels are provided, as is a giant locker which is useful for bags of all sizes e.g. large backpacks, small rucksacks etc. They also give you your own key for your locker so you don’t have to worry about bringing your own. The staff at check-in are friendly and helpful (towels do not come provided, but if you ask at reception they will give you one free of a deposit).

    the room smelt like cigarettes and there were no towels. I thought I’d read that there were and in that case I would have brought one.

    the location is very good. it was easy to find and there wasn’t much noise in the area even on a Friday night.

    The kitchen was dark and uninviting, also there was no kettle to boil water with. Do not a nice place for eating. Also the common area was in the basement. And there wasn't much of an atmosphere

    Everything except for the kitchen and common area

    Ace location, big windows, loved the bathrooms and sofas in the hallways.

    It is written that free parking is possible with reservation, but it's a lie. When I asked to reserve, they told me that, since they don't have many lots, private rooms had priority and it was not possible to park if I was in a dormitory. I had to use a garage they recommended, spent more than 20€, and their private parking was definitely not full

    Comfy bed, clean, nice staff, huge lockers

    Most crowd was quite young, so the place is more of an youth hostel. Shower facilities quite compact and little old.

    Close to old town, located next to some cafes and larger supermarket. Room had large windows and small balcony, reasonably comfortable beds. Staff was very helpful. Good value for its money.

    The bathroom situation was a bit odd, it was clean but there was a unisex bathroom with male toilets and showers, but the female bathroom didnt have any toilets, so the unisex had to be used. Also, there was no option for female-only dorms.

    The staff was extremely friendly, the friendliest and most helpful staff in a hostel i've come across thus far :) the facilities were clean, there was a nice balcony for each room, the hostel location was in the center of the city but quite secluded, hidden behind some buildings through an alley!

    It’s a very basic hostel, to my taste. The main thing is that it wasn’t pleasant to stay in the room or in the kitchen: the furniture is dated, the bunk bed too low to sit comfortably, the overall look and feel not cozy (you can get a much better effect, painting the walls light and with the basic Ikea furniture). Also, it was very cold in our room (April is cold this year). The kitchen is very small, and it’s hard to be there, if somebody else already occupied the table. I think you must pay for the towels, at least there were none in the room, and i was too lazy to check.

    Location is great, right in the center on the pedestrian street. You can reserve a parking spot in the yard, which is super convenient. Everything is clean. The mattress was comfortable.

    There’s a small porch in front of the main door that is always full os people smokers and the small goes up to the rooms

    The location is extremely convenient, around 25 min from bus station and right next to the main attractions. The rooms are great.

    Can be noisy and the rooms are very basic, but you don't choose a hostel for luxury!!

    Location was good, just 15 minutes walk from the station or a tram from just outside the station to within a couple of minutes away. The staff on reception were great, very helpful. Being a hostel it can get noisy and there's not much soundproofing. Bed was comfortable enough, bathroom facilities were good.

    There was a lack of a social scene, the hostel didn’t feel like other hostels I’ve been to where you could make new friends and have whacky fun adventures, if you’re looking for that I would suggest finding a more suitable hostel

    For a one night stay it was alright

    the only complaint I have is that it is written that it has free parking, but in fact there is none. there is one close by and you have to pay €17 for the day.
