Good value place to stay but not in hot weather

Friendly staff, clean, good showers, quite happy but let down by unbearably hot dormitory - yes the weather was hot but the fact the windows in the room didn’t open more than 10cm did not help. Also the hostel had a strangely impersonal vibe

Cheap and basic

The accommodation is cheap and basic but is conveniently situated with a 5min walk of the railway station. The rooms were clean and spacious and the beds were comfortable but the bar area was tatty and dull with ripped sofas and I feel there should have been more toilets. Only 2 on each floor so often occupied.

Close to everything. Easy to get to the city center and the Hbf. Easy to check in and get to the room. Turned out it I had bedbugs in the room, so I’m covered in bites. But we solved it on the hostel. You hear everything, so the dudes that showered on Saturday to Sunday at like 1 and singing I could hear it all.

location was great and in a very close distance to the train station. and the central attractions. Cleanliness, was good for the amount paid. bed linings were clear and ready to be fitted to the bed by ownself. Staff were helpful but very busy all the time dealing with customers. Facilities needed for a backpacker were sufficient: WiFi, Socket, Space to sit and eat and work and enjoy the time. Bar and reception area was however, noisy and tiny and crowded most of the times. Happy to come again if needed for a low budget visit to the city.

I know hostels can be noisy, but screaming and shouting at 2am, 4am and 6am was too much even for me. Even the earplugs I had didn’t block it out. Staff were great though, would just be nice to see some ‘Be respectful of other guests’ signage around to remind the serial shouters.

Had a single room next to showers. The isolation was so bad that each time someone took a shower, it felt like it was happening in the room. There was no ventilation either and the outside was too noisy with the window open. Did not get much sleep. The toilets were not clean.
