Przyjazny hostel, czysty i oryginalnie urządzony.

Lokalizacja hostelu wspaniale ułatwia zwiedzanie miasta, a jednocześnie jest usytuowany w spokojnym miejscu. Pokój rodzinny sprawdził się znakomicie.

нормальный хостел

Нормальный хостел, с большим общим пространством. Номер для двоих сделан в бывшей подъездной лестнице дома-хрущевки. Необычно, идея хорошая, но реализация не лучшая.

Great Place To Stay

Easy to find with Google maps. We were greeted warmly and shown around this very uniquely decorated hostel. Our ensuite accommodation was clean and roomy with comfy beds and a table and chairs. We walked everywhere but the metrol is only a block and a half away.

軽い朝食付きのはずが...

軽い朝食ビュッフェ付きのプランで三泊しました。 最終日だけ食べ物が何も用意されていなかったのはなぜ？木曜日は休みとか？ そんなこと知らないし。コーヒーしか飲めなかった。 また部屋に二人用ソファが２つあり、うち1つの脚の1個が外れかかっており 危うく引っくり返るところだった。 安価なので仕方ないとは思っていますが、日本じゃありえない。

A nice place

Ett enkelt men väldigt trevligt vandrarhem, nära resturanger,mini markets, huvudvägar och bussar/spårvagnar. Du kan lätt gå härifrån till gamla stan, citykärnan och Arcadia om du vill det. Väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Bra fart på wifit i rummet. Enda minuset var dom dåliga kuddarna (vi bad dock inte om nya) och att det var lyhört från korridoren.Frukost ingick och bestod av rostad bröd/kaffe/te/mjölk m flingor. Vi kommer tillbaka.

공항에서 숙소 가려면 버스를 두 번 갈아타야함. 홈페이지에서 알려준 대로 가면 버스 갈아타기 힘드니 꼭 구글로 먼저 가는 길을 숙지하고 가야 함. 큰길에서 3~4분 정도 떨어져있음. 인적이 드무니 일찍일찍 이동 추천. 여자 도미토리 남자 도미토리 방 구분되어있고 라운지는 큼. 라운지에 있는 컴퓨터는 Usb 사용 불가. 남녀 구분된 샤워실과 화장실은 2층에 있고 숙소는 3층부터. 성수기에 가지 않아 그런지 사람이 많지 않아 매우 조용했음. 엘리베이터 없으니 무거운 짐 조심. 주인아저씨는 무뚝뚝해보이지만 말 걸면 매우 친절하심. 다리미와 다리미대는 이야기하면 빌려줌. 전체적으로 깔끔하니 괜찮음. 가격대비 좋은 호스텔인건 확실. 추천.

CARMINE

Liked: Cleanliness

in complesso un buon ostello.

L' ostello si trova in una zona vicina alla fermata del bus. Dopo poche fermate si arriva al centro storico. Il primo impatto appena ci si arriva non è entusiasmante invece, poi, entrando e alloggiandovi si scopre un ambiente confortevole e arredato con buon gusto. Da evitare la stanza matrimoniale che da sulla strada poiché se fa caldo con la finestra aperta non si riesce a dormire per i rumori delle auto sulla strada. La stanza che invece affaccia sull atrio interno e' perfetta.Pulizia ottima. Colazione spartana ma sufficiente. Personale alla reception poco gentile e indisponibile a fornire informazioni varie sulla città e mezzi.
