Fairly close to public transport, staff friendly, breakfast adequate if you get there early enough.
Breakfast, especially yogurt, is finished very quickly if you aren’t one of the first to get there

Nice location, clean hostel, friendly atmosphere.

Disappointing
Close to city center and public transportation. Free breakfast
Beds are old and very uncomfortable. There is only one plug socket in the room and impossible to use if you're on the top bunk bed. The bathroom are a mix of old and unclean without a lot of privacy. Breakfast is only between 8 and 9:30 Would not go back and not recommend

Pleasant
The property is close to everything in downtown. You can reach almost all the attractions walking The staff was very attentive.
- the included breakfast is served only from 8 am to 9.30 am, I had to go outside at 7 am and they did not solve, so I had to buy another breakfast on the way - the facilities, although functional are old , the closet where you store your baggage and the beds sound a lot when you are moving because of the wood is outdated - there are a lots of beds but you have only one bathroom with three toilets and two showers per floor ,(the bathrooms are not shared for men and women). - the showers do not have a seat or place where you can place your stuff - the rooms had only one electric outlet in the center , no outlets near your bed , - the beds have a light that does not work - one ventilator per room, not sufficient for hot nights

Great atmosphere and free breakfast included makes the stay all the more worth while!
My bed was a little hard/tough but it was not the end of the world, the bed frame was also damaged prior to my stay but it was still stable.

Very Poor
absolutely nothing. it was disgusting.
very unhygienic, the door leading to the kitchen was broken, the rooms stunk like urine, the staff was extremely rude.. upon checking in and seeing my living conditions i immediately asked to cancel and refund but i was denied. I walked out the door and did not stay here. I DO NOT RECOMMEND
