The facilities were clean, the room was comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, everything was at a comfortable temperature, and the floor was quiet. Everything I could’ve hoped for from a hostel stay.
Nothing - everything was great.

Super clean space, very comfortable location and friemdly staff. I stayed in all-women room and it was very quiet option. Location is right at the city center close to the bus stops, train station, supermarkets. Facilities are very clean and tidy. Even though I usually do not stay in hostels, this one was great.
I liked everything :)

Very Good
My stay at the hostel was enjoyable and the communication with the staff straight-forward and helpful. The facilities were cleaned frequently during the day. There were only two toilets (the third seemed to be always locked) on the floor, but somehow there were no queues! The shower-room was clean and spacious with stools and hangers for clothes. There were free toiletries to use for a shower (but I found only shampoo and conditioners, no shower gel). The bed shook a lot when I or the woman sleeping on the bed below me moved around, but was comfortable. The kitchen space is very pretty and bright with a large wooden table and several plants on the window sills.
The Scotland-France rugby game was on during my stay, so the cost per night was much higher than I would have expected for a hostel.
