The common spaces are nice and clean. The rooms are clean and comfortable as well.
There is a fairly big kitchen and areas to eat.
There are several products (kitchen/bathroom etc) available to use.
The entrance and reception is on the forth floor, so it might be difficult to climb up with a lot of luggage.

Very clean kitchen and showers
The bed was the worst part. I've been to many hostels and this wasn't a proper bed. I booked a hotel after two sleepless nights.

The personnel were really friendly. The location is excellent. The hostel’s warnings that you have to walk to 4th floor are repeated a few times, which is a real plus for those who don’t want to walk to higher floors. The cleanliness is maintained in an exemplary manner. A delicious breakfast is really around the corner.
It would be great if there will be some shelves near the electric sockets available from the upper bed. When sending the internet password it would be helpful if also the door code would be added. I don’t like loud roommates in the room, but that’s probably not a hostel thing

veeeery friendly staff. the rooms were wide enough, i could open my suitcase without interrupting anyone else’s space. the toilets were always clean, so as showers (i just had hard time to understand how it worked lol but they’re good, you can use hot water). kitchen was so practical, there was a fridge, a microwave, clutlery, plates, mugs, coffee, tea, hot water etc. (basically everything you need in a kitchen). it’s on the top floor of a 4 floor building so you have to carry your belongings upstairs by yourself, but the stairs doesn’t feel that much. you can store your belongings in the hostel lobby before/after your stay. location was super good, everything you will need is close by. i loved it, i would definitely choose haystack again

The highlight of my stay was the customer service and care of the staff. They were truly awesome! The location was great, right in the center of everything and easily accessible from the airport via tram or bus. The amenities were good and it was very calm.
Thank you for your information!
