The location was fantastic, about a max 5min walk from the train station! The beds had a good amount of privacy and the lockers were generous in size, large enough to store my 70L bag. The staff were very friendly and accommodating for early check-ins and bag storage after check out.

Clean, plugs at the bed and in the chill out area to charge all electronics, nice staff, showers with hooks on the doors, big kitchen with fridge, easy check-in and check-out
super loud noises throughout the nights (ventilation, bottle bank in use under window, no nights rest), no night duty for emergencies, mattress and cussion uncomfortable

The hostel was really well kept with friendly staff. The bathrooms were very clean. The hostel is situated less than 5 minutes from the station, which made it very easy to find the place around. I was in a girls dorm, and it was very peaceful and everyone respected each other's space.

I loved how quiet the hostel was, it had a very calm and friendly vibe. Perfect to unwind after a long day in town. Well equipped guest kitchen and surprisingly clean showers and toilets.
Horrible lockers - none of the lockers worked in my room. It was impossible to make them properly lock, they are very outdated. So I had to keep my valuables with me at all times (but the hostel is very safe so it did not feel uncomfortable).

The location is great.
The staff is very unfriendly and grumpy. It's amazing that with this kind of attitude, she prefers to manage a hostel. I didn't even get the code for the door and even tho I rang the bell a couple of times, they were just in front of the door and didn't allow me to come in or at least check the door. They don't provide the information in the hostel profile that some bunks have 3 levels and the hostel is on the top floor with lots of stairs and no elevators too.
