    Exactly what I needed but be aware it's a noisy area.

    The area around the hostel was busy and loud, I felt a little unsafe as a solo woman walking from the midi train station and thus the next evening I made sure to be back before it started to get dark. There was a small issue in the bathroom that after a shower the floor of the bathroom would flood very easily but it was manageable by taking shorter showers.

    The location was not far from where I needed to be, just a short walk to most things. I was grateful for the ability to pay for a towel and a lock for the lockers as these where things I hadn't brought. It was very clean and there were plugs next to each bed, even top bunks.

    Not the safest area and they didn't recommend the area for solo female travelers but I didn't really feel unsafe. Would like to have bedside lamp etc because now it really woke me up when people arrived, put all the lights on and also the lockers were quite noisy.

    Ok location (didn't need to use public transport, just walked everywhere) and good bed, very ok accommodation for this price. Ok clean. One shower/wc in 4 people room (quite ok if everyone not waking up same time, now I had to hurry just little when heading to airport).

    The beds are too narrow. The mattress can be thicker so I don't need to have my leg pressing on the iron frame when I climb the bed which is uncomfortable.

    The bathroom is nice.

    There were some episodes of vandalism (broken windows) that occurred overnight. It’s not the hostel’s fault, of course, but it was unpleasant.

    I am a mature woman and I needed a bed at the last minute on a bank holiday The manager was incredibly helpful and very sympathetic. His kindness was very welcoming.

    More attention should be given to cleanliness in the general areas The rooms are a bit small for 4 people May not be suitable when travelling on Business, as facilites are quite basic

    Very good location near the tram and train station Staff is very friendly 24 hour check-in is helpful when you arrive late. Readiliy available kitchen facilites in dining area.

    The location. Besides being in the center its not the most pleasant place. To reach the hostel the closest tram station is lemonier not one of the safest ones. All seamed very sketchy.

    The room was comfortable. Good bed and a big locker to secure bags. Staff is kind. And overall the hostel is clean.

    the window was broken and water was leaking all over the windowsill. Check out time is from 10-10:30. But in 9:50 a woman burst into our room and started screaming “Check out!!”

    It was clean enough, and the hotel is not so far from city centre.

    It was quite noisy outside during the night and was hard to sleep without a disturbance. Lockers and towels are not free, cost 2€ each.

    The room was clean and stuff was helpful. Bathroom was also clean and had a pleasant design. Bed was quite comfortable. It's very close to the centre.

    A very pleasant hostel for solo travelers!

    I would appreciate some free water. I had to buy one for a euro. You have to bring your own lock, if you want to keep your belongings safe. I am not sure, if they offer free luggage room. The first thing i saw when i entered the room was a huge spider on the floor, but i killed it in a second and forgot about it.

    The hostel is a 15 minute walk from the city centre. I stayed in a 4-bed mixed dormitory, it was pretty small, but for the price it was alright. The bunk bed was comfortable, the sheets were clean and the duvet was pleasantly warm. The bathroom was clean, better than you would expect. I really loved the small balcony, it was refreshing to feel some fresh air in the morning.

    If I'm being picky; it's that you have to pay to rent a towel.

    I would say the hotel is in a good location, walking distance to the main/population attractions, restaurants/food shops, convenience store aswell as their train station.
