    My room faced the train station and the bar downstairs. Window blocked good amount of noise and earplugs blocked the rest. One thing to consider is that there is no AC or fan in the room. It did get fairly hot (28C) outside. I had to make a choice to open a window at night to cool the room or close it for noise control. Wifi was very slow.

    Location was great, very close to the cathedral and the train station. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good (no hot dishes, mostly cereal, yogurt and sandwiches). Good size room for the price.

    The door was creaking and it was quite loud when someone enters the room. I arrived pretty late to the room and had to try very hard to put on the sheets without waking someone up.

    New sheets were given on the bed and the bed was comfortable. There were enough shelving and charging points to put your things beside you and also lockers to put your baggage with your own lock. Instructions were given for check in after midnight and that was really nice since my train was delayed.

    For me personally i had a room right next to the showers and the walls were very thin so i could hear everything very loudly. Also The place was usually not very clean but this is due to the guests staying as the cleaning crew does a goodjob when they're cleaning

    It has everything you need from facilities to items you can purchase for cheap and the location is amazing!

    It was a bit noisy.

    Very good location, just 300m from city center. Overall it was clean, the door to the floor and room closed and can be opened with the card key. If u want a locker or a towel u have to ask extra for it at the reception and leave a deposit. There's an elevator in the building.

    Everything was nice! Just a lot of noise in the room during the night, the guy next to me was snoring and the people weren't moving their stuff quietly in the middle of the night. We needed to open the windows in order to refresh the atmosphere at some point, but then there was some noise from outside. The stuff was very nice. The bathroom was not clean, but the room, the bed and the locker area was decent. Overall the experience was not bad, but if the people who stayed in the room with me were more responsive i would have slept more than 3,5 hours. I guess this is not totally the hostel's responsibility, but maybe decreasing the number of beds in every room can also lower this risk. 27 euros x 6 beds = 162 euro. I guess the beds can also be 4 in every room and still the company can make profit with better conditions.

    the bed I stayed in was very noisy when you move and it was right under the window on the curtain which was uncomfortable so if they give you bed 4 in room 306 ask to change it

    You have to install and dismantle the bed sheets by yourself.

    It’s near the train station, and the bed is great to sleep.

    The lack of a kitchen is a deal breaker, we would not stay there again just for that reason, we didn’t realize it didn’t have one when booking because every hostel we have stayed in has had one (and we have spent hundreds of days in Europe at many hostels). Oops we’ll look closer next time. The doors also slammed really loud so if you go to bed before 11pm you’ll probably be woken up by disrespectful guests (not the hostels fault).

    Great location, great luggage storage, quite a few bathrooms. If we weren’t with kids I’m sure the bar and restaurant would be good too.

    Extremely loud - you can hear every train and communication from the station's speakers that the train is arriving. Loud parties in the yard in the middle of the week up to 1 a.m. or even later. Extremely hot with no airflow even with open window. No desk to work at private room. Expensive for a hostel

    Good localization, nice personel, it was clean, breakfast available
