    The room was okay. It looked clean but it has a smell. The surrounding outside the room didn't look so presentable. It looked a bit skechy because we only saw middle aged men going in and out.

    We only stayed for about 3.5 hours to get some rest so it was fair price.

    The pans are very damaged, so some kitchen equipment is missing: knife, shovel, oven mitts, etc. If you can complete them, that will be perfect!

    This room is quite large and quiet. And there are several windows, it's bright. It's very clean! it's very practical with an equipped kitchen.

    The place definitely needs some renovation, the kitchen looks really old and shabby and gloomy and sad.

    The lady at the reception was very nice - she met me after midnight, showed and explained everything, and even shared her own tea with me. The shower was clean and worked well, I took a nice shower. The location was convenient enough for me - it's a 20 minute walk from the railway station.

    Value for money and central location, but many things can be improved upon.

    The staff speaks almost zero English, and the one person who did was quite unpleasant to talk to. Come on guys, it's a European capital in 2023. The decor in the room is quite outdated and there are random holes in the wall. The clientele is quite weird, many old drunk men around the hostel, which doesn't create the safest atmosphere.

    The toilet was nice, modern and spacious. The bed was great and the location quite central, in a calm neighborhood close to the center. The reviews are definitely much worse than our experience, we found it to be charming in its own way.

    1. No bidet. 2. No aircon or fan for warm season. 3. the drainage is clogged in the shower. 4. the induction got short circuit. but good thing there is the shared kitchen. 5. no spoon/fork, mug provided. but it's not a big deal. 6. Staff are not always at the front desk. Please fix & develop the hostel. It has a lot of potential to attract more tourists since it is near the city center.

    we like the location, it is near the places we want to go. we cannot hear the noise from the outside 👍

    Absence of quiet time curfue.

    I like the hotel. Fairly priced and clean. Nice staff. Good location. I give not so good points because in sunday morning people sitting underneath our window at 05.00 in morning, drunk and speaking so lowdly. It was hot but we had to close the window in order to get some sleep. The sitting area should have a quiet time curfue.

    The pictures look nice, but in reality the hostel is run down, dusty and needs more renovation. The shared kitchen smelled of cheap wine, the shower had a mechanical push valve, that you have to push like 30 times to wash yourself properly, the shower head holder was broken, the TV remote didn't work, in general the furniture is worn out.

    Could not use the shower alone, since you needed another person press the button to keep the water going. The handle on the bathroom door was about to fall off, so you couldn't close the door since you might have got stuck inside. Electric socket under the basin in the bathroom! Filthy bedding under the linen. There was a kitchen in the room but no forks and only one butterknife. The plates and pans were so dirty you didn't want to touch them. The hallway looked like a construction site. The TV in the room didn't work. One of the bedside lamps didn't work.

    Spaceous room, fridge, didn't smell of cigarette smoke or mold. Quiet neighbourhood. Clean sheets and floor. Quiet neighbours that slept during night (would have heard them fairly well).

    Shower was faulty - it was leaking. Also, bathroom door won't close. I'm not talking about locking it, no - it won't even close. Also, I asked for two single beds (wrote a message), but we received one double bed.

    In general, place looks worn out. Single beds rather narrow and very soft. Ladies in reception barely speak English (Russian is fine).

    Very well located - 10 min walk from cathedral and Old Town. Very good WiFi. Quiet, side street with blind end. Fridge in the room, outside kitchen available. Very simple furniture, but place is also unexpensive. Parking on the street in front of hotel windows.

    I expected that even if our room was not supposed to be cleaned just after a day, the management would have arranged for a quick cleaning (trash and floor mopping). As a family with 3 kids, the floor was already too dirty after a night and by the 2nd night it was really There were no garbage bags to replace after emptying the 1st trash. The was no dishwasher soap so we had to buy one.

    It was exactly the same as I saw online before booking. I was happy that the management was sincere with the online descriptions.
