    The disgusting smell from the wall and toilet. I got bitten by some insects on my face and body when I was in the room. I don’t think they are mosquitoes as it was swollen and very itchy.

    The room is small as expected for the price .

    The kitchen was closed and there was no information about that on the page. Also the security needed to be given in cash not as a credit card reservation, again contradicting the description. Despite this inconveniences, even leaving a single small (<25L) backpack for 2-3 hours costed 5 EUR extra.

    The room and bathroom was very clean and newly renovated. The location is very close to the main shopping street.

    - staff was rude - door to the shower had a big gap so you could just look in - room was really tiny (especially for three people) - kitchen closed at 8pm and you were not allowed in anymore - no wifi in the rooms, only in the kitchen - you need to pay 10€ a night to get AC even though it was really hot at night - the staff really made you feel not welcomed - the walls were extremely thin you could hear EVERYTHING (there were renovation in the house at the moment which was really annoying) - it really is the cheapest hostel in the area but for what you get it is still very expensive

    - good location - kitchen - shower in room

    The room isn't getting cleaned, the toilet has no seat, there's no soap or towels, the rooms are little, you need to pay caution for the key upon arrival 30€ in cash, they also charge 5€ to leave the bags there for a day, 10€ for ventilation, the sleep is poor due to bunkbeds moving if anyone moves, people coming in and leaving, street noise etc.

    The bed was surprisingly quite comfy and the people were nice, the price of stay was the cheapest of that area but still too much for a place like that

    The room was dirty, looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. No AC so the window had to be left open. The sheets I was handed at check in were still wet when I unfolded.

    The guy who checked me in was really lovely. Helped me carry my bag up the stairs because there isn’t a lift.

    The wifi didn't seem to work at all. The booking site simply said there was air conditioning, however, it was an additional 10 euros per night to use it. There was no hand soap in the bathroom. The morning staff was unfriendly and unpleasant. It was "clean enough."

    Location was a convenient 6 minute walk to the metro station. The bed was comfortable. The afternoon staff was pleasant and helpful.

    No toilet in the private rooms. Shared toilet out in the hall. No sink in with the toilet so you have to go back to your room to wash your hands. Also have to pay €10 for air conditioning and a €30 deposit on the towels.

    The location. Absolute fantastic. 8 minutes fork the train stations 8 minutes from the main square beach. Also very cheap for location

    Wouldn’t recommend for female solo travellers as all guests were predominantly men not of student ages. Rooms are extremely small with no room for your things. Toilet and shower in room but no lock on the door. No plug sockets either.

    Great location and very affordable.

    Bed was missing several slats, room was hot, was tired after not sleeping - guy who checked me out sent me back up 4 flights of stairs to get the towels from my room (which would have been fine I'd it's been mentioned when I'd checked in, rather than after I'd carried my bag down the stairs) - he just wanted an argument, rather than acknowledging how bad it was to have to sleep on a broken bed. Building also felt like a building site with bits of wood, buckets of plaster/paint and ladders taking up space all over the place.

    Room was clean, guy who checked me in was nice, location is decently close to the main station

    every little noise echoed up the building, fight went on the first night we were there was very scary being females in a room with just one lock. staff said the front door would be closed at 10pm however was not felt unsafe. We came back to our room after being out for 7 hours to find it open (luckily nothing stolen) cleaning staff had “gone in” (nothing had been cleaned)

    it was close to the train station and the Main Street, the staff were lovely.

    bed bugs

    Location was very good. The staff very nice. And the room was not bad at all considering it was a hostel.. i would have given a good evaluation if it wasn't for the bedbugs.. unfortunally there was and I'm bitten all over... and it's so ichy it's driving me crazy... It the staff get rid of the bedbugs then it is a good value for money.
