    Loud at night. People kept disturbing others‘ sleep every five minutes. Left the doors open and started discussing loudly. I went to shut the door, soon it was open again with loud talking. Sometimes they even put the lights on to the sleeping room and started to talk about the beds and people sleeping in them. Linen were itchy, probably some horrible detergent or maybe even lice. I have red spots all over after a night in there. Not enough sockets near the beds.

    Nice atmosphere, good art, has a kitchen. Very nice staff. Great location. Very popular, full house all the time.

    However it owns by private family. When I send them a message they respond after 4-5 hours. Many guest were confused including me we wanted to leave our bags and go to see the city. Nobody was there till 15:00. You could tell the owner was super busy. They should have someone for the morning.

    The bed was comfortable, the room was clean.the location is very nice

    But some people are not sociable enough for hostels, specially those anglo-saxon nomads traveling by plane who unfortunately invade this kind of cosy places nowadays.

    The receptionnist answered to me very fast when I asked about my late arriving and kindly prepared everything for me. The building and flat are very nice. The kitchen has a lot of tools. Bathrooms are comfortable.

    I slept on bottom bunk of bunk bed. There was no room to properly sit up

    The hostel was the cleanest I’ve seen so far in 7 weeks of travel

    There wasn't a curtain on the windows in the bedroom. The door of the bedroom is too close to two beds and when someone opens it, it hurts the bed and it could be a bother for who is sleeping. But these are not big problems.

    The receptionists are very polite and available. The hostel is really clean, it is also really near the center. There is the possibility to have a locker and the keys of the hostel if you want to access after 11pm after the reception close.

    The POS-terminal doesn't work, they send you to the bank to exchange money. Put a folding bed - more people in the room than advertised. Very hot and smelly in the room. Only 2 bathrooms. The windows face a noisy street.

    The staff was friendly and helpful. They let me leave my luggage after I checked out. Clean. A kitchen where you can cook. An old beautiful building.

    It was very warm and you couldn’t close a curtains at the night time. Also I guess water is warmed up with boiler so if you want to get warm water - go to shower first :)

    Hostel was super calm, staff was friendly, in the kitchen you can find all the tools that you need. Beds are comfortable and clean.

    The problem of this place is that in order to access the whole bulding and then to go to the hostel there are two doors in the main road and one big door behind . The door code on the street is only for one door of the main road and the code was not working at all, tried also on the other doors. Therefore if every door is closed (especially the big door behind), you risk to be stuck outside as it happened to us. We were stuck outside after late night out and we stayed until 5 am outside, we tried to call anyone in the stuff or ringing but none was there as early morning. The only solution found after was to access the building through a kebab place which one of its doors goes inside the whole building. They need to absolutely fix that issue for the code or to find an alternative! In addition to the "funny" trouble , the door to access after the hostel if closed from inside the key cannot open it. Fortunately someone was awake and opened for us.

    Good Hostel in general. We stayed 3 nights and we took the private room which was good , and private bathroom (outside the room) was very clean. Position of the hostel in the city centre is perfect. Some things such as towel you need to pay a part if you want. Wifi present in the building. Overall satisfied.

    toilets didn’t have trash and the street outside is a bit busy so would recommend sleeping with earplugs

    Chill vibes, not loud and people are nice, social kitchen! people from different age groups :)!

    owner doesn’t speak English, he is not very friendly, there have been many people in the living room in front of the sleeping rooms all day which was kind of disturbing while sleeping

    amazing location in the Center of the city, close to bars and clubs, late check in possible, clean bathroom

    I came here just for 1 night. There were almost no guests at the accomodation but i think because it was a Monday. It was quiet and the bed was comfortable. For me, it was perfect! Thanks for all!
