    Cosy hostel close to central station

    Unfortunately I didn't see beforehand that towels are not provided. There is one bathroom with a shower & toilet and one separate toilet for up to 12 people. Although it wasn't at max capacity and therefore not an issue when I was there. As people have mentioned before, there is not a lot of room for luggage in the rooms. In the morning there was loud chatter from the neighbours right outside the window. There is no staff present on location and while checkin is simple it also means there's no one to keep an eye out for potentially problematic guests. There was one gues who seemed to be on some kind of drugs and while nothing happened I would definitely have felt safer with staff present (at least sometimes).

    Short walking distance from the central station and many buses. The hostel has a very homey feel and the kitchen sufficiently well equipped. Comfortable bed with privacy curtain for the lower bunks. There was an AC (but we didn't use it) as well as fast and stable internet. Lockers in the hallway with keys so you don't need to bring your own lock. Leaving my bags for a few hours until my bus was not a problem. The owner was helpful and quick to respond.

    A small homely hostel a bit airbnb-ish. Very friendly owners. Everything is new and clean. Comfortable beds in a decent size room. Very close to the central bus/rail station. Though not at the center still a walking distance and all the lines get there

    A bit too thin blankets If they provided towels, would be amazing ;)

    Very good and clean hostel. Very friendly owner. Nice and easy communication, fast replies from his side. Very good location - 5 minutes from bus station, 7 minutes from shopping centre, 15 minutes from the city centre. As I understood, maximum capacity of hostel is 12 people. As it’s a low season, there were 4 or 5 guests only. Very quiet. Everyone was nice and respectful. My room for 4 people had an a/c. There’s also an a/c in the living room /kitchen. I didn’t use kitchen, but it seemed to be fully equipped, with kettle and microwave and small stovetop. Lockers are provided. Easy access with the code and elevator.

    There's some reviews for Railway on Google reviews, but none on here when I booked so I wanted to leave one. This is a fairly new hostel, and it is a fantastic stay. It's a second floor apartment setup which makes it very homey and comfortable. There's a kitchen, two bathrooms, a living room space, and a balcony. It's incredibly clean, and the location is excellent: 5 minutes from the bus station and 10 minutes from all the main attractions at the city center. I would advise messaging the property ahead of time before you check in so they can send you the door codes and your bed number. Otherwise, you might be standing at the door ringing the bell with no one there to receive you.

    There was a clog in the shower and the door didn't close properly. They could offer towels. Missing a bin inside the bedrooms.

    Modern hostel close to the bus station, friendly staff. Easy and quick check-in. Big lockers.

    There is only 1 bathroom, it is manageable during my stay but could be not adequate.

    Very near to train / bus station. New hostel. 1 room with 8 beds, 1 room with 4 beds. The common area is nice for relaxing.

    No ac in the room even if it says so. Just an apartement with dorms, not really a hostel if you look for that.

    Location very near to the bus station and close to a big shopping mall. Perfect for an early flight and souvenirs. Didn't met the owner, but friendly through messages.

    Nothing to complain.

    Really nice place, clean, comfortable and safe. It’s self check in, but the owners came there to chat and Cillian took us to some bars during the night to get to know around.

    Very friendly owners, new and clean apartment, super close to the bus station. The kitchen/ living room area has nice furniture and is equipped with everything you need. The beds are comfy and it is quiet at night. I had a good time here and definitely recommend to stay :) However, given that the hostel just recently opened, some things can still be improved :) For instance, I highly recommend installing mosquito nets on all windows. Also, an AC or fan in the bedrooms would be really helpful :) But overall, everything was super fine :)

    The host Cillian is really friendly & helpful. This is a converted apartment & as such is very clean & modern with comfortable bunk beds & basic kitchen ammenities that meet needs. Only a max of 10 people I think, 2 bathrooms & nice size lounge area. Was a great vibe & so close to the bus & train station!
