    Only had 2 beds for 3 people. They did put a mattress on the floor for us. Staff were generally unfriendly. Like climbing a mountain to get to room so don’t bring heavy suitcases.

    Great shower and toilets. Decent location.

    Cheap price = not the best hostel I've visited. One person left the room in the morning early, then another person said his wallet and phone were missing :( I slept with all valuables in my pocket. There is a locker outside the room, BUT you need your own padlock. There was a poster saying padlock for rent in the 'reception'- which is a bar downstairs, but the barman/manager says they didn't have any locks , when I went to look at the lockers, there was no padlocks anywhere so I guess they either run out or just weren't bothered to get new ones.

    Good location. Close to the train station. Cheap price compared to other hostels so worth it. Some nice breakfast places not too far from the hostel, but none on location.

    There were no-smoking signs posted everywhere, but when we got into the room, everything reeked of cigarette smoke. In the toilet and shower there was not even basic soap to wash hands, when I asked the staff about it, they said that it is a hostel and it is not provided. Cleanliness of rooms and toilets left to do better.

    I liked only the place of the hostel, because it’s in the central part of the city, 15 minutes walking from main railway station.

    One window in room was not closing properly, so-it was pretty cold in the room. Also-not always water in shower was warm enough for comfortable shower.

    It was very central. Also-my bus was delayed and I missed check in time, but thet were helpful to arrange self-check in for later. Also-the guy was very kind and helpful. I really liked that there was room for women and separate shower.

    All the lockers were broken. There were no individual plugs for charging batteries. They had power strips in some beds. I had the bad fortune of plugging my camcorder's battery charger in one of these power strips, and the battery fell to the "floor". But the floor was a mess of old pairs of sneakers -dozens of them, and the room was dark. The trashman was not there, so I took about 10 pairs of dirty shoes from a bag, and my battery was at the bottom. Lucky me! The following day was Sunday and the reception was closed. So, I wasn't able to leave my backpack at the reception after checking-out, and my ride was not as comfy as I thought it would be. Many drug addicts in the hostel, the city and the country, in general.

    The location is superb. People at the reception are nice.

    The room was small and had no windows. Shared outside toilet (one on our floor) and shower room next door at least 3 cubicles. All the rooms are upstairs. The stairs to my room are quite steep (could be a problem if someone has mobility issues).

    Location situated in the city centre. The the hostel is on has lots of bars, various shops and places to eat. The room was small. It had a small fridge, a kettle and a fan. The single bed was comfy, Clean enough. There was a laundry service within the Hostel. There was surprisingly little noise from outside. Easy access to my room. Swipe card for the front door and a key for my room,.
