    I was on the top bunk, and the bed (including the bottom bunk) wobbles badly when you go up and down the ladder. Not enough sockets in the room. I was in a room of 6 and found only 2 sockets. One of them was "hidden" by a mattress so you couldn't use it and the other one is located right by the door so you can't really use your phone while it charges. No common area except for the dining room but it closes after breakfast. A bit far from the city center (30 minute walk), but on a nice day it's doable. The showers and bathroom are unisex which is a little uncomfortable.

    Breakfast was good The facilities are ok But the best thing is the value for money.

    No lounge area or communal space to spend some time. My room had only one key and I shared with a stranger who came back very late. I had to wake up and open the door after midnight.

    It's old but clean and good enough to stay for a few days. Breakfast is also good!

    It was a little far from the city centre. We had done a lot of walking exploring the city and couldn't face the climb up hill, so we caught a bus, which is easy to do, but not what we had expected to do.

    I missed a common area to sit. The dining area was off limits except for breakfast. The only place to sit was on the bed.

    The nice breakfast was a great start to my day. The rooms were very clean and there was plenty of hot water in the shower.

    Mixed bath. It smells like pee where you shower. You go past the urinals to get to the shower. No kitchen. No living room.

    24h reception, nice stuff there. Breakfast was nice (you get like one slice of ham and one of cheese and cannot ask for more).

    This old style hostel is now showing its age and now needs a) painted b) some new cabin style beds with curtains and c) the bathrooms need re-done especially for the basement rooms which are ancient...

    Simple, basic, good value youth hostel near the student end of town... easy to park your hire car in the street, for free, which is impossible in the mire modern city centre hostels... (thats why i stay there often...)

    Only one key for a 6ded dorm. For 6 different persons with a different schedule. So as you can imagine door must be always open or somebody must open door anytime when knocking

    An old building with old furnitures. It s clean and 6bed dorm is big enough. WI fi is excellent. 30 min walking to the city center and bus station for a well trained person. It s on the hill. Bus station just in the corner although. Very good price and a basic breakfast. So it s a good deal

    Location as when we stay the buses were on strike and we had to walk half and hour up the hill. I guess with the bus there wouldn’t be any problem.

    Beds were very comfortable and clean rooms. Toilets and showers clean and close to the rooms. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great!

    Showers was horrible. Was not on our floor. Only a curtain, as a woman in a communal bathroom this is very uncomfortable. It also did not look clean. Because of these reasons I did not feel comfortable to take a shower for my two night stay. There was also no lock opportunity in the room.

    Clean room, toilet and sinks. Staff was friendly and breakfast was good.
