    Kitchen is a bit small but it's enough if you just want to reheat things or make some coffee

    The hostel is very well situated and very close to all restaurants, shops and sightseeing. Dan is very friendly and help me to figure it out where I could find a hike I really wanted to do. He called several of his friends to help me! The hostel is super new, very functional and clean !

    What I didn't like was that the host knew I was Arab. He started asking very strange questions and started checking if I was in Romania. He treated me with racism because I am an Arab, so I wrote this review in order to treat Arabs in a good way next time.

    The place was good, cheap and clean, I loved it

    - They moved my things to another room when I was out. Please ask first. I was charging something that wasn't charged when I needed it. - I was made to move rooms to make way for people who never came. - It's not a social hostel if that's what you're looking for. - Top bunks are difficult to get into.

    - The location is the best part: right in the old town. - Wifi is fast - Beds are comfy - Never had to wait for a toilet or shower - Early check in

    Unfortunately there is no reception desk so there was no human presence at the hostel. There were problems with the light censors in bathroom and showers, kind of dangerous if showering at night and light turns off!

    Location was great and was a very clean and quiet place, beds were comfortable and easy check in and check out process

    Aircon control wasn’t in the room so couldn’t use it, window was open instead and there was a net but the temperature dip at night meant I went to bed sweating from heat and woke up cold in the middle of the night). Cold showers on the arrival day, bins not emptied enough (a larger one maybe would resolve this best). I booked two nights but only stayed only one and I understand the showers were sorted and duvets provided from the second night which would have made it more comfortable.

    Location is great, keypad access felt safe and lockers are provided with a key so no need for padlocks. Communicates via WhatsApp due to no reception but all easy and friendly. Free coffee was nice and rules made the property seem cleaner / no shoes inside is a good idea (though providing slippers might be nice as not everyone has indoor shoes when travelling hostels). Space was small but seemed well taken care of - any sign of roaches outside was them dead so I think the whole building is working towards fighting them!

    It is a 2 room apartment - not a hostel! You are on your own!

    This is not a hostel - is basically an Airbnb kind of place (a 2 room apartment) which brings more revenue if rented as a hostel. There is no reception - you get a code key and you are on your own (with other people that are sharing the same apartment). You are a bit depending that the other travellers are decent people - if they are not you still need to deal with them by yourself - as again there is nobody there. Same goes for the neighbours (as this is an apartment building).The entrance in the building is shady, smelly and dark at nights - for the extra money the owner does (as not renting to a regular person or Airbnb - but as hostel) COULD voluntary, from his own money put light on the stairs. There is no space to really hang around (like a living room) - there is a space in the sleeping room but that it not a space for chilling- as people sleep and rest at different times in the exact same room. Also - there is soo much "responsibility" put on the travellers - remove the bed sheets, put that there, do that, don't that, etc.....which are meant just to make the life of the owner easier (and he works less and gets more money). It will be nice to have some recycling system in place.

    The place is in the city centre and close to everything you want to see ; it is clean and you have lockers on the site; the beds are very comfy and you have privacy (as curtains to the bed) if you want so. The check-out is quite generous late.

    The beds sheets could be replaced more frequently as they appear to be old even if they are clean. The rooms can be quiet stuffy at night with no air conditioning. The doors need to be oiled at the hinges so that they are less loud when opening. People staying here should be aware that there is no staff at the hostel. I arrived at 2pm but waited 45min before the host remembered to send the code. There is no formal reception area at all. All instructions are provided via mobile communication. There is no area for guests to actually meet apart from the bedrooms. This makes the vibe less appealing than other hostels.

    The property is generally clean with the hallway and shower area kept tidy. The rooms are spacious and the lockers are a good size.

    Bedbugs... I can't overlook it, especially because other guests have mentioned it before. While the host gave a swift reply and assured me about a check, it looks like the whole place must to be examined thoroughly, even if it means being out of business for a while. I was lucky enough to work from home after my visit, still it was literally a rude awakening, and I'm badly bitten all over.

    Otherwise nice and tidy, practical, with a youth-friendly and progressive vibe. The host always replied quickly. Easy access and excellent location with the tram, pubs and other institutions a few minutes away. Towel's included.

    The reception closes early at 18:00 and opens late at 10:00. This means that they do not understand the need of travelers who use hostels. This also meant that I could not pay for the night directly, and they asked me to transfer the money to their bank in Romania. Since Romania does not use Euros, I lost about 8 Euros to convert the money and pay some fees involved. So 16 Euros to stay there suddenly became 24 Euros. Anybody who come to stay at this hostel from outside Romania are warned.

    Convenient location.

    It's not about the situation but the response. He was out of town so came in afternoon of next day to check. Up to this is understandable. They didnt even offer laundry service let alone offer a full refund. And I specifically asked them. Didn't even offer to look for a laundromat or give me a ride. He just kept mentioning some iron in the corner. I googled and explained to them about bed bugs. Didn't seem to research on their own at all. When finally found a bed bug after disbelief and I reacted. He said it's not going to kill you. I had to go look for laundromat on top of going to pcr test center on checkout day. I had to go look for and buy longer pants and top so i can cover the bites instead of relaxing on my vacation. It is so itchy I can't and couldn't do anything also I couldn't get any sleep. My plans for Greece as next destination is also ruined because of welts everywhere. I couldn't go to another hostel since my clothes were not laundered and it was late and I slept in their office the last night. And so he says I should get the last night refunded since I didn't stay in the hostel the last night.
