This place is the lowest of the lows. I know hostels are suppose to be gross, but there is no reason for there to be wet toilet paper stuck to everything. This was the first hostel I actually might contract a disease from. And keep all recipts if you go here. We were asked to pay twice, and they lost my reservation for the last night, and they didn't believe me till i whipped out the reciept. So keep yours if you dare to enter this hell hole.

Staff unfriendly. Rooms crampt. One key PER ROOM. Toilets intolerable. No soap. Found only one toilet with a seat. A different toilet had the paper. Kitchen available 18:00 to 21:30. No knives, spoons or soap. No internet/laundry. Nearby company recommended. Were quoted €18 for laundry (2 people). Free shot at nearby bar. Drinks start at €5. Staff perhaps the sleaziest I've encountered. Breakfast almost as appalling as the staff. A ration of bread, jam and weak tea. One to avoid.

They didn't have me booked, I'd to show'em my mail. Just with guys in the room. Only a couple of keys for all the room. Not serious. Just for one night.

Please DON'T STAY THERE! The bathrooms are just GROSS, no ac, people are loud, most of the rooms don't have numbers on the doors so you have people knocking your door all the time. I know it is cheap, but you'll be better off spending a little more money in a better place.

good location, decent staff, worst cleanliness ever! it is about 18 euros a night but the four single bathrooms were as dirty and disgusting as you can imagine. I complained to the staff a couple of times, but it was just bad, beyond belief. if are all about cleanliness in the bathroom, don't go there. if you are about location and cheap accommodation, then it is ok.

A great place to stay, the staff is extremely nice and helpful and the rooms are clean and so are the bathrooms. Close proximity to the main train station and also close to a lot of restaurants and bars.

Filthy. I woke up with 7 bites, I think they were bed bugs. The pillow inside the cover was stained brown all over.The toilets seat falls off the toilet.The showers dont drain well and fill with water.One key per room and you can walk into the hostel from the street through open doors. There are no lockers. It is hotter inside the hostel than it is outside,no AC or fans. Breakfast is a piece of bread, crackers,cake bar,tea, coffee,water.I would never stay here again.

The people at reception were awesome- but the hostel itself was the pits. I had been hostel hopping for 4 weeks all over Europe and Italy and it was by far the most filthy hostel I have ever stayed in. Everything was always wet and dirty. Not to mention bed bugs. BED BUGS! I think they speak for themselves.
