“ Stayed 2n and the first was horrible. I had the upper bed without curtain and people with curtains didt even think twice when switching the light on at 2am! And leaving it on when they went to bed and pulled the curtains shut...so have curtains in all or non. People are rude. in the morning one guy at the top bed switched room because of that and i luckily got to switch beds to lower one with curtain because someone left. Reseption was a bit rude and i had to ask everything one by one. ”

“ Fine for just staying over night, but not for longer. Hostel is in general too crowded and rooms are very small with 15 beds inside (not very comfy). You have to pay for using lockers, and they dont really seem to function. Anyway, good location and cheap price, breakfast included. ”

“ Had to pay extra for the lockers. They charge for every night. Also a 15 bed dorm is not something you want to sleep in if you have important business next day. ”

“ After arriving at the hostel it turned out the beds we were assigned we not cleaned yet (previous person left their bed linnen and all). We were told they would do so in the afternoon, but when we returned around dinner time it was still not cleaned. My boyfriend asked again and was told they would do so in a minute. After asking 3 times, we just did it ourselves because it was 10:30 pm and we wanted to sleep. All in all the staff was not nice and didn't seem to be bothered at all. ”
