A lovely hostel with a lovely atmosphere and really friendly people from all over the world. The staff were all very helpful and welcoming. Shame about the mould in the bathroom but at that price I didn't really mind. Also I couldn't leave food in the kitchen for more than 5 minutes without it being nicked! Overall a really good experience though. I would stay there again.

Staff were nice, but no lockers in rooms, and the electronic card keys to the rooms regularly did not work which was a bit annoying. Bathroom facilities were old and showers did not drain well. It was pretty easy to get to everything from there though.

We can\'t say anything good about this place. The dorms smelled. They never use the heat so you were forced to rent a filthy blanket for 2 euros. The kitchen was vomit-inducing. No one enforced kitchen cleaning rules so it was always necessary to wash dishes before and after you used them. The room cards never stayed charged for longer than half a day, so you constantly had to recharge it at reception. The staff was not always friendly. The showers/bathrooms were disgusting too. BIG THUMBS DOWN!

The showers very dirty. You have to pay for blankets. In the web say free breakfast, and then you donīt have breakfast at all. There are damp patchs on the ceilings. The worse hostel I have ever been.   Read Owner Comments

It was pretty good! The staff was very friendly, the rooms were clean. It is such a cheap hostel, but still a very good one!

It's not as bad as people say it is; I would recommend hiring the blanket as it does get cold at night (I visited in autumn). It's just enough out of the center so it's not loud, but close enough where you can pop into a grocery store.
