I rent a private room, but it smells bad. I want to boil some water, the girl just said the kitchen is time to close and they don\\\'t provide water, leave me thirsty for the night. You know, after a day\\\'s walk, I really don\\\'t want to go anymore to buy a bottle of water. Why can\\\'t you make an exception for some drips of water? Is that a real big deal?! I saw an old man sitting in the lounge all the night, lonely you can feel.

The place was great, my only real complaint was the fact that the restroom was dirty and it smelled.

I think it's too bad to live. This hostel is not too far to downtown but also too old of facilities of hostel. The locker of room, the door and celling of restroom are broken. And the check out is so early(09:30a.m.). Besides you need to carry your all lugages to lobby every morning if you booked more than one night.

I think that this hostel was a great place to stay and I liked the fact that it has nightly outings.

This place has no character what so ever- it feels more like an asylum than a hostel. You are treated like a number- not a person, they force you out of your room and hostel by 11am every morning-No Exceptions! Badly maintained and and too far away from the city centre. Want to have fun? Don't stay here!!

The hostel was disgusting- dark, dirty, with sheets thrown over most of the furniture. I didn't see any bed bugs- they probably solved this problem by buying plastic mattresses. Two of the ceiling tiles in the bathroom were falling down, one was gone, and the shower stalls and curtains were moldy. There was an odd smell in the building, and it is true that you don't get keys to your room- you just borrow them from reception. Do not stay here.
