The bathroom was flithy. There were hairballs on the floor a urine on the toilet seat. The sheets had stains on them and the place has an unusual odor. Breakfast was supposed to be included but it wasnt.

No warm water, no heating (which is actually needed in winter), cooker and microwave were broken and quite dirty...I don´t recommend you to stay there.

Not at all what we expected. We were lead to another building, away from where the receptionist and other rooms were into a building that was dark and not very clean. Didn´t seem very safe.

Lovely hostel and friendly staff. I especially like to roof terrace where you can have sun all day long and enjoy dinner or just relax.
