I stayed in Helena's hostel for 4 days. The location is great (just 5 mins walk from the metro station) and 20 mins walk to the river bank. Helena is very nice and you feel going back to home. I will stay in this hostel for the next time.

Helena is old woman with nice behaviour. She sleeps next to doorway,so everytime you enter,she will wake up. I think that her son in mentally handicapped ,he looks weird and sounds scary. Bed linen was stinky and Helena smokes a lot.Even you open the window,you can still smell the cigarette´s smoke. My friend was pretty scared because of old man walking in our room. The bathroom is clean,but you have to wait around two minutes for hot water.The beds keep breaking.I would never come back again.

It is not a hostel..It is just old flat.. but it is not really clean...i am not sure they even change linens there.. and in the kitchen there is only 2 chairs to seat...no common room... you can only sleep there...that's it.... the only ok thing is that they quite close to the center... but I still do no recommend

The beds kept breaking, there was not once any toilet paper, and I caught conjunctivitis there. Helena was a very very nice woman, but her English was poor. When I got the conjunctivitis I asked her where the nearest 24 hour pharmacy was and she couldn't understand.

Good location, basic accomodation (incl. wifi) for a cheap price. Not the huge dorm feeling but just some beds in a room. Ideal for a night (or two) before travelling further.
