We enjoyed staying in this hostel. The common spaces are very nice. Kitchen is a bit small though ;). There are electricity plugs near every bed, you can lock up your whole backpack if you want to. The days that we spent there ( Easter) the breakfast wasnt that big and good, like we have read in the reviews.

Location excellent but average hostel overall. Tiny area for breakfast and grumpy lady in attendance who ends proceeding on the dot of 10. Otherwise front desk staff are nice. Average to por cleanliness.

We were only there one night but it was a pleasant stay. The common areas were nice and clean as were the kitchen and bathrooms. Huge lockers in the rooms and great location with a standard breakfast.

nice hostel if you want to stay only for some nights. Two baths were under construction, so it took quite some time for everybody to get a shower. The breakfast is okay. The kitchen is sufficient.

The toilet bowl on the first floor is not working. Location of the hostel and breakfast are the main highlights, in my opinion
