the hostel is well situated in the city. The staff was very helpful but the room did not lock. In the dorm, the bathroom and the toilet did not lock either. There had no heat, only a small electric space heaters for a dormitory of 14 beds is not enough. I kept the coat in the whole experience. There is no security system base (rooms are lock, lockers for luggage, anyone can input when he wants!)

The hostel i situated in perfect place because it is in old town, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The only problem was the cleanliness of the room a lot of dust was in the room on the floor but in general we are satisfied.

Interior rather dark especially on stairways.It's only going to be for backpackers soon so you won't have 'hotel' guests complaining about noisy backpackers. Otherwise, fine and very central
