The location is excellent, it is near to the train station, only 5 minutes to walk. And the staff is also kind and nice. The only thing is the floor sounds strange when you walk on it, but it does not bother other's sleep.

Great hostel to stay due to location close to train station/city centre and would stay again. The only recommendation I would make is for WIFI to be available throughout the hostel and provide lockers in the room rather than outside. Except for that no issues...

The hostel is good in general. weekends is more expensive. breakfast is simple and they charge per piece of bread, cheese, and so on, so fair but expensive for just being slices. Expect people from all ages, not only backpackers.

Very good location. But first day my cereal and coffee was 2.50 Euros and on the 2nd day it was 5.00 Euros. Strange Huh!

Good location, but generally speaking the ventilation of the shower room and toilet is not so good. On the floor I've stayed, one of the toilet was clean only when just after regular cleaning (I know it's not the fault of the hostel).

Great Hostel fo the value of your money. We stayed at double room private bathroom and it was ok very clean, the only thing we didnt like : the pillows! So "fluffy" you need to fill it with a t-shirt or something. Besides that the rest was ok, would stay there again.

Hello...I can assure you that we have plenty of hot wate rin all our showers....you just have to turn the "Hot Water" Tap.... You did not inform us that you lost money...so complaining about it to Hostelworld after your check out is not particularly helpful.We have a large number of saftey deposit boxes on each corridor ,watched by cameras and free to use.
