The hostel is in a great location, right by the ruins of the castle ajd a nearby plaza. The owner is really friendly. The building is on the older side so its a little lived in but my bed was clean and i had no issues. This is a good place if you just need a bed. The showers/bathrooms werent the best but were very usable. Overall pretty decent place for the price. Checkout was also easy, you just hand him the keys and get your deposit back. The street can be a but noisy so i reccomend earplugs.

Hi, the hostel was really horrible. It was filthy and it smelt very bad . Toilets were very dirty / smelly , and showers. Some windows had no glass Kitchen dirty, people were smoking in there. There were no smoke alarms or fire escapes. The atmosphere was uncomfortable and we were scared lots of shouting / banging from next door apartments. Ilan was not helpful re deposit / key so we did not return for deposit as we felt uncomfortable . It was up 4 flights of dirty stairs with flies
