My room wasn’t cleaned between the last guests who checked out and for 2 days after I checked in. The reception staff were helpful and kind, but the system takes a long time and the queue to check in took 40 minutes when I was the 3rd person in line, and others were waiting for over an hour out the door.

Great place especially for the price, room was lovely and quiet and I had great privacy in the bed as they have curtains. Floor could use a vacuum and maybe some spots were a bit dirty but the beds/ sheets are lovely and clean and the place is opposite the train station. Note: you need a big lock for under the bed storage as my little lock couldn’t fit through the gaps. I guess it depends who you have in your room but I really enjoyed the place and had a safe and relaxing stay.

The rooms very small and suffocating. They only have a small fan on the table so if you get the top bed you won’t get any fresh air, as there is no ceiling or wall fan. The room was unclean and it is very clear their staff is pushed to do it fast so they don’t have time to clean properly(I bet they are underpaid,too). Also the room is not soundproofed so the noise from the street was too loud. I have been to other a&o hostel locations and my experience here was below standard in comparison,
