I stayed here for one night, and it was fine for a short stay. I was initially placed in a basement room with very small windows facing the street, so I asked to move. I was then given a windowless room, which was fine for one night but wouldn't have been ideal for a longer stay. I felt the bathrooms could have been cleaner. The hostel felt more like a hotel and didn't have any social activities on the day I stayed. Staff was very helpful.

Hostel is clean and staff are nice. Rooms are clean, bed is comfy, toilets are clean. Just a bit distant from the city center and not ideal for a heavy luggage as the hostel location is uphill and no elevator, although the staff helped me bring my luggage on the 1st floor. Breakfast was good, many choices of marmalade, cheese, teas, meat for sandwiches and juices. I would recommend more choices of fruits though.
