    It's a bit far away (20min walking) from the train and bus stations. The breakfast was nothing special.

    When I checked in I realized that my room's (305) bathroom has a bathtub and I am not a fan of them, so I asked the receptionist to change a room and he gave me 304 which had a shower and the green wall which is shown in the pictures. I really appreciated the change and was more comfortable in the new room.

    Tbh, I like this place. However, I saw mice in the kitchen and another in the reception/dinning area while having breakfast. Also, there were flies hovering over some of the items for breakfast. I’d suggest they take more measures to address these things. Aside this, it’s a nice place.

    The location is good and the room was tidy

    I would appreciate if hostels - including this one - stopped charging extra for a bed in a female only room.

    The room was clean, you get a blackout curtain around your bed, bed light, socket and a shelf. Bed was comfortable.

    The cleaner came in to the room before check-out time and therefore woke me up early in the morning while cleaning the other beds in the room.

    It was very nice rooms and a great location!

    More clarity about the 2 different breakfast you can have.

    Room was a bit small, but I liked the bunk bed. There was also a communal kitchen and area on the 1st floor. And a nice sitting area outside. Within 15 minutes you're in the old part of the city.

    Our room had a sloping roof, so very little headroom when lying in the bed, hit my head a few times. Also made showering difficult as couldn't stand up properly. The bike storage didn't seem very secure and is also uncovered. Would be good if there was a gluten free breakfast option.

    Nice hostel bar Friendly staff

    There was a very large group booking who came down for breakfast and ate nearly all of the food before we came to breakfast at 8am!! The staff made no effort to explain this at check in nor did they try to restock the breakfast buffet after the group had left! The staff should have spoken to the remaining guests (about 5 or 6 of us) after the group had left to at least apologise or ask us if we wanted anything else. At a cost of 9€ I would expect more than a slice of bread, coffee and some orange juice. My daughter who worked in a hostel for 2 months last year was with with me and very surprised and disappointed by the lack of planning and poor communication of the hostel staff.

    Great location, very nice staff and facilities.

    The shower really needs to be improved. There was mould on the roof, the shower was push button (no pressure or temperature control) and water went everywhere if you opened the door when the shower was running. You also have to pay €4 extra for a towel.

    Great location - close to the park and not far from the central city. The dorms are nice with privacy curtains, lockers and shelves/plugs by the beds. Nice bar by reception where you can get a drink and delicious bakery across the road.

    As I was working remotely and in a spacious room a small desk would have been very helpful. The smart tv was a nice component but it only works if you can cast your own streaming subscriptions- which wasn’t compatible with my tech. Instructions on how to access local news, events and weather on this device would have been nice.

    Excellent location and facilities with an experienced staff fluent in English and likely many other languages.

    The hostel is fairly new, and has an equipped kitchen and bar in the ground floor. It felt like there could have been more than one toilet/shower on the first floor given how many beds there are, but I was always able to find an empty spot on either the first or ground floors. The beds are comfy and private, with built-in shelves and plugs, but nowhere to store luggage. Location is about 15 minutes walk to the center or 15 minutes by bus to the train station.

    One female staff member in Reception had a permanent scowl which got worse if we asked her for something. A pity — everyone else was so good natured and kind — including the cleaning staff, so sweet. Radiateurs. The one in the bathroom couldn’t be modulated. Bit was in fact ver hot.

    Breakfast ok, just a bit too expensive for what it was. 7€ would have been a fairer price. Reception was GREAT with one exception. EXCELLENT drag queen show, thank you !

    Despite the efforts of cleaning women the common areas always looked dirtyGuests do not seem to respect bathroom and kitchen area.It was impossible to use the fridge it was full of other people's stuff and smelling really bad 👎 Rubbish bins were completely full from early afternoon hours. Also the toilets were badly used and there was mud on the top of the shower 🚿

    Spacious comfortable facilities with a cute bar downstairs in a lovely vibrant street! The staff helped me choose a good room for me so that I am comfortable during my stay!

    There was a wood structure inside the room right above the bed, and it was a bit dangerous to hit the head, Most part of it was covered with protecting rubber but there was still a portion exposed.

    Very good price for a double room and in a good location.
