    There was only one working shower and one toilet for 10 people. On some nights, when we walked to the hostel, it didn't feel very safe as there were groups of young men loitering in the park. At one night one of the men followed us, thankfully I had my partner. I would say if you're a solo female traveller, be extra vigilant.

    Close to the U-bahn so pretty accessible. The little kitchen and the fridge were great, we made our own breakfast and bought stuff from Penny (the market). The bread on the Turkish market on the corner was phenomenal, though. Loved the blackout curtains and that check-in details were given to us promptly.

    There's only 1 toilet and 2 showers shared by both rooms (10 beds). Also, the kitchen is right next to the toilet & showers. Very weird layout, so be prepared for being uncomfortable. In my bunk (no 6), the charging spot above the bed was not fixed to the wall, so it was annoying all night, especially as I moved around a lot while sleeping. The screws of the storage provided under the bed were loose/broken, and I struggled using it. They should focus on doing checkup and repairs around the beds, too. The kitchen is okay, but it doesn't have storage containers if you'll rather cook than eat out every day. Bring your own!

    It was comfortable, each bed had it's own privacy, and they provided storage below the bed with keys. You should still take your own padlock if you need more storage space and plan to use the lockers. Staff came almost every day to clean shared spaces, but it was more surface cleaning. More focus should probably be in the toilet area as some people (men*) pee on the toilet floor without cleaning after themselves. (This part was disgusting!)

    I think 2 toilets and 1 bathroom for 10 people is not really enough. The wifi was really inconsistent. It's also pretty noisy outside, so I would recommend earplugs to make sleeping a bit easier. The code to enter should also be sent ahead of time.

    This hostel was great for 2 days, I would say. The kitchen is nice and equipped, the lockers are big enough (you need your own padlock for them), and the bed curtains give you as much privacy as possible in such a setting. The location is pretty nice, it's right on the U2 line, and there are shops nearby.

    1. My first experience with a hostel. I saw on the website description that towels will be provided. So I did not bring my own. When I get there, I found a blanket for bed but for towels for the bathroom. I had to buy a towel myself. 2. Very close to street. Windows were left open all the time. The room was noisy and cold.

    Very close to a grocery store.

    There’s a combined toilet-and-shower area, plus a separate shower room serving up to ten people (six in one section and four in the other), so you may have to wait your turn.

    The property was conveniently located near a metro station (Vörgtenstraße) and a bus stop. The door access key was provided on the day of arrival, making check-in and entry seamless. The rooms were clean and well-equipped with lockers, hangers, an iron, and individual sleeping pods featuring charging sockets and reading lights. The kitchen was spacious, well-equipped, and had ample seating to comfortably enjoy meals.

    Nice value for money, clean space in a nice location with shared kitchen space and two bathrooms. There is no door between the two rooms, so it is basically a 10-bed spaced partially partitioned into 6 beds and 4 beds. Shower only lukewarm rather than hot.

    it is not clear enough that the bigger of the two dormitory rooms is not private but a transitional room. we booked the entire room, thinking we will be able to lock it etc…

    The Accomodation is very clean & easy access. Walking 3-5mins to next public Transport(Metro/Bus) Supermarket nearby. By Bus 8mins to the Stadion. Bathroom, kitchen, table are clean. Bed Comfy & Clean. Because I only slept for 7hrs after watching COLDPLAY, so its super OK for me!

    Actually I suggest the staffs send out the password as soon as possible, esp by the time of the available one. Guests may have concerns or questions without any info from the hotel as arriving it around the check-in time.

    The location next to the MRT with 3-mins walk only. All the goods inside the hotel is maintained well. You could hear few noise during the mid-night. It could let the guests stay relaxed.
