Good value for the money

Pros: Very close to the train station, nice atmosphere. Cons: Lack of privacy. I know it’s a hostel but something like a room divider or curtain would make stay more comfortable.

Don’t go unless you have to

Pros: I did not like it, it is just a Solution if u arrive late to the City. The morning receptionist is nice Cons: Mostly everything, normally you arrive to a Hostel and at least they put the bedsheets, here I arrive at 1 am to make my bed in a room with other 5 people, not letting them sleep properly because of that. Also lobby smelled weird, the showers were kind of broken and dirty and the toilet was super dirty, that I preferred to go somewhere in the city. Also the night receptionist are not so friendly but the morning guy is really polite and kind with new guest.

Stop that ALL GENDER washroom trend

Pros: Cost and location Cons: Washrooms were nasty, the urine smell was intense, toilet paper all over the floor... If we women wouldn't have to share washrooms with men, this would be a better world!

Small but cozy private room, however was quite noisy through the night.

Pros: I liked that it was super central and comfortable. The girls at the counter spoke good english and were polite/friendly. The room was exactly what i expected from the pictures, nothing fancy, but clean. Cons: The doors on the floor were banging through the night. There was noise in general in the floor, i could hear people talking in rooms or corridor past midnight. I went for the Marathon and ended up not resting a lot due to noise.
