Great spot right in the centre of old town. Buses and trains super close by which is convenient. Rooms are reasonably clean, but the chill zone needs a bit of TLC as it has an interesting smell. Shared showers are really clean for what I expected, a little small but for a hostel it's expected. Would stay here again

A nice hostel to visit and within walking distance of everywhere. We had a private ensuite, which made our stay great and the breakfast and cheap drinks were value for money.

The staff are so nice and the accomadation as well.We enjoyed staying in this hotel
We booked a private room and were surprised that it was a tiny bunk room with hardly any space to walk around. The en-suite bathroom reminded us of a campground bathroom. Even though it had a private bathroom, we still had to pay for towels. WiFi in the room was so slow we couldn’t even book tickets for sites the next day, much less stream a movie. We checked out after one night, even though we paid for three. Would NOT recommend the private room unless you plan to use it for sleeping ONLY.
Home maintenance please pay attention to one particular shower cabin (the one at the end)- terrible function,water was literally just DRIPPING from the shower head,drip..drip..drip,by then I was already undressed of course,and the other cabins were already occupied.
Btw,I was staying at 4th.floor.
Please check it out. Thx.room 403.
But otherwise enjoyed my stayed.
2nd time I've stayed here, perfect location for access to the city and station. The staff are all beyond lovely and happy to help! I would suggest booking double bunks rather than triple if you want a bit more room to sit on your bed etc! Great place very affordable, friendly, clean and comfy!
cleaning is required, lightings needs to be adjust in both toilet and bathroom since they were switching off automatically even when the person was inside. That’s about it.
Overall it was alright, safe and convenient.
The area was in a great location. My room had a private bathroom but no hot water for the shower. The room was also cold with no way to turn up the heat. The hostel makes you pay for a towel and service can be a bit slow. On the plus side the room was nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. The views from the window were stunning.
I booked one of their suites and I really enjoyed my stay after all the sightseeing. Conveniently located in the centre of town.
Strongly recommended this hostel 👍
