Everything was good except the washroom door lock needing replacement/repair and it was not done during my stay despite the note stuck to the door saying DoNot Use The Washroom. Further, there was no other option provided for the customers.

Very nice clean room, enough appliances, codes to your room, seperate womens only shower & bathroom. I had a view out on a parking lot but that does not matter since i didnt come here to just stare out the window. its not in the most prettiest of places but that also doesnt matter to me. If youre not into talking to people, then this hotel is perfect, i spoke to exactly 1 staff memver my whole week stay and it was on my own volition. Great for if youre introverted and just want to be alone. Not noisy. Free Tv, free fridge, clean linnens, nice bed, big window, free kettle and a sink in your room. Great deals for the price. I reccomend.

Dorm converted into hostel next to a university. 20min to center by metro, run every 15min. Dryer does not work too well, 3 hours cycle and cloths still damp.

Convenient location but noise through the night
Okay, it’s a hostel so you should be prepared for a spartan existence. Thumbs up to the 22:00-07:00 curfew. Thumbs down to the total lack of observance to this curfew. I was woken till 2am every night by loud mouthed neighbours, whose voices and mobile telephone music echoed up and down the hallway. And, forgot to mention this, there was no men’s loo or shower on the entire floor! So it’s a ‘NEVER AGAIN’ from me but if you are already rendered hard of hearing from Beats-perforated eardrums and don;t have to run a company from early morning then: GREAT! Otherwise, avoid....

Lovely beds
The hotel was easy to get to by bus. The beds where very comfortable, better than my bed at home. The room was clean, but the shared facilities, like the little kitchen was not very clean. Also there where no plates and cutlery on our floor of the hotel, so we had to hunt for them elsewhere. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and very quiet, with little noise from traffic or neighbors.
