Check-in was very easy. The room itself was a bit cramped with so many bed pods. It was quite difficult to make the bed yourself. The shower/bathroom was very clean and had multiple doors/locks for separation so many people could use it at once. It got very warm at night with so many bodies in the room. The restaurant was great, and with the keycard offered a 10% discount. My greatest complaint is that it is so far from the train station (about 1 hour walk) and sits on a steep hill. With buses on an odd schedule and the metro not close, it was difficult to reach.
I liked the cleaness but i didnt like a lot of slopes to get there, also towels are not provided, even homeless shelters provide free towels, why cant they do it? I dont like city taxes pay separately, should be included all, expédia, please do not separate city taxés, it just annoying to pay at premise.
Nice and clean however there was no shampoo provided as described and you had to pay to rent a towell and lock for the storage lockers. Food and drinks were average for the price.
L'hôtel est propre et le service donné par le personnel est excellent. Seulement, l'emplacement ne m'a pas plus puisque j'ai trouvé l'accès à difficile en raison des pentes et escaliers très nombreux à monter. Je n'avais pas envie de payer pour un taxi ou Uber a chaque fois que sortais de l'hôstel alors j'ai tout fais à pied jusqu'au métro les bus n'étant pas assez nombreux a mon goût.
The room and bathroom were clean. Very quirky, would have been more comfortable with more storage, comfortable flooring and the very high ceiling was strange. Wouldn’t have liked to use the bunks.
