The staff were super nice, friendly and helpful. However, there's a strange policy of charging €5 for "bed sheets"... I've never seen this before at any other hostel. As far as I've seen, bed sheets are always included in the regular booking. I guess this is a way to make prices appear lower while searching. I figure they should include this in the original price. These extra little charges are kind of annoying.
