De perto o pior hostel que já fiquei, algumas pessoas pareciam que moravam lá de uns dias, as pessoas neste local não respeitam os outros em relação o horário, é totalmente desorganizado e mal limpo, se você está procurando algum lugar só pra dormir talvez vale a pena :)

Translated to English

Nearby the worst hostel I've ever stayed in, some people looked like they'd been staying there for a few days, people in this place don't respect others regarding the hours, it's totally disorganized and badly clean, if you're looking for somewhere just to sleep maybe it's worth it:)

you get what you pay for. rooms are actually okay but rest of the facilities are lacking. Central location but very much attracts a specific clientele. if you want to meet people + have a chilled atmosphere, stay somewhere else.

Erreurs de la part du personnel lors de la récupération des clés. On se retrouve à payer pour quelqu'un d'autre puis on nous demande de repayer la totalité de notre séjour. Quand on demande les caméras pour prouver qu'on a déjà payé on nous montre un autre jour... Quand ils comprennent qu'on a déjà payé , il n'y a même pas un geste commercial de la part du gérant. Réveillée en pleine nuit par un malade qui a essayé de m'emmener avec lui, heureusement qu'il y avait mes amis......

Translated to English

Mistakes by the staff when retrieving the keys. We find ourselves paying for someone else and then are asked to repay the entire amount of our stay. When we ask the cameras to prove that we have already paid they show us another day... When they understand that we have already paid, there is not even a commercial gesture from the manager. Wakened in the middle of the night by a sick man who tried to take me with him, fortunately there were my friends... Run!!

Wouldn’t recommend staying in the 14 person dorm. Can hardly sleep because of so much noise. Room smells like garbage and I’ve never so itchy after sleeping in a bed. Believe it was because of bed bugs. Wouldn’t recommend

Worst hostel I ever stayed. Staff rude, No cup/plate & other facilities, I mean who carry these stuff. Stairs like doing Cardio HIT. Only only location is good, rest everything ZERO, Nill, NADA 👎

Pésimo lugar para dormir en la litera de arriba, literalmente no puedes estar sentado porque está suuuuper cerca del techo, los baños estaban siempre sucios y aparte después de las 10 pm literalmente no te dejan platicar en el área del comedor, te dicen que no está permitido hablar ni estar ahí a esa hora, solo por la ubicación es un buen lugar pero si quieres descansar, es una pésima opción.

Translated to English

Worst place to sleep is the bunk upstairs, you literally can't be sitting because it's souuuper close to the ceiling, the bathrooms were always dirty and apart from after 10pm they literally don't let you talk in the dining area, they tell you that you're not allowed to talk or be there at that time, just because of the location it's a good place but if you want to rest, it's a lousy option.

Very small cramped hostel, everything about the hostel was small so made it slightly uncomfortable, wasn’t very clean at all, location is great, mostly men in their 40s-50s staying here so wasn’t the best for me, wouldn’t stay more than 1 night

My first hostel stay. May not try a hostel again but it was an experience indeed. Except many took liberties smoking inside the room and making the room filthy. The staff were strictly enforcing policy. There was a unique smell throughout the hostel. Not sure what the smell was but it was mildly stinking.

Very chill hostel. Get what you paid for. Only thing id say I struggled with was the top bunk being so close to the ceiling… it was so hot in there and being so far up there was no ventilation drom the window

Wir haben zu viert für eine Nacht in einem 4er Zimmer geschlafen, also können wir auch nur das bewerten. Aber in dem Zimmer haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

We all four of us slept in a room of four for one night, so we can only rate that, but in that room we felt very comfortable!

Really noisy, scary roommates and staff, bad smell in the room... I was only here for one night as a urgent accomodation, glad it was a short period. This is cheap but don't go there if you want something decent.

Stayed here for nights, it worth staying as everything is nearby. Staff was helpful and had accommodated our requests. Hostel is located in a nice location, just behind the red light area. Very good hostel and would come back here. There very cheap supermarket shop Dirk (alternative to Lidl). Super cheap.

Last time I stayed here,the receptionist,Nicola, checked me in early, but this time she told me I'd have to wait until2:00 PM. Even after few hours of waiting, despite the housekeeper saying the beds were ready, Nicola told everyone,"I'll have to wait until 2:00 PM," but 15 minutes later, she finally checked everyone in. Warning: the"storage room"isn't actually a room at all,but a small space behind a door with 2shelves!

Too loud!!! It is in a street with many clubs so you heard people creaming the whole night. I couldn’t sleep. But if you don’t mind noise, it is ok for the rest.

Baños y duchas horriblemente sucios , piezas sin ventilación , la pieza estaba hedionda , la cama estaba suelta por lo tanto movía un dedo parecía que se iba a desarmar , muy estrecha , la escalera es imposible para alguien con maleta , yo con suerte subí la mochila .

Translated to English

Bathrooms and showers were horribly dirty, rooms without ventilation, the room was stinky, the bed was loose so I moved a finger it looked like it was going to be disarmed, very narrow, the stairs are impossible for someone with a suitcase, I was lucky enough to get my backpack up.
