Everything was just as described on the listing, so I didn't have very high expectations. I stayed for only one night so it was alright, but the bathrooms are quite bad. Nowhere to put your clothes while you shower, only the floor. The kitchen was alright but everybody left their dirty dishes in the sinks. The plugs by the beds are not the best either and some privacy curtains would have been a nice addition. Overall it was alright for just one night, but I wouldn't stay there for longer than th...

Some good points (generally clean - though not self catering kitchen, staff generally helpful, beds comfortable etc) but some points not good including poorly equipped self catering kitchen, lack of accessible hanger space in room, poor state of inside of bathroom door and some things which have got worse since previous visit less than 12 months before (loss of separate TV room, substantial increase in charge for en-suite room up by over 35% against November '25)

Die Unterkunft war sauber und ordentlich und das Personal war nett und hilfsbereit. Es war toll, dass man. dort kostenlos parken konnte. Die Küche war leider sehr karg und viel war kaputt. Das Viertel um das Hostel herum war sehr herunter gekommen.

Good room. toilets were not. For the toilets at my room, it didn’t have a sink, the sink was in the room. No hand wash either. Showers were not clean either. Room was clean though! I just had to use the toilets further from my room because they were more convenient. Rating security as neutral as although i only stayed one night, when i was checking in, a customer was reporting stolen items - so not too sure about security. Staff were great! Ok stay for a weekend trip if ur not picky x

This hostel is okay apart from the bathroom and access card to the room was so bad every time it will disconnect the access and I was struck 2 times outside in the middle of the night.

The website stated there was bicycle storage but when we asked on arrival the receptionist seemed confused. Eventually she allowed us to store our bikes in the left luggage room and agreed she wouldn't need to charge us. The room was ok. Kitchen not very well equipped and dirty.

NOT value for money, but value for location. Reasons: needs freshened up. Broken door stops in bathrooms can see the soap build up, leaking sinks are okay as in a wet room, but could be an easy fix. Doors not sealed so can see all the water damage to the door. Linen is clean, but been washed that often colours are very faded, so dates it. But WOULD stay again. As feel staff aware and working on it. Great location, great vibe, staff fantastic - knowledgeable of area/recommendations. Cafe good £.

Overall a very pleasant experience, room was clean and staff were great. Toilets could do with a deep clean and a new coat of paint but were more than usable.

Tutto ottimo dalla pulizia alla cortesia dello staff, tra cui una ragazza parlava perfettamente italiano. Possibilità di fare un tour presso il selciato del gigante molto conveniente con agenzia difronte all’ostello.

We paid roughly 220 for a private double room for 3 nights fri - sun, and it was a v small room, just bunk beds, 2 lockers not overly clean inside and a sink with a shelf above. Very basic and would have expected a little more from the photos. There is very little soundproofing, you can hear everyone around you walking, talking, opening doors. If you are in the road side which we were it is very loud all night, we struggled to sleep. The location is good but, overall a little disappointed.

The room was bit smelly, not really a place to socialize with others. They keep it clean. Worth for the money and is close to the center/bus station.

our private room was clean - except for mould on the bathroom door, thats probably because the shower isn't separated from the rest of the bathroom meaning that the whole bathroom gets wet once you turn on the shower, the staff was really friendly, the kitchen was clean, the hostel was really quiet (we travelled in February), the heating only works at particular times of the day so we felt rather cold inside and we couldn't take a hot shower the water also felt cold, ok for 1-2 nights
