The Personal was very friendly and helpful. The Kitchen Had everything you need and they supplied you with (good) Coffee and Tea. Not the best Hostel to socialise, more a quiet chilled Place. But in total quite nice

The hostel is fine, check in is completely digital, and there is no real social atmosphere going on. The room was decent, beds were old and squeaky and there was no privacy curtain. The location is great however

Fantástico!! Han pensado en cada detalle, hay indicaciones claras en todo momento. Destaco la amabilidad y diligencia del propietario. Todo es fácil y práctico en este sitio. Pude dejar mi maleta mucho antes del check in y beber una excelente taza de café.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft! Das Gebäude ist schön, sauber und hat einen sehr heimeligen Vibe. Das Personal ist auch sehr nett und die Lage in einer schönen ruhigen Gegend im Zentrum. Die Betten quietschen leider sehr laut bei jeder Bewegung, was beim Schlafen stört.

Loved my stay at Retro - staff are only around for the morning, but were very friendly and helpful. I stayed in a private single room with shared bathroom - excellent shower! The only things I would change were the door code system - it wasn't clear that each person got their own code (I think!) so having the same one for the front door and bedroom made me feel a bit unsettled as a woman staying alone. It would also be nice to have a towel for drying plates in the kitchen.

+ Zona

- Faptul ca nu a fost clarificat de la început detalii, ca pot veni și fete în camera. Ca dulapurile nu au lacăt, ca mirosea și neplăcut. Prețul prea mare la ce oferea! În dimineața zilei de sâmbătă am părăsit locația și am mers la Casa Pasteur, unde am plătit 160 de lei pe noapte, cu condiții impecabile. Dacă rămâneam la prima cazare, nu aveam aceleași condiții. Gazda a fost foarte iritata când mi- am cerut dreptul de a-mi recupera banii pentru o noapte nepetrecuta la ei. Acolo nu merita sa meargă nimeni!!!

Cet établissement n'est pas vraiment un hostel, mais plutôt un regroupement de chambres types Airbnb : il n'y a pas de service d'accueil fonctionnel, la personne qui active notre code d'entrée se trouve à distance et ne peut être jointe que par téléphone et uniquement langue roumaine. La femme de ménage a essayé de nous aider mais elle n'avait pas le pouvoir de générer un code elle-même. Ceci n'est pas un service digne. Juste du business sans les qualités minimum d'accueil. A évite...

+ All the spaces were very clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere in the hostel was really pleasant and relaxing. The staff were incredibly polite, helpful, and welcoming. The location is very central, with plenty of options for food and coffee just a few minutes away. The host welcomed me with a coffee, which instantly made me feel at home. I would definitely choose to stay there again.

+ Rooms were not cleaned, brushed or moped for weeks (at least this was the look. A lot of dust and unclean areas, the bathrooms upstairs unclean.

- The location, the openness of the staff when they were present .

+ Very nice people, they let me store my luggage there during the day for no extra payment. They brought my phone when i forgot it in the room and they offered me coffee. Although small, very nice to have the shower and bathroom, inside the room.

- Would be good to know if you have a very heavy troller like a did, to avoid the rooms at the last floor. Also, for a tall person i felt a bit claustrophobic, but over all a very ingenious way of fitting all amenities in one small space.

There are no lockers for your stuff… there’s also no curtains on the beds. there’s also not really a common room to hang out in. it’s very so-so. overall, it was fine, but i probably wouldn’t stay there again
