    I loved the location, we couldn't have been closer to the city center. We didn't use the kitchen, so I can't say, but the room was clean and nice and I would say safe too. Be sure to bring your slippers! The bathroom is far from some rooms and you don't want to walk barefoot (like I did). I also appreciate the late check-in possibility.

    Just had an incident about having having something stolen from the fridge. But I contacted the reception and they were very supportive.

    I liked everything about the property. The rooms are spacious and very neat. The staff are friendly. And it’s in a very good location.

    - like others already mentioned, female bathrooms give you a little privacy. I peeked into male showers and I think their system is better (with shower curtains) - water was sometimes on a colder side, but when I took a shower earlier during a day, it was ok.

    - locality is amazing (in the heart of the old town) - price - it's nice to find hostels where price is still reasonable - friendly girls in my room, everyone was so polite - the lady owner was super helpful, when I was in trouble - bed was more comfortable than it seemed at first, I slept very well there - the common room is really nice with all those plants - free coffee and tea

    cleaning should be done more frequently. The food I put in the kitchen cabinet was stolen. :(

    Location is perfect. Transportation was very easy and we found ourselves in the center of touristic places. Everything you are looking for is within walking distance.

    I just didn’t like that you have to call the reception after midnight to let us know in the building. There should be a code for self entry or key or another way.

    Not the fault of the hostel per se but one roommate was upset about the noise the door lock made and yelled at me to just leave it open (early evening and everyone was awake or out, so not disturbing anyone). I was uncomfortable with that as I didn't know everyone else's feelings on having the door unlocked, it could be a safety concern for some. A few shower heads were in boor repair and the shower seemed poorly cleaned/mildewy. The toilets did not all have paper either.

    The hostel is located very close to the main square and very easy to get to. The hostel was very warm and well heated, free wifi, the kitchen and common area were well outfitted. there were working lockers in the room and my all female room was very spacious and included linens.

    - the shower could have been more private, cleaner and should have had a lock in the door, instead it was just door (not locked) and small piece of wood as another door in the shower but it was really small and had a wide see through part in it

    - extremely nice staff - location - the room temperature was nice - common area kitchens had many choices of tea and coffee - free towels - low price - clean rooms

    1The women's bathroom is too cold 2 the distance between the two beds is too small to sit on because your head will hit the bed above, and there are not enough chairs in the room 3 The charging device is a bit far from the bed 4and there is no light near the bed

    The room is very large
