“Unconfotable and dirty”

The bed was terrible, the cover was disgusting and full od stains, there was a lot of dirt on the floor (I even saw a dirty thong next to my bed!!)
The only thing I liked is that the hostel is really close to the center and that the the two girls from reception were really nice.

The matress was really thin, I could feel a metal bar under it. The shower rooms where in an upper level and maybe too few bathrooms. And also no plugs in the top bunkbeds.
The location is amazing! Is right next to old town and the historic centre. Is has good showers, and good storage space. Also it was good that the rooms where not overcrowded with people, although the could’ve had more beds in each room.

“Great location, too many locks”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 4 nights
The female dorm was completely separate from the bathrooms. You need to leave, cross a hall, and unlock a door to the common space/rooms. Then do it again when going back to room. This was extremely annoying for two reasons: (1) most of the time, the hall way light wouldn't go on. So middle of the night, you better bring your phone as a flashlight (once I forgot but luckily when I knocked there was someone in the kitchen that let me in; (2) female dorm got 4 keys with only one having anything on it to help on what door it goes to. Two of the keys are exactly the same. Sometimes I would have to try the same 3 keys twice until I got it. They could at least mark them in someway to make it clearer as the checkin woman told me sometimes she gets them confused too. Lastly, they lock reception door, even if there is someone (or TWO!) at the desk working. I already told you about the keys. Why the heck to they keep it locked when someone is there? Also, blood on mattresses. I'm a girl, I understand, but don't want to see it. Need to put sheets or something around the top mattresses so you can't see from the bottom.
The room was huge with plenty of space of space to move around and pack. Location is amazingly close to old town square which is what I wanted for the Christmas markets. Checkin blonde lady was very very nice. I had emailed a few days before asking about easiest public transport to place since I have just injured my knee. Quick response but when I gave my name at arrival she had remembered me and worked with me on my injury (had to have 1 night top bunk but she moved me to a bottom bunk the other 3 nights, no extra charge), she even wrote a note for staff the next day. There is an elevator, small, but usually not busy.

The reception is only open at certain times, which makes it a bit difficult if you're arriving/leaving at awkward times.
The breakfast coupon for the cafe just down the road is awesome - the cafe does amazing food and coffee! The beds are super comfy as well. They also have lifts so you don't have to lug your luggage up/down stairs!
