Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The Hostel Faust is in a central location, quietly tucked away from the main street through an archway. Me and my brother shared a twin room within an apartment comprising of two twin rooms, a kitchen and bathroom. Ideal for a family of four. We didn't see the other occupants in the two days we were there. Clean, tidy, toilet paper and towels were in regular supply.
United KingdomLocation is superb. Step out of the hostel and you are practically on the main square. Locks are electronic and you can't lose the keys anymore. It is quite cheap for what you get.
SwitzerlandAs always what can I say that I haven't already said in previous reviews, basically it is the most perfect place for a person or several people to stay, unbelievable value for money, perfect location, spotless clean, comfortable room and bed, superb bathroom and shower, staff are very helpful and friendly, lovely bar and kitchen downstairs, smoking area patios on each level, I mean what else does a person need? You can travel on a budget but not feel cheap. Love the place. Will be back as usual.
IrelandVery comfortable, warm heaters, working very well in the room and the toilets. I really recommend it!
IrelandVery easy to book online. Well located. Clean. Decent price.
PolandVery good location, very clean, comfortable bedroom and the facility with double door codes looks very safe. Only pick this accommodation when you want to be right in the middle of a city center!
Netherlands2 minute walk into the main square. Very clean and quiet when we stayed. Very warm rooms. Radiator was hot and warmed the room during the evening. Toasty at night time. Clean towels provided. Really cheap to stay and definitely recommend!
United KingdomExcellent location. Hostel located right at the old town so you don't need to use taxi or public transports to get to the old town. It also can be nice option to stay if you was walking at old town too long: one night here is cheaper then taxi if you lost your time like I did =) Employees were very kind, I checked in at 9 p.m. and checked out at 6 a.m. and got no problems with it. Room was clean and beds were fresh
UkraineNice friendly staff. Amazing and perfect location.
United KingdomReception and staff is great and they are trying to solve issues and help.
