“ The staff was not very helpful with directions, the room was dirty and the elevator barely worked. They need to offer fewer people in a room too. ”

“ Breakfast is very supervised. You can't serve yourself, a member of staff does it all. Kitchen was tiny and only had a single stove element. Not many pans/pots. No knives. Rooms were very crampy and very hot. Lockers are good. Needs more power points (only 1 in room). ”

“ One of the worst Hostel I went in during my travel. The rooms are packed with beds, and their aeration is poor. The kitchen is small and bad furbished. Their is a common room which looks more like train station waiting area than an actual living room. ”

“ Thoroughly enjoyed the bar/lounge area, great place to meet people and hang out. Beds are a lil squeaky and if you sleep light you´ll be able to account for everyone who comes in late from the 10 story discoteca that is near by. That aside, nice place, nice atmosphere, worth a go. ”

“ Very small, under stocked kitchen. The one common area where meals are to be eaten is also the smoking room and internet room. The roof leaked water on my bed. Very small breakfast. Girls showers always cold. Otherwise ok. ”

“ The Mad Hostek is probably the best hostel that I've ever been, the security is incredible, the key system is perfect...but I had problems with the shower. The water simply got cold in one moment and I was alone =/ I strongly recommend! ”

“ A reasonably new yet rundown place with impossibly small dormrooms. The internet doesn't work during busy periods and the neither does the electronic door locking system for the most part. Lots of very young folk having a ball though, going out to party etc. ”
