    Nothing exciting here but a nice bigger room. Shower and W/C down the hall. Breakfast was okay, not much substance. PS: We went in May and it was +++++WINDY, thus very cold.

    A NIGHTMARE, AVOID THIS PLACE. The boss is insolently rude, drove us at 100 km/h downtown -without looking the road- to a gloomy flat in a suburb area (not what we booked) where we found some bogeys and holes on the blankets. He insulted my wife and threatened me with death when I noticed this to... more

    They manager is late, rude, and feels as though he is doing you a favor in renting you a room. But, that's the last I had to deal with him. The rooms are basic but, comfortable for me.

    The dorms are just beds in a big top floor room, separated by cubicles. No lock to get in the building or the dorm room. Showers downstairs. All the tap water reeks of sulfur. Breakfast is surprisingly good.

    The manager is rude; argues with his staff infront of you and treats you like an unwelcomed guest. Only posiitive is breakfast is included in the price, even though hygeine is a question.

Otherwise I had a single room which was away from the main building and in a poor location. The fair price is... more

    The apartment guesthouse is nice, about a block away from the hostel part, where you have to walk for breakfast everyday. He put us in there because we stayed 3 nights. The hostel part didn't look nearly as good.

    Terrific location for the price. Rooms are nice and clean, my only complaint would be noise, like most hostel/budget hotels there is alot of hall noise, and this time our room was next to the kitchen/common area so early morning noise was a problem. But I have stayed before on a different floor...

    The hostel was great and the facilities were sufficient. My only comment would be the thin walls. Which can provide some discomfort on late nights when people come back from the bar, or early mornings when people are having breakfast.

    Actually it is one floor in regular building transformed into budget hotel with several rooms all of them sharing just two bathrooms/WC. Very small kitchen for breakfast only, no reception and that's all. There is no fun, I can recomend just for short (one night) stay.

    Lovely breakfast, if not for the charming table sets and the nurishing breakfast food I would not go back or recomend a stay here. It was rather expensive for the dark and dingy dormatory.
