    The elevator to the hostel was filthy with a stinking smell from it. The room was very clean. The security door was unlocked during our stay. It did not have a hostel feel to it. The noise from McDonalds on the ground floor ( moving of crates accross a concrete floor very early in the morning)...

    If you open the window, (french fries-)smell from the macdonalds restaurant came in. Rooms are quite simply furnished, but clean. 3 Persons Room is very small. No wardrobe, no pegs. Double Room was better. Very good, central location (near train station).
