In the bedroom, under the bed was a lot of dust. The bathroom wasn't clean, I don't think they have cleaned it at all the 3,5 days I was there. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. The location was good, nearby the centre of the town. And I felt save with all the locks on the doors.

A good value. Would be happy to go there again- if only the artwork on display did not seem so dedicated to nudity. It is not what my eyes need! Otherwise, very pleasant.

Really helpful and nice staff! And the hostel was really close to the center. A little noisy during the night because of the thin walls.

We had a double room next to the reception. For the first time it seemed very strange to go everytime to the bathroom just in front of the reception, but in the end it didn't matter.

For the first time it seemed very strange to go everytime to the bathroom just in front of the reception, but in the end it didn't matter. The staff was very kind and helpful. I admire them that only one person was there whole day from early morning till late at night. Briefly everything was great. I enjoyed the stay. Pity that it rained so much. But that's October. :-) Thank you! I would come back.close

Was difficult to rate the cleaniness due to the fact that overall the place looked clean including the (common)rooms and halls but shower and WC were less clean. But not such a big deal. Staff was very helpful and friendly too!!!close

Very easy to find despite the fact the post office used in their directions was recently knocked down. Old Town is fantastic but the trade off is it is touristy. I liked staying a bit out of it. Pub near by is local and cheap. Very clean, nice breakfast, sauna. Would stay there again.

I kept waiting for the moment when something would go wrong and i would say "oh, so that's why it was nine bucks" but that moment never came. One of the best places i've stayed, if not the best and the price is next to free.
