Liked: Not much quite frankly.
Disliked: If I pay to use a hostel, then I deserve the right to utilise all the services the hostel claims to offer. I was refused some of the services the hostel claimed to offer and therefore I cannot recommend it to others.

Liked: Only the close location to sights.
Disliked: They said they have some kind of problem with bookings so they moved me to some other hostel which is already closed! Therefore, there was only me in the place and it was a really scary place with some gipsies living in the building. Also, the place was on top and there was a construction on the roof. They started making huge noises at 7 AM! so I could only sleep for 1hour as I was out partying. Not the mention that the place and sheets were dirty and bugs were all over the place.

Romantic getaway
27 July 2010
Liked: Interesting tiled heating stoves in the bedrooms.
Disliked: Everything else. Poor customer service, uninterested proprietor, mismanaged booking and then even cocked up our relocation. After 12 hours on a sleeper from istanbul this was the last thing we needed. Don't bother with this hole.
