Liked: We slept at the Pension, not in the hostel. The atmosphere of ancient times catches you as soon as you enter the courtyard. Moreover the room we slept in was really cozy. Really confortable pillows and big shower. Very slow price!

Disliked: In the bedroom we found covers and duvet covers, but not real blankets on the matrasses. The reception works only after 11am, so if you want to leave before 11am, you must tell the owner in advance.

Liked: The stuff members are really friendly. It's a clean hostel.

Disliked: The location is good but the road reach to the hostel is not so easy. Because it's typical stone road in the town. Really bad for my suitcase rolls.

Liked: Great location in the heart of the old town just next to the only grocery store in the the center. The kitchen is very well equipt.

Disliked: There is no staff during the night so I would not like to have any emergency situation in that hostel. Shared dormitory is really tiny.

Liked: amazing value, comfortable bed, amazing location, really nice staff, reliable free wifi.

Disliked: shower has very weak pressure, sensor lights go off too soon in the bathroom (while you're still sitting on the toilet!) - these probably need to be adjusted.

Liked: Nothing like! This hostel is very dirty, room small and with poor service and facilities so is NOT recommended.

Disliked: The room is very dirty, small, and with many insect bite us at night! The staff is not helpful and the old man just left our passport unattended after passing to him. The open toilet and bathroom is also small, dirty and the light will turn off suddenly when you are bathing!

Liked: It was in a great location, so close to the main square and right on the river. Our room was like an attic, very cosy and cute, quite nice!

Disliked: The bathrooms were filthy and the kitchens were tiny. There weren't enough toilets or showers for the amount of people they could accommodate. Staff weren't there all the time. The woman who booked me in was incredibly rude when I checked in and it only got worse. Rude is an understatement actually.
