18 January 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Zoldan, one of the owners was the funniest between all! After the breakfast (from 7 'til 11) was included an small evening meal :) Great position and clean!...especially the toilette and the kitchen

Disliked: The common area weren't enough warm. In Our room the heating wasn't properly efficient, therefore they gave us a portable heater :) to resolve the problem. The wireless connection was probably enough powerful especially while were connected a lot of laptop.

12 January 2012 Shuangling would recommend this property

Liked: It has almost other hostel can offer at quite a reasonable price. The staff is quite nice and friendly, who helped me check in at a very late hour (11pm) and informed me of all sorts of information that I should know. What is more, he kindly helped me carry my luggage to my room. The wireless network is also easy to use.

Disliked: I personally do not fancy the location of the hostel, although others may find it in a convenient place and quiet. The buildings surrounding the hostel seem a bit old.

19 December 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I liked everything, except the location. Hostel is really colourful, with great beds, which are not a real bunk beds and provide you with some private space, eventhough you are in the room with 11 other people. Amazing.

Disliked: Location. The last part of the way to the hostel (cca 250m) was deserted in the night time and a bit scary to go, but it is really a short part.

14 December 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good location not far from the bull ring shopping centre. Cosy comfy bed and plenty of plug sockets in the room.

Disliked: The showers and toilets are what you expect from a hostel, though there could be more as there was only 3 available, as one was out of order. Also no fridge in the second kitchen.

12 December 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good average hostel. Paintwork makes it look a bit different. Tube beds are a good concept.

Disliked: Bathrooms could be better / bigger.

09 December 2011 Rachael would recommend this property

Liked: The living room area is so cosy and lovely, big open fire, tv, books, dvds, big sofas, etc. The guy who runs it was really nice and welcoming when I arrived. Free breakfast was fab, toast, cereal and fresh fruit. Bedrooms were a decent size with big lockers under the beds to store stuff and the doors had keycode locks so felt safe, plus the beds had curtains so had privacy when I was sleeping. Great hostel, highly recommend! :)

Disliked: The beds were a bit claustrophobic because of their design.

03 December 2011

Liked: Fireplace? the guy in the reception helped me with the luggage.

Disliked: All. I'm really happy to go away! The place in ugly and looks strage, the rooms stink of rancid milk, there is just one shower on the first floor (where the rooms are) and two on the ground floor just available for two hours in the morning. The common room looks confortable, but is full of english party people, cold far from the fireplace, dark near it. The breakfast is poor (ni milk and cereals, just toasts). The hostel is located in a very unsafe part of the city, scary landscape. The guy in the bed above mine is probably possessed!
