Liked: I was only there one night so I didn't really get much of a feel for the hostel but it seemed a decent place. The dorm was clean and well heated.

Disliked: Only criticism is that there were only four lockers in the dorm for eight people.

Liked: It's a nice place, fun and full of nice people. It's well located and they have useful places around. Nice environment.

Disliked: The hostel is really nice. The two problems are the kitchen, that is in the room and every time we want to use it we have to borrow the saucepan, plates, etc. from the staff. They are very nice, but always busy and we have to keep waiting a long time sometimes to get what we need from them. The other is the bathroom that doesn't have a division for the shower space and it gets really wet and dirty easily.

Family Holiday

12 November 2010

Liked: Nice near a promenade along the small river that rans throug town.A well functioning fire alarm, although 5:30 am was a bit early to wake up. Not very close, but still walking distance downtown. Local trafic just outside the entrance.

Disliked: The unfriendly, uninterested staff (which were most of them working these days). The mold. No cosiness what so ever. You almost felt you shouldn't sit in the lounge, although there were some sits. Blind corridors like you were living in a basement. No easy way to make own meals and no cutlery, bowls, plates, glases or pans. The high price compared to what was offered (nothing imcluded, no sheets, no towls, no breakfast, no nothing and still much more expensive compared to other hostels we've stayed at.)

Liked: Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Toilets in room were dirty, without a rubbish bin. Kitchen was in the room (a small one and a fridge). Having a fridge is really good, but not a kitchen! You cannot cook when the others are sleeping!! We needed to evacuate the building because fire alarm sounded at 1 am and then again at 4 am, and I heard that the same happened the day before...

Liked: Nice common area, with free wifi, TV, bar.. Location is also not too bad, about 5-10 mins walk from the train station. Very good facility for cooking.

Disliked: Stayed in 8 person dorm, room was not very clean, and bathroom was rather dirty. It's ok if you're only staying for one night..
