Liked: The owner Geny was very friendly and helpful, and the location was the best in the city.

Disliked: Faces a loud street, so it can be a bit noisy. But it quiets down after midnight, not a big deal.

Liked: Great location, clean facilities, and generally great value for the money. Staff was very helpful and personal.

Disliked: The owner, while very helpful, became very loud each morning around 10am for sustained periods, making it very difficult to sleep in. It seemed as though she was having heated conversations on the phone with people.

27 August 2009

Liked: Very good location, right in the city centre, close to metro stations. Very dirty though, dark and with bugs. Not really safe, the lock to the hostel was nearly destroyed as if somebody was trying to get into place without a key. The bathroom wasn't nice either. I wouldn't have stayed there but for the good reviews on the net.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
