Liked: Old town hostel is very centrally located, it is close to all the things you need to see and only by a 2 min walk from the bridge of lies. It is really easy to find from the Train station which is 15 min walk away. The hostel is very nice, it has all the things you need and the staff is very helpful with whatever you need, miss or want.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Location. Information center right across the road

Disliked: Very very cold, -10 degrees outside and the heating was minimal inside. Kitchen facilities are bare, it was fine because I was the only one staying there but theres only 1 spoon, 1 knife, no pans..good luck cooking! No internet, unless the staff reluctantly get off facebook. Luckily the information center is across the road, so you don't have to deal with the unhelpful staff too much. Get a taxi from the bus stop - a lot of buses don't actually stop at the bus station, meaning you're on the complete opposite side of town.

Liked: Location was fantastic and the staff were friendly

Disliked: The staff smoke on the closed in stairs out the front of the hostel, not only does this stink out the stairs but the smell also wafts into the first dorm room which isnt pleasant. Staff also use stove inside the hostel to light cigarettes before going outside to smoke them despite all the no smoking signs around the place.

Liked: it's tidy.....and it has great view from the windows...the location is very convenient for travelling in the old town...if you want to travel something or eat something cheap and nice, just ask the staff......they don't have breakfast but you can buy something and make in the kitchen....but i went to the cafe which has contract with this hostel,,,it has orange juice, coffee, omlette and toast ,,,costs about 10lei..it's also okay !!!!!the people lived there are also very nice~~~

Disliked: it's on the second floor..it's easy to get to the pica mica*the little square",...but the gate of the hostel is near the pharmacy museum....then it'll become clearer

Liked: Friendly and helpful staff, cable TV with a whole bunch of international channels, kitchen.

Disliked: Dorms are way larger than 6 beds as depicted here (in fact, as I recall, they have 12 beds). Two showers were somewhat below average.

Liked: The location is amazing! I would probably pay double just because the location is so good. The showers and such were probbaly below average but the location made up for it. Totally fantastic. Also, one of the reception people was particularly helpful and just a really cool guy. Vassi, I think his name was. Very welcoming.

Liked: Front desk staff rocks. You can do your laundry for free. The location is amazing. If you want to party it's a great location because you can go out and then stumble home. The only downside is that the bathroom walls have mold and the internet is extremely slow.
