Liked: It is located in the inner city - that is perfect! friendly and helpful personal and 24 h reception - great!! the refrigerator is checked every day so that you can be sure your fresh food does not lie next to seedy food.

Disliked: the equipment really needs to be improved at some ponits. which could be easily done - for example in every ladies toilet there should be more clothes hooks and maybe little boxes at the walls to put all the stuff in it while taking a shower! another thing is that there has to be another refrigerator! 2 refrigerator for so many people, that is precious little.

Liked: This is one of the best hostels i have ever stayed in. They let me check in at 11am which was great because I got to shower and have a rest after my flight. There are computers with fast internet access that you can use anytime for free. There is free breakfast from 6am-12pm which is absolutely great. I could not speak more highly of this place.

Disliked: Nothing to complain about
