Liked: Nothing to complain about. For such a small amount you get a lot. There's a bar downstairs but you can't hear the noise to the rooms. Bathrooms and showers okay. The kitchen and common area were very nice. Luggage storage and cheap breakfast. Gave us locks for the lockers which was a nice touch. Helpful, friendly staff. Good location, easy to get to the center (actually the hostel is in the center) and easy to get to the main train station.

Disliked: Jutta left no negative feedback.

Liked: Great location, great staff, great bar downstairs and the free shot is always a great way to start in a city.

Disliked: I had a few items stolen, but I think that's more a reflection of my roommates than the hostel itself.

Liked: Location and very friendly staff.

Disliked: Bed Bugs. Blocked Showers. No free breakfast despite it being advertised as free on facebook, website & hostelbookers when we made the booking. Crazily loud parties going on at 2am right next to dorm room and no member of staff on hand to quieten people/ask them to leave - this is pretty unreasonable in our opinion!
