27 July 2011

Liked: This accomodation was oké. I've stay in much better hostels. The staff was very rude when we asked something about THE wifi. His answer was to get another hostel. The room looked like à childrens hospital.

Disliked: See previous

26 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel was well organised and in a good location in order to visit the city centre. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was very good. This hostel is a good option if you are only staying a night or two and do not plan being there that much.

Disliked: This hostel was so large that it was impossible to meet people. If you are after a social atmosphere and nice surroundings this probably is not the place for you. It is far more like a hotel than a hostel in that respect. Also staying on the top floor was like being in a horror movie! It was dark, quiet and echoed. The blinds were also on the outside of the windows so you could not close them.

Liked: We liked the location, the breakfast and the atmosphere. Very short walk from the train station - about 10-15 minutes. Only 10 mintues from city center. The free internet was AWESOME!

23 July 2011

Liked: wifi

Disliked: dirty a bit, no lights on 5-th floor.

22 July 2011

Liked: Not much, decent breakfast, but had to pay 3euros for it!

Disliked: Moved us out of our room and took 40mins to find another one after giving us 2 wrong keys to dorms people were in!!! Pushed us to the side and was a great lack of disorganisation

18 July 2011 tiziana would recommend this property

Liked: The hotel structure was nice and the shared bathroom were clean. It is located only 15 minutes away from the city centre. Free internet a big plus.

Disliked: the blankets were not very clean and we had VERY noisy neighbours!! They went back to the hotel very late at night. They were drunk, so we heard them shouting, vomiting and putting loud music in the bathroom which was just in front of our room. We could not sleep because of that :(

11 July 2011 Ida would recommend this property

Liked: You get what you pay for, normally a student home which shows. But nice staff and cheap breakfast (again you get what you pay for, but it was fine)

Disliked: Nothing, it was as expected.

07 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: it was so cheap! the staff was really friendly and I had the best breakfast ever there - for €3 you can pretty much eat as much as you like, and there's a lot of variety. Totally worth it The rooms were ok, nothing special, but good enough to sleep in - no complaints. Although it was big, it was quiet. Lot's of computers in different floors (no need to pay to use them), and there were showers in number enough not to get crowded in the morning

Disliked: It was still a bit to walk from the city center - not that far away, I would say about 15m, but when you go out at night alone it's a turn off. Other hostels were right in the bars district It lacked character. It is a school, so it's huge, and it's not easy to meet new people if you are traveling alone, such as myself. But I met people when wandering in the streets!

01 July 2011

Liked: It's close to city center and staff are friendly and helpful.

Disliked: it's a long walk to the bus and train station. Very tiring if you are carrying heavy bags. Our walk took about 30 mins. It was quite noisy in the morning as the room is not sound proof.

30 June 2011

Liked: It was quite central and cheap.

Disliked: its a pretty souless spot, apparently the dorms were booked out but it was eerily quiet, pretty run down in places, and though there were two kitchens on every floor there was hardly any equipment in any of them: ended up eating from the saucepan!

28 June 2011 Nicole would recommend this property

Liked: It was really cheap! That staff were reasonably helpful. there were free computers to use which was great.

Disliked: Definitely get what you pay for, the showers weren´t always that clean and the room on the top floor was really hot.

03 November 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was really cheap. It was open 24h a day (even for check-in). Internet for free.

Disliked: Getting to the area itself was easy, but there were plenty of students' residences, so it was difficult to find it late at night. There were no sheets (lucky I had my sleeping bag).

06 October 2010

Liked: It was pretty quiet but that's about all there was good about it!

Disliked: The rooms were hot and there was only one key between all 6 people in the room. The toilets and showers weren't clean and there was building work goign on the whole time we were there.
