Liked: good location, price

Disliked: furnishing of the room was really basic... 3 beds, 3 lamps, 2 chairs and wardrobe... thats all. There was lot of space in the room, so the table could be there.

Liked: the location is good. most of sights are like around the corner.

Disliked: first, there's no sign to show that hostel is in a building, was a bit hard to find. no reception, and the only person who works there is a cleaner who comes only in the morning and does not speak english. first two days we didn't have any hot water! the room was small, and the walls are kinda dirty...and it is not possible to open the window (no view - it's a skylight), because if you do it, the vapor from all other apartments start to smell...and as there were two of us, we had only one key, which was a problem.

Liked: The staff was very friendly.

Disliked: The bathroom and shower were tough to take. The water was freezing and made for a rough start to the day. This was my only real complaint, but a good shower means a lot to me.

Liked: It's very close to the center and metro .Nice fully equipped kitchen and clean bathrooms.

Disliked: There is no reception so if you have any problems it's quite difficull to get in touch with the staff. The walls are very thin, so you need to have your earplugs with you especially if you have noisy neighbours. And our towels weren't changed for 6 days of our stay there.

Liked: Almost everything was perfect; clean rooms, bathrooms and kitchen, nice facilities and helpful owner.

Disliked: The noise of the traffic and in particular the metro during the night; but this might also be because we had a room with view on the road.
