Liked: Good location

Disliked: I booked at the last possible moment.. so it was definitely a ripoff for 60 euros a night.. the toilets in each floor stank! and there s only one toilet for around 25 people. definitely not worth it if u re booking last moment! if u re booking for a place to crash for the night, close to the main sights, then go to this place.

Liked: It was in a great location and it was very easy to get to all the major attractions in the city. There are also many excellent restaurants around the hostel. The front desk was very helpful and breakfast was simple but good (toast with butter, jelly, peanut butter, coffee, juice, and hard boiled eggs.)

Disliked: The bathrooms smelled bad and there was only one shower and one toilet (separate) for at least 10 people on the floor.

Liked: It was very close to most things, the staff were friendly

Disliked: A little hard to find at first, also although it says there is a kitchen the kitchen only consists of a couple hotplates, a microwave (which was broken), a toaster and a kettle. No stove. It is also in a bit of a noisy neighborhood so you might want to bring headphones.

Liked: Location.

Disliked: It has no elevator... so if you have any luggage it is very though to get to other floors. The toilets are REALLY tiny and not really clean. The bathroom is very bad, really small and don´t have basic facilities to make your life easier.

Liked: Had great places to eat all around us and the guy behind the desk was completely helpful.

Disliked: The coffeeshops are a little out the way but it can easily be walked and you pass every food outlet along the way to ease the pain. Rooms are pretty bland, but that isn't too important when you spend most of your time out and about.

Liked: No upside - perhaps location but the downsides almost negate that benefit

Disliked: The room was literally like a prison cell - except it had 6 inmates. The room worked out at 300 Euro a night, I wouldn't have paid 100 for it. Far too small for the number of people we had in it. 6 people in a room where there was MAX room for 4 (even that would have been insulting for the price of 50 EURO a head a night)

Liked: Staff was very helpful and happy to do so. Great location for nightlife and coffee shops, also close to tram stop. Good place if your a college kid looking to get wasted! but it not...... dont go there, you will be uncomfortably dirty your entire visit!

Disliked: Breakfast looked really bad. We did not want it! Room was absolutely tiny! Bathroom was a giant toilet! There was piss everywhere and it was incredibly small and without soap. Shower was too gross to use!
