Liked: Not much
Disliked: This hostel is one of these new hostels that has removed the kitchen In favour of an overpriced bar. Reception staff were mostly rude and unfriendly apart from a woman (possibly the owner). I asked for some hot water from the bar and was told I should be charged (?!) And then received some rude jokes about Asian people. They kept putting me in the wrong bed and then my keycard failed to work. All in all an overpriced headache

Liked: Very welcoming, cosy
Disliked: Credit card was charged for the first night prior to my arrival without even ascertaining if I had arrived. I would have preferred to pay on the spot in Euros so as to avoid the surcharge imposed by my bank. No wifi in the rooms. Also, although clean, the shower-room could get flooded without being able to drain off.

Liked: Great location located right near the train station. The people on the desk were always helpful, especially the chick that did the night shift. Pretty clean, I liked that there were no bunk beds. Free padlocks for lockers with deposit. Easy laundry facilities.
Disliked: Whole bathroom area smelt like a urinal because of the proximity between the showers and the urinal (and the female type toilet as well). Place was full of creepy old men rather than the young backpacker crowd so don't go here if you want good atmosphere or to make friends as a solo traveller. Wifi only worked in the lobby.
