4/10 Fair

very expensive for a hostel. not worth it.
Decent location, less than 20 minute walk to the train station. I stayed on the second floor, in a single room and there must have been at least 10 rooms on the same floor. Based on the people I've seen, there must have been some rooms that had multiple beds. That said, I was surprised that there was only one shared bathroom with just one toilet and one shower. The night started out quiet. It was a Saturday so naturally people were partying, and started rolling into the hostel around 2-3am, being pretty loud, which is expected for a hostel. As my room was beside the bathroom, I quickly learned how thin the walls were. Some of the young kids were super drunk, stomping back and forth between the bathroom and their room, talking loudly. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn't and eventually got up to use the bathroom. One guy was passed out, so I had to go use the main lobby bathroom. I told the person at reception, and he went right away to check on the guy in the bathroom and told the guys to quiet down, which they did eventually. In the morning when I checked out, I told the receptionist that there was vomit in the shower and toilet, and she didn't seem to care. If I had paid $50 for the room, I'd shrug it off, but this came to $150 (about 82 GBP) a night which was totally not worth it. Single rooms should be separated from the mixed dorm rooms, perhaps on a different floor

Cheaper and cleaner hostels elsewhere
We booked a loft room. It looks beautiful on first impressions, good sized bed and nice furniture. However, the room is right next to a railway line which starts early in the morning, cleanliness wasn’t the best (bathroom floor not brushed/hoovered and crumbs all over the furniture), no toaster, paint all flaking away, holes in walls that need attention, only one lumpy pillow each, portable heaters as no radiators, no tv for a private room, attention to detail needed especially for the price point for a private room.

Great atmosphere
The room is just as stated when ordering. The beds are comfy and while my stay was for a night and booked because the price was affordable i enjoyed the atmosphere and friendliness of staff. I would book again .

Half and half
Pros- cheap / I really like the modern/loft style decor in the entrance and hallways, didn’t have to wait to use bathroom, good central location and not too far from station Cons- toilet didn’t flush, shower was cold (and the heat regulating dial had broken off), shampoo barely lathered up at all, teeny weeny bin

The guy when I checked in wasn't particularly welcoming, and there were stains on the quilt and the bathroom floor was pretty grubby.

6/10 Good

Good communication immediately after booking, updates and reminders via WhatsApp. Friendly staff. Interesting old buildings with lots of original features. 24/7 front desk, small shop area for drinks and snacks. Communal kitchen area was a good size. Communal living room also a good size. Small balcony to sit out and see the city. Room was small but this was made clear. Towels were included in our room booking, however when I checked in on line the rules stated towels had to be paid for, so I purchased an additional towel. When we checked in the desk staff member was not aware our room price included towels. Facilities stated hair dryer, however this has to be borrowed from front desk, not available in room. The shared bathroom stated shared by no more than 4 rooms, however the 2 shared bathrooms on our floor only had 1 properly functioning shower between at least 10 rooms. Bathrooms were not very clean and due to a poorly flushing toilet I had to clean away other people's mess twice. Optional add on Breakfast was good.When we tried to access the free WiFi there was consistently a message advising it might not be secure. General decor was tired with signs of damp. A nice ambience, a reasonable price, but on balance probably would not book again due to poor bathroom facilities.

The staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location close to the city centre, as well as a tram stop close by. Overall, a great value for the price and a great hostel.

You definitely get what u pay for
After 10hours travelling and already checked in online, I was told they needed proof it was me when i arrived, after i said just refund my money and ill find somewhere else, the attitude changed! I got our keycard and followed the maze of steps to the room, opened the door and entered a cell with undecorated walls I mean no plaster, bricks showing, lovely shower room though, dirty towels and mirror and floor, sat on bed it was ok, no tv! No glasses for drinking out of either. Wont be back

Nice hostel, great that the single room with shared bathroom was affordable. Unfortunately the wifi was down for most of my stay which was a bit annoying. And my room was about 10 fire doors and 100m away from the bathroom. But otherwise good location and friendly staff.
