Very nice, small and clean hostel in a great location. Super newly equipped kitchen, there is even a dishwasher. The hostel is in an old building, there is no elevator. The breakfast is okay, for 8.00 euros the quality is appropriate. There are rooms with and without bathrooms.There is one small drawback for drivers: There are no parking spaces!

Had a great couple of days at the hostel. Thank-you to all the staff who went out of their way to take care of us. Haven't stayed in a hostel for a while but it was a pleasant experience.

It's a hostel. The 2 persons room with its own bath is very nice. A place to hand a coat or jacket would be appreciated. The stff is very helpful and friendly, the location is central, intra muros old town, and calm, at the same time. Breakfat and joint kitchen equipment is very good.

Hostel in the city center. Pleasant mattresses, I slept well. We were here as a whole family, we just needed to sleep and this was the best option for us, so that we could walk around the city in the morning and drive on again. It's not quite an ideal option for a family, as there is a certain amount of discomfort, but luckily the hostel was quite empty at the beginning of September, so we didn't have to wait at all for the kitchen or the shower. Unfortunately, it is not possible to park at the hostel, so we had to move our things out and park elsewhere. I still enjoyed my stay, it was a return to my student years :)

The stay at Blue Doors Hostel was very nice. The two of us had a four-bed room with a bathroom all to ourselves. Everything was very clean and the local people were super nice. The location is also great, you have all the shops and the market square right on your doorstep and you can easily get anywhere by train.

We stayed at the hostel for one night and would not consider staying again. We had room number 4, which was right between the common room and a supply room. It was very loud in the common room at night (until around 3 a.m.). In the morning there was screaming in the hallway and jumping down the stairs, so that the already short night was over for us around 7 a.m. It was very, very noisy. The mattresses and the double bed are m.m.n. ripe for bulky waste. The mattresses were completely sagging (we both had terrible back pain after the short night) and the bed creaked with every movement. Television was out of the question as it didn't work anyway.Price-performance doesn't fit at all. For what we got it was still too expensive.However, the location is really, really good. There is no parking space in front of the house, but we were able to make do with that.
