The hostel is extremely shabby, the mattresses have hundreds of stains, there is dirt everywhere, holes in the walls right next to the bed, and you can smell the drain from the bathrooms. There is never any cleaning and defective bulbs are not replaced. Even €30 per night is still too much. The breakfast is really good, but an extra charge is almost cheeky given the other conditions.

I stayed in a 6-person mixed dormitory. Everyone was male except me… Hahaha it smelled so badㅜㅠㅠSmell like feet that haven't been washed in 8 years? But the location is very good. It's right in front of the station. The staff is also very friendly.

Arrived as a group of five, with proof of booking by email, we were told that only a four-bed room was available, that an extra mattress would cost another 10 euros and that the receptionist actually didn't feel like carrying it up.She probably couldn't fold out the folding sofa in the room, so she would just give it a try.Said and done. Actually worked.However, the terrible awakening came when we came into our room at night and at that very moment a cockroach moved from one bed to the other...Under all these circumstances I absolutely cannot recommend this hostel, we didn't even want to spend a night there and left that same night.

If you e.g. Has a double room for two, really great for the price...In a meeting room with strangers? It's not possible. Then it's too expensive.The location in front of the train station is great! You have a beautiful view of the vineyardsand the drug scene in front of the train station.

It seems very bad to me that a room for two people (which was reserved in advance) only has service for one. One towel, one pillow, one duvet for one person and you also have to make the bed yourself because they give you the room without covers on the bed or pillowcase, for the price it is terrible.And besides, the bathroom gives off bad smells and they don't put any type of gel in the shower.
