Short version: Unfortunately not recommended at all, incredibly unhygienic room and sometimes very strange staff, it's better to dig a little deeper into your pockets for much, much better comfort. Location is fine, lots of bus connections, lots of kebab shops and a Lidl nearby.Long version:We booked a twin room for two nights, €120 in total. We were aware of the bad reviews, but from personal experience with other poorly rated hostels that turned out to be great, we still took the plunge and our already low bar was beaten.Shortly before we arrived at the hostel, we were greeted nicely by two rats, which probably turned out to be the most hygienic thing we saw that evening, really cute fellows 👍🏼There was no trace of seriousness on the part of the hostel management, she immediately became mushy when she arrived and was annoyed because we didn't say anything other than the minimum about “Are you German? Yes, then speak German now!”. By the way, the reception is also a kitchen where a Ukrainian non-employee likes to serve himself, who, according to the quote, “likes to knock on the doors at night”. €10 is required as a deposit for the door keys, unfortunately there was no information about this anywhere, so I only had €5 with me. She was kind enough to accept the €5 in order to mention something positive.After we got to the top on the 3rd floor (there is no elevator for anyone who needs it, we got along just fine without it), what was probably the worst room we have seen so far and will see, more details under “Rooms”. You couldn't actually make anything worse than it already was, which is why we had already decided in the first hour after checking in whether we should sleep outside at the main train station or immediately take the 5 hour train back. Some of us didn't even dare to sit on the bed; we didn't lie down anyway. We then decided to throw all our clothes on the floor, sleep on the clothes and check out the next day, a second night was absolutely not feasible.This time a different woman was responsible for checking out, who was much nicer than the boss, which is why we left the hostel with a slightly better feeling. We were worried that we would have to interact with the boss again.All in all not worth the money. Here are just some of the things that could be seen in the room.UPDATE after we got home: We discovered itchy flea bites on many parts of our body while showering 👍🏼

My worst experience of my life. Service was catastrophic as were the rooms. I've never seen such a disgusting room in my life. The bathroom had not been cleaned, the bed linen had stains and there were still things left by the previous guests.I wouldn't even give one star!!!Don't believe the lady at the service, no matter what she says. I have never seen such an unfriendly woman.I don't recommend it to anyone!!!

Very very dirty. I recommend not to come. It was a bad couple's vacation. The experience is dirty. The bathrooms have not been cleaned for months. The floor is full of stains and filth. The smell is very bad when entering the rooms. The beds are dirty. The mattress is dirty and some parts are torn. Frankly speaking, the dirtiest days of my life I spent in the hotel. Unfortunately, there is no oversight over these places. Before the specialists

Very bad hotel with worst service. I booked a room for 6 beds. I arrived to be shocked at the room for 3 beds. It slept 5 people. She did not accept a room change. They are scammers. They do not speak any language except Turkish. It was one of my worst experiences in life because of the filth in this place. The receptionist was disrespectful and raised his voice at me because I asked for a towel. Then I left the motel and slept in the car for the whole night. I do not advise anyone🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The worst hostel I've ever had. It's amazing how much dirt can remain in a room and the toilet. Nothing more than making the bed has been done here for weeks! Absolutely disgusting! If I hadn't had my bottle of red wine with me, I would have gone straight back home.

Filthy, dirty and absolutely unacceptable. We had to buy disinfectant out of our own pocket and clean the toilet in order to be able to use it. We had to clean up the room with bags and alcohol.

Never stay here. Rooms are dirty, beds full of mites and bugs, bedding obviously hasn't been washed in a while. If there are complaints, the owner becomes aggressive and violent. Give the shed a wide berth
