A nice hostel, but parking in front of the hotel is not free. There is free parking about 8 minutes away.

Rooms were kept clean! Service was okay.Nothing to brag about! The roof top is very shabby.Needs to be redone.Wahing facilities not to good.Very mundane! The washing machine is an old tin can.They need to make the place a bit nicer looking .The roof top terrace looks like a bomb landed on it! I Hope this helps! It has such a good location.

My friend and I stayed here one night and felt very uneasy and unsafe around staff and guests. Location was good. Would probably be good if you’re a man, but as two female guests felt very uneasy about the whole place. Overall weird vibes

Charges a so-called tourist tax on site, even though it has already been paid via Airbnb. Dishonest. I absolutely do not recommend.

The location was good. Not far away from railway station. It looks good from the outside. It feels like the place is constructed in a way to just make look nice from the outside or in pictures, not concerned about the overall quality. …

The place was congested and did not have good vibe. The place is constructed in a way to look good from the outside but the overall quality is not good. I did not feel safe. No recommended at all.

I booked and paid in advance. I booked about three weeks before my arrival. But when I got there, I was told by the reception that I had to pay an extra €14.2. They told me that this was city tax, which tourists needed to pay. …
