Stayed here for four nights in Sept. Great location for the train station and Uber Area is only a ten min walk. Arrived early so was able to store my luggage, €4/24 hours. Got back to the hotel later in the evening. …

We took a private room of 4 ; we had towels, shampoo, a private shower and toilets, 2 simple beds and 2 bunks bed. The room is perfect and with no noise. We slept very well.The location of the hotel is kind of fare away from the city center by walking but very near a subway station and not expensive by Uber.There is also a shared kitchen which is really nice if you want to cook.The ratio quality/price is very nice. I recommend this hotel.

Very central, easy to make your way round the city. Mostly by train or by foot. We came in Summer so weather was good. Easy to find places to eat, street food was good and reasonably priced. We did 2 walking tours to learn about the city and get our bearings. I think we reached 25,000 steps in a day but then took it easy the next day.Staff were so friendly and helpful.We had a private room which I would recommend for a family of 3. ( Teenager)Bathroom was new and clean with towels, loo paper and soap provided. Shower worked well.Breakfast was superb. So healthy and reasonably priced. It was a help yourself continental, with yogurt , muesli, cereal, fruit and fantastic bread, sliced of ham, salami or cheese, tea, coffee and juice.We were pleasantly surprised.We felt safe.

I stayed here for one week in one of the shared dorms and had a really positive experience. The rooms are a little smaller, but really nice, modern and clean. The people are super nice and the location is amazing for seeing the city.I will say though that the common kitchen was not the cleanest or biggest but it was still fine.

Overall, the hotel is very nice and the staff are friendly and helpful. The environment is youthful and livable. The property is in a very nice area and also well served by public transport. Breakfast is classic continental. The cleanliness of the room is good. The only flaw is when, on the last day, I requested the room to be completely cleaned and, instead, only the towels were changed.

I had a very comfortable, safe and convenient stay at this hotel with a public transport station a 5 minutes walk from it. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the room was modern. There was a TV inside and provided soap and shower gel. There was no electric kettle or cups, however any tea can be made at the guest kitchen. The hotel had a friendly atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. The price of the rooms were also the best in the city! I'll be sure to come here again.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE :Wanted to rest at a time that I consider average and logic (outside of working hours by the way), only to see that there is construction work on the wall next to my bed until at least 9:00pm. Little to say that resting with a jackhammer on the wall next to you is just impossible.I went by the desk and they are not even able to find a replacement solution (they didn’t want to upgrade us) nor compensating us…Moreover, the kitchen is closed during our stay and no notice was sent no compensation was offered ….I edit my review to add the fact that I got woke up by the construction men before 9am….Service : 0

I do not understand how so many reviews are noting the staff as friendly. I have never experienced such inhospitable, unfriendly staff at a hostel and i’ve traveled a fair amount. there were so many problems with my room and/or reservation - not all of those issues were at the fault of staff. but every time i asked for help they seemed annoyed, irritated and were actively not accommodating. at one point i was at the front desk and needed to rebook my reservation and the guy directed me to the qr code on the wall instead of helping me by booking the reservation for me on the computer in front of him. insane. also mostly children stay here so if you’re over 20 i would look elsewhere.
