Room kind of small for 4 people (2 Kids), condition so so, no kettle has to go to reception to get hot water, pretty dry and have to open window to let fresh air in, but then it's a bit noisy at night when window open.

Location was fantastic as we were travelling Europe by train. Easy walkable distance to the Old Town but plenty of bus stops located close by as well. Staff were great, had a private twin room and we were very happy with it. Great facilities for doing laundry as well. Overall I would happily recommend staying her to others.

They have a bed at knee level in front of 2 bathrooms in a 6 bed dorm. NO ONE. Should have to sleep there. Never mind that the bed had a non working outlet! It was plugged in, but I had dead devices by morning time and missed my alarm. Should really be testing these things out for travellers. Bathroom needs to be cleaned more often aswell. Floor was completely dusty

The staff at the front is great. Very helpful. The bed are a little uncomfortable. The location is so close to the train station which is great. Its probably a 20 minute walk to the old town though.

Shocking stay at this place, it’s like a crèche hundreds of kids running around lawlessly. No towel included in your booking you need to pay for that, and pay to store your bag while waiting to check in, and they hand you your bed sheets when you check in to make your whole bed from scratch like prisoner of ww2. Bed frame full of rubbish and extremely dusty. Absolutely brutal experience.
