I booked a private room. It was great and as shown on the pics. The hostel was quiet and the staff were lovely. Walking distance to main parts of the city.
I think the shower is slightly old. Otherwise everything else was perfect.

there was a girl working in the cleaning of the rooms, she was focusing in her duties and the rooms and the bathroom was exceptionally clean.
the girl at the reception was insulting and showed no sign of respect, and she was talking in a bad way with al of the people I spoke to, they all said the same thing when we were gathering in the bedroom or in the backyard of the hostel.
and there was a weird uncomforting man in the hostel of all days, sometimes on the reception, sometimes in the TV room, sometimes in the shared bedrooms. I didn't feel a moment of comfort to the level I checked out earlier and went to my friend's hostel and stayed there for the rest of my stay. I don't recommend the hostel at all, at least for solo travelers, especially female solo.

Very friendly and helpful reception staff.
Nice location.
Clean room and facilities.
Nice courtyard to hang out and eat outside.
Bad acoustic insulation of the room, you can hear pretty much everything that's happening in the halway.

Расположение - центр, в 20 мин ходьбы от автовокзала.
Хотел расположен на 2 этаже старинного деревянного здания. На первом - магазинчики. Идти надо вверх по лестнице.
Комната нам досталась большая, в ней - двуспальная и односпальные кровати. Места довольно много. Оформление под старину мне понравилось: лоскутное покрывало, пестрое постельное белье, винтажное оформление старинных стульев и маленького комода, разноцветная штора.
В номере есть маленький электорчайник, маленький прикроватный столик, лампа напольная и настольная.
Рядом с ресепшн есть маленькая общая кухня и комната с телевизором.
Хостел очень хорошо подходит, чтоб переночевать.
Скрипящие полы под ламинатом, слезшая белая краска с металлических поверхностей в туалетах, разболтанные замки в дверях душевой, почерневшие зазоры между плитами в душевой - все это требует косметического ремонта.

El hostel está bastante limpio
Es la primera vez en 15 años que no me dejan usar las zonas comunes hasta las 15:00 que era la hora de entrada. Y venía de despertarme muy temprano la noche anterior. Solo me ha guardado la mochila y con mala cara! Es un sitio que no recomiendo debido a estas actitudes!

nice staff, there were individual lockers free of charge where you can leave valuabe items (small box, for your tablet or small laptop).
cheap stay. 15min walk from the main stations. wifi was ok. free coffee and tea in their small kitchen
messy room, terrible pillows and the mattress far from good, the bed sheets had some smell which wasn't nice. but maybe it was only for my own bed, hopefully.

On third floor ventilator. At night for me it was hard to sleep. Because i hear it.

NOT FOR SOLO FEMALE TRAVELLERS!!! When I arrived, the woman at the reception didn't have the booking. She told me she'd give me a room with 3 old russian men since thats the only option and "safer than sharing with younger men only". "Don't worry, they are nice guys, I told them not to abuse you", she said. I have no words for this.

Strange atmosphere and quite dirty. The staff was a bit rude during check in. I dont recommend it.

Communication from the hotel was very good.
Cleanliness could have been better but it is ok for the money.

The first two nights were perfect. I had a double bed in a dorm room for four, but I was the only person in the room. The shower was very good. The staff was very helpful. The kitchen was good.
The last two nights there was a woman in my room who coughed all night long. She was quite sick. I don't know if it was COVID or something else. I hope I don't catch her illness. I don't think she should have been placed in a room with other people because I think her illness was contagious.

Says it is Central.
About 20 minutes walk to the Old Town

Really welcoming staff. Not too many rooms locate together so it is rather quiet. Distance from the city center is walkable.
The room was quite hear-through when someone walks in the corridors at night.

24h check-in. Door codes instead of keys.
Strong smell of mold and smoke. Wet bathrooms that didn't seem to be cleaned. Rickety bunkbeds that creakead and shuddered every time you moved. Staff didn't speak any English. No curtains on the windows that had a bright flickering street light right outside.

Good location
Bed sheets were dirty

you will get what you pay for
just 1 bathroom for whole floor, sqeaky beds, place is mostly occupied with locals who live there for even a half a year so it is not really for travellers and tourists, but a cheaper way to live than pay a rent

Extremely rude night shift administrator.
I stayed here at night on January 11th-12th. The administrator at night was a guy who harassed and yelled at guests for any miscellaneous reason: "you must turn off the light in the toilet", "you must close the kitchen door". Well I agree that there are some rules in the hostel and everybody should comply. However I don't agree with the tone and disrespectful behavior of the administrator. I will never come back here again, Neither I advise to you.
