The room we chose fit our family of four as well as expected. The staff was friendly, helpful, and offered good information. The location was perfect for the amount of sightseeing we did throughout the city.

Das Badezimmer war extrem klein, und auch mitten im Raum. Man konnte die Tür schließen aber trotzdem alles hören, nh halbleere Toilettenpapierrolle wurde uns netterweise da gelassen und Handseife gab es auch nicht. Die Betten waren steinhart, alles kam mir so alt vor also nicht einfach alt sondern man hätte es schon längst austauschen müssen alt. Wenn man Backpacker mäßig unterwegs ist und sich nicht so für Hygiene und Komfort interessiert kann man da auf jeden Fall schlafen aber 70€ die Nacht dafür? Schon frech.

The hostess Maria was very friendly, she waited for us and welcomed us. There is a nice living room with kitchen and the location is very nice and close to a supermarket.

staff were friendly and super helpful. room and bathroom was clean but disappointing for the price.
the room we were put in was very basic and we felt very claustrophobic. there was a window but might as well not have been as it just looked out straight onto a wall and other peoples windows. I think we got unlucky with the room allocation, as when we walked past some other rooms on the front of the property whilst they were being cleaned they seemed more welcoming (big windows, balconies etc)

Great location, excellent and very kind host who was attentive to our needs.
There was no air conditioning in the room

The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. There is a great kitchen and eating area. Everything was spotlessly clean ad tidy. a handy “free food” basket which is great to add to/use from.

Decent place for one night stay before/after flight. Clean, airy (exceptionally high ceilings) and beautiful old building itself in a very convenient location.
5 Eur per beg to leave it for a couple of hours in the reception is not a friendly attitude, especially that there are not many other facilities. Plus a bin collection in the middle of the night which made us jump from our beds and kept awake for quarter of an hour.

I loved my stay, Daniela was super friendly and helpful, the perfect person for the job 👏. Maria was also fabulous and the bathrooms were always SPOTLESS. Fantastic location too. Great that they have tea and coffee option 👍
Maybe provide some milk for the coffee? Thanks

The lady who greeted us at reception was very pleasant and helpful. If you are wanting extremely spartan and basic accommodation, this would be right up your street.
The location of the accommodation is very good for transportation (train station 2 minutes walk, reliable bus services near the station also).
The noise from people in the street from around 23h-01h was really quite bad, either residents coming and going, or drunk people shouting.
As for the room itself, the "toilet/bathroom" , although perfectly functional, was little more than a screen around the 'facilities' which afforded no privacy whatsoever in terms of soundproofing. Not good if you are self-conscious about that sort of thing !
Trying to get dressed in there after a shower felt like Superman changing in a phone booth.
And the beds were surely WW2 army surplus, judging by the way they creaked noisily with the slightest movement. Good luck trying to turn over in the night without waking your partner , or the guy in the next room (!)

It was close to shops and restaurants.
The beds were not comfortable, there was no air-conditioning. We had a baby with us, someone else that was staying came and told me to keep my baby quiet.

The staff gave a very warm welcome and were extremely friendly, lovely people.
The room had no handle on the bathroom door, mould in the shower base, no headboards on the bed, a thin curtain that let in light and the room opposite light bulb. It is extremely basic.
3.5 / 5.0
nice location, didn’t meet any stuff as we checked in late.
it is a fairly basic hostel and we paid 200 euros for a night, thinking that there is even no 24/7 reception desk and no breakfast.

The accomodation in 5minutes from city center.
Staff was very helpfuly for us and we felt welcome.
The room and everything in the flat was cleany.
They have very uncomfortable bed!! I often woke
up because of quality of the mattress. My husband
have 1,93m and he had put the mattress on the
floor because it didnt fit on the bed because of the
metal konstruction at the feet. We had room where
is window in the kitchen and anyone could open
and get into the bedroom. Not much safety.
