Velmi se nám líbil pokoj a jeho vybavení. I kuchyňka byla překvapivě velká a praktická. Postel pohodlná, koupelna čistá.
Interiér schodiště, mírný zápach v přízemí.

Location was good and room was large and spacious.
The mattress was terrible and really needs to be replaced (room 9). We both couldn't sleep and woke up with sore backs (we are fit and in our 20s). Even though the windows are small, there are no curtains or blinds so it didn't feel that private. Also there is no fan or air conditioning and the room was melting hot. Some quick easy fixes here would make this a really nice place to stay.

Very spacious room. All clean and cosy.
The pillows could be more comfortable.
Checkin at the bar. It was strange to enter the bar with children, but after checking in all went well.

Located near the centre
The rooms were not clean at all. The windows did not have any blinds or curtains.

The hostel is located a few steps from the historical city center, which can be reached in a few minutes on foot. During my stay, it was apparently empty/almost empty, as I didn't see/hear any other guests at all. It's possible to check in via app before you arrive, so that the arrival procedure is shortened to a minimum (receiving the room key card). The reception itself is located at the bar, meaning the barista is also the receptionist. The hostel is located above the bar, it can be accessed through the bar area, or a side entrance around the corner (with key card). There is no elevator available and quite a few steps, especially if you're located on the upper floors, which may be relevant for people with impaired mobility. The hostel itself was clean, the room was bright and spacious, there is a common kitchen area and a bathroom which is shared with a couple of other rooms. I didn't catch any noise from the bar in the attic room, maybe it wasn't very busy downstairs. However, noise from the street can be heard very well even with the windows closed (people talking, cars, garbage trucks, pretty much any noise will be transferred into the room). This is obviously not fault of the hostel, I just found it very interesting and unexpected, because the street itself isn't that loud - no public transport runs there, and not many cars, so I would not expect this noise level. It made it a bit hard to fall asleep even though I'm usually a good sleeper, so I can imagine that light sleepers will experience some problems in that matter.
I will not blame the noise level from the street on the hostel, and take it into account for a bad rating. What made my stay rather unpleasant was the fact that upon arrival my room was really cold, as was the bathroom. There was also an issue with warm water as there wasn't any. I thought the cold room might be due to the fact that the room hasn't been used before, but even after I turned on the heating, it didn't seem to work. I know that some heating systems only activate during the evening hours, so I still hoped for some improval later in the day, but there was none. In fact, I had to keep my winter jacket & scarf on while I was in my room, and even my gloves as it became colder during the night. I couldn't wash myself and tried to sleep with my clothes on, and the night was a nightmare (according to my app, the room temperature in the evening was under 20°C, and fell towards 12°C in the morning). Luckily, I had two duvets available in the two-bed room. I contacted the hostel owner in the evening already, and once again in the morning, but I didn't get any response at all. Only in the afternoon when the bar opened, I could get hold of the barista/receptionist. The lady was kind and helpful, trying to get in touch with owners and/or maintenance. In the end, it turned out that the boiler for the top floor was turned off, which is why there was no heating and no warm water. Once the boiler was turned on, the heating system slowly came to life, but it took several hours to get the room to an acceptabel temperature. I'm not one to complain easily, but I certainly wished for better (quicker) communication here. The rest of my stay was OK given the circumstances, but the first super cold day spoils the whole experience.

Garbage in the trash can was not removed
Bed linen looked like it was not changed
The smell of marijuana from the corridor made its way into the room.
Traces of forced entry on the door and a faulty lock looked flimsy and not safe.
There is no food in the bar on the first floor, only drinks. It is not good or bad just for info.

The furnitre was nice, the wifi worked the location was awesome
It was very dirty, the floor in my room was definetly not even sweept before I came, there were long black hairs all over thebfloor (my hair isn't that long), it smelled bad, there was tobaco, filters anda needle left in a bedside drawer, there was also a small white pill in the crack of the bed frame, I thhought there were people up all night talking, turns out it was just one black-put druk dude talking to jimself the entire night in the kitchen, he was very loud and the kit hen had an AWFUL smell, I couldn't figure out where it was coming from or what it was...it was the guys stinky beers, the shower leaked a lot, there were two small windows on in the bathroom and one in the bedroom with no way to cover them, and the one in the bathroom made it visible to the street that you were kn the toilet or taking a shower, very ceepy

Location is great.
Quality - price ratio is OK.
We had to pay for parking on the street.

its close to the city centre, walking distance to everything important
kitchen / eating area way too small, there is not nearly enough room for everyone at the tables. we had to have breakfast in our room - sitting on the floor, using the bench as table :(
the 'shelves'made out of granite (or something similar) are dangerous. i hit one, that inconveniently had a sharp edge sticking out more than once. i had to hang a coat on it, so i would at least not injure myself, as the way between wall (and shatp shelf) and the bed is really narrow. so it is unavoudable to hit the sharp spike.
the bed was really uncumfortable, i've never had such bad sleep in a hostel/hotel before.

Nothing - we had to leave, because it was so bad.
Only one waitress is attending a whole bar in the bottom of the hostel and the whole hostel at the same time - she is very stressed and unfriendly.
The hostel claims that parking is included in the price, but in the end you have to pay for a street parking and spend a few hours discussing refund.
The room was extremely dirty - dust everywhere, wallpaper falling off the wall. The sheets were dirty and with many holes. We asked for a new set of sheets but unfortunately these were the same "quality". We left and did not receive refund, even though it was promised.
