The staff at the front is very nice, but that does not make up for the decrepit state that this hostel is in.

Deutsch: Der Boden im Zimmer ist vergleichbar mit einer Baustelle. Das Wasser hat nicht funktioniert, sodass die Gemeinschafts-Toilette so gestunken hat, dass man sich fast übergeben musste und man auch die Hinterlassenschaften der anderen Gäste beäugen konnte. Danach ging der Gestank auch nicht mehr weg und das Gemeinschaftsbad blieb schmutzig. Die Steckdosen haben ebenfalls nicht funktioniert. Der Preis ist viel zu hoch für so eine Müllhalde. Selbst im Gefängnis sieht es tausend mal schöner aus. English: The floor in the room is comparable to a construction site. The water didn't work, so the shared toilet smelled so bad that you almost had to vomit and you could also see the other guests' messes. After that the smell didn't go away and the shared bathroom remained dirty. The sockets didn't work either. The price is way too high for such dump. Even in prison it looks a thousand times nicer.
