They skimp on everything! No heat, they give you an extra blanket, that's why all the guests are cold! Mattress in room 4 needs to be replaced! Female Russian staff member so unhelpful. Check in is not welcoming; took me 25 minutes. I could not wait to get the hell out of there. The only good thing was the warm shower

Verified traveler

Disliked: Staff & service

A hostel, nothing more

If you have no choice, you can stay. But not worth the money for a single room (26 €). You have to call on the phone to get in (what if my battery is dead). The greeting is beyond friendly. Every time the light goes on in the hall you see it in the room. Also can be loud in the street, from passing by drunks, as in the middle of the oldtown. Which makes it also a good location if you look for this.

I turn up and know one was there. Then a guy walked out said he work there and let me get in and walked down the street to not return. So I left because the place look not welcoming at all. And no one was there to check me.

No lo recomiendo

Fue fácil encontrarlo. El chico de la recepción con muy mal modo. Quejándose de que a mi me había salido barata la habitación pero para él era pérdida (una habitación individual, pero tenía 3 camas). De mala manera me dijo que elija una cama y que ni siquiera me siente en las otras porque debería cobrarme extra.
