good hostel in good central location
Good location to centre. We were arriving outside office hours but they left a hand written note and map that we appreciated with the key. Private room was comfortable but outside walk to toilets and showers. Good hostel stay.

It probably hasn’t been cleaned I feel like they just make the bed after you (without fresh sheets) The smell was overwhelming the minute you walk in and there is literally crap everywhere.

Klasse Aufenthalt
Sehr netter Aufenthalt, Personal war sehr freundlich. Wirkt zuerst etwas chaotisch, war dann aber richtig gut. Küche hatte alles was nötig ist und war sauber. Tägliche Reinigung. Stadt gut fußläufig zu erkunden. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Super für den Preis.

Buena estadía.
Buena zona, buena relación calidad - precio, acogedor, se preocupan por la limpieza, buen espacio, las camas son un poco viejas, por consiguiente el ruido es incomodo y algunas almohadas no brindan ningún soporte.
