Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pros: this hostel is nicely decorated and the stuff is nice and friendly.
Cons:
1. It should be noted in the description that the property is not directly accessible by car or taxi. We had to carry our luggage for several flights of stairs up. It can be a huge deal for somebody who has limited physical abilities, senior people etc.
2. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very cold. The hostel does provide heating service which we didnt use for an extra cost, however I feel like having a room with a temperature higher than outside on the street is a basic amenity which should be provided by any accomodation. You also have to walk outside to get to the bathroom/kitchen area which again is cold.
3. Hot water tank in main bathroom is only 20 liters. Hot water doesnt mix with cold. So when you take a shower, you get about 5 min of almost boiling hot water after thant it's cold. I have a long hair and could not wash it properly due to this.
Overall this property has a good potential and it seems like owners take pride in it which can be seen on decoration, however it could be so much better if the issues with room temperature, cold bathrooms and hot water would be addressed.
