"Disappointed"

4.0

Location was good for exploring and staff were nice.

Lift not working had to carry cases up 4 flights of stairs and my mother who is disabled really struggled. Was out of service for the whole trip no sign of anyone fixing it. Our first room was dirty, hair everywhere, blood on sheets and bed frame had something spilled all over it. Second room was cleaner however the top bunk had not been cleaned in a long time found a bottle of ironbrew and so much dust. Wouldn't recommend for families at all.

"Excellent everything you will need.⁸"

8.0

It's quite a good well run hostel I've used it before. On reception was a lovely Nigerian lad who really helped me so much

I can only get in a bottom bunk bed I emailed when I booked, but nothing was arranged in the end I just took the first one I could find and told the staff, who were more than helpful, but had no way of identifying which bunks where where .

"für den Preis wirklich OK, Frühstück würde ich nicht mehr buchen"

6.0

Zimmer und Bad darin waren wirklich OK. Dreckige Wände sind eher den Vorgängern geschuldet

Die Bar war sehr dreckig,der Boden klebte bei jedem Schritt und das Frühstück war sehr lieblos und recht dreckig und um 7:30 fehlten bereits einige Dinge komplett. Der Fahrstuhl war kaputt
