"Mala sensación"

5.0

Me gustó todo en general

Reservé una habitación individual para dos noches y ese mismo día escribí al alojamiento para anular la segunda noche. Nunca me respondieron...al llegar al hotel en la recepción me dijeron que las dos noches ya estaban pagadas y no se podía hacer nada.

"Step back in time"

4.0

The bed was clean and comfortable There were rooms to relax in

This hostel looks like it hasn't been touched in decades. It was like going back in time. The carpets were threadbare, paint was peeling off the woodwork. There was a sign on the fridge saying it was cleaned on a Friday but definitely wasn't on the Friday that I was there as a spillage remained there for the whole of my stay. There weren't enough showers and the sinks in the toilet rooms weren't big enough to get washed in. As a minimum needs a good lick of paint but really needs to be modernised.

Location and the private room for the good value of money

Staff seemed very busy, so checking in and asking for help during reception hours was quite difficult. The hostel was not very clean, and the noise insulation was very poor — I could hear every single word from the next room, which suggests the building is quite old.

"Bien"

8.0

Le calme même si rien n'est insonorisé et que quand on marche surtout la nuit même si on fait attention le bruit résonne vu que c'est du parquet..la cuisine était assez grande. Il y avait assez de douche et de toilettes.. et de quoi se reposer dans les petits salons aménagés et ce que j'ai trouvé bien même si c'était rudimentaire d'avoir une petite cuisine au dernier étage car sinon il faut descendre à chaque fois au rez-de-chaussée où se trouve la vraie cuisine si on à juste besoin de la bouilloire. Et j'ai trouvé très bien de laisser ceux qui ont un bus ou avion de pouvoir rester à l'auberge plutôt que d'attendre dehors avec les bagages.

C'est vrai que c'est bien précisé que l'auberge est sur les hauteurs de la ville mais je m'attendais pas à ce que ce soit si abrupte ou alors je n'ai pas pris le chemin le plus facile. Mais il faut reconnaître que quand vous avez un sac a dos et qu'il faut monter jusqu'à l'auberge c'est pas évident. La rue monte quand même pas mal.
