- jairo (8/5): No volvería si aún administra el mismo - Ubicacion, aseo. 1 ducha para 5 habitaciones, 2 sanitarios para 5 habitaciones, y el administrador no colabora con el checking, nada le cuesta el día antes dar las claves, en mi caso la esim holafly falló en zilina, afortunadamente estando en la puerta del hostal cogí señal de alguien y pude comunicarme con el administrador que nunca vi, ojalá corrija, por qué vale la pena el hostal

- Debbie_WANZ_2468 (7/5): - Good value, great location. Nice big spacious room. Relatively clean and comfortable. Having to pay 5Euros to use the stove and the washing machine was a nuisance, especially for the stove.. Thankfully there was a microwave.
- Lenka (8/5): - Prístup, čistota, priamo v centre, kľud, dobrá cena odporúčam. Obuvak chýba na izbe, inak spokojnosť.
- Šimčisko (7/5): Nemám čo. - Nemal som. Lokalita dobrá. Premazať dvere na kúpeľni a záchode. V noci rušia.

- Matej (4/5): - Lokalita v centre. Boli sme v podkroví a už skoro ráno tam bolo veľmi hlucno. Spoločná kúpeľňa a záchod. Nešlo o manželskú posteľ, ale dve spojené postele. Nočná lampa nefunkčná. Izba vyzerala ošemetne, postele vrzgali, zásuvka len za posteľou. V izbe bolo chladno.
- Pavlo (10/5): - Дуже добрий персонал)
- Hannah (8/5): Perfect location, comfortable large room, host and housekeeper really friendly and helpful! Great value for money. - Great location! The room was big with a tv and even had a small balcony. It was perfect for a couple of nights stay. The only thing we weren’t aware of was that to use the washing machine or cooker cost €5. Didn’t bother us too much as we were only there two night’s but would’ve been nice to have been made aware of this beforehand.

- Lenka (8/5): A nice stay in the centre - Location directly in the centre, the owner was very helpful. Surprisingly comfy for the price, there is kitchen and two bathrooms. Everything was very clean. I stayed only or a night but it was a very good experience. I would consider staying for longer as the usage of stove and washing machine costs 5€ each. But for a short stay it was very good.

- Andrzej (8/5): - Lokalizacja.
Lodówkaw pokoju - ogromny plus!
Czystość w pokoju i obiekcie (z małymi wyjątkami/ W kuchni brudne filiżanki i kubki w szafkach.
Brak płynu do naczyń.
Brak mydła w WC.
W kuchni naczynia i sztućce w bardzo niewielkiej ilości. Np.: kubek, dwie filiżanki i szklanka na cały hostel.

- Gapel (1/5): Celé zle, nikdy viac.Urcite tké ubytovanie neodporucim známym. . - Lokalita fajn, Ubytovanie katastrofa, divím sa ze to ešte hygiena nezatvorila.Za tye peniaze nikdy viac. Robotnicka uytovňa je lepšia ako toto čo sa nazíva Hostel.Zatuchnuté zašťaté madrace ani obliečky na vankúse a prikrívku nám nedali. Ani takú izbu akú sme si zarezrovali sme nemali.Chladnička nefunkčná celé zle.

- Radek (2/5): Horrendous costumer service - not recommended - The room was a clean three single bed room. Horrendous service! I don't have a local phone to call the hostel for them to open the front door to the bed I paid for online. I had a passerby help and call the number but was told I needy own phone if I'm traveling abroad and that this is "not his problem." I asked for a refund and he said he did not understand. I've been to many hostels here. This is surprisingly very poor costumer service.
Then at 8:30pm a person walks into the room while I'm talking to my mother on the phone to tell me he's the owner that, this is his property. Says "you listen to me, if I don't like it, leave!" He asked if I've used booking.com before and says if I don't pay the city tax of 1 euro he's going to write a poor visitor review. He's a strong personality and I ask a few times if I can just speak and he says no. He's assertive aggression had me in shock. Then puts out his hands we can shake and things are settled. I would like to but he doesn't care. An angry reluctant business owner.
In the first encounter all he needed to do was tell me how to get to my room politely instead of attacking.
I spoke to another person who engaged with the owner and said they didn't have any issues with them. So if you have a phone your fine but if the overall professionalism or integrity of the owner is relevant than spare yourself possible anxiety and stay elsewhere.
- Csenge (7/5): Good - The place is in the absolute city centre, everything is close. The overall experience for this price was okay too. The host was really helpful. Our beds were not too comfortable and our room was quite noisy. The noise came from both outside and inside. Price-wise, I think it is still good.
- Madeleine (8/5): Very good -
- Thanh (7/5): Suitable for short stays when you are on a budget - Central location. Near the main station. Cheap price Bed, pillows and sheets are not clean. Bathroom and kitchen are also quite untidy since everyone shares them. The owner is not really professional but we don't expect much from him since it is a hostel
- Benjamin (4/5): "better than sleeping on the ground outside i suppose" - the staff was very friendly and welcoming the shared bathroom smelled of mold and was overall unclean.
the advertised double bed was 2 childrens beds stood next to each other with a large and expanding gap inbetween
the improvised shared kitchen and its utensils were very dirty
- Pepijn (8/5): Very good -
- Sven (8/5): Good value for money - very good location close to everything. The hostel was very clean. It's a small and cosy hostel, every group of travellers got his own room. I got a room for 5 people all for myself. I didn't see anyone of the staff the whole time i was there so i wasn't able to rent a towel (they are not included). The 2nd morning they came to clean my room, apperently the house keeper didn't kow i paid for 2 nights.
- Town (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marju (7/5): Good - Clean place. Very good location. Weird smell.
