“absolutely good for the price and performance ratio”
the hosel No 5 exudes a rustic charm. but for the price, close to the center, within walking distance to shops/cafes/döner kebabs, many sights, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It is absolutely clean everywhere. There is a lounge, a courtyard for smokers and a well-equipped kitchen on each room floor. 👍

“A fairly good place to stay for a short-term visit”
For a hostel, the accommodation was quite comfortable. We stayed in a 5-bed room, just the two of us, and there was a bathroom nearby with separate facilities for men and women, as well as a spacious kitchen equipped with everything needed. The plumbing, furniture condition, and cleanliness of the room were all good. The bed linen and towels were not new, but clean. Free Wi-Fi was available. Access to the room was possible at any time, and the entrance to the building was secured with a personal magnetic key. The location was excellent—on a relatively quiet street very close to the city center, with free parking nearby. The doors to the common areas have a soft-closing mechanism, which prevents slamming and adds to the overall comfort.

“Haunted hostel - no people, old facilities; but price was good for the location”
The place of the hostel is rather central, near the castle and a tram stop. It was easy to get in (everything is done contactless), you already have sheets and towels in the room. Bathrooms were clean.

Not clean at all. A lot of bugs everywhere and no staff in the hostel to get any help. Also price is too high for this standard.
