“simple and cheap hostel in someway 'punk' style”
Not very far from downtown but in less messy area, though busy road right beside sounds traffic noise during all daytime until midnight. There is a small simple kitchen available for guests. A couple of inexpensive local priced groceries, dinery and bakery nearby.

“Unpleasant Experience at Central City Hostel”
I recently had a disappointing experience with Central City Hostel, and I feel compelled to share my feedback to help others make informed decisions. I booked a Central City hostel for my journey, only to encounter significant issues on the day of my arrival. Despite making all the necessary arrangements, I received a call asking me to cancel my reservation. This unexpected request, especially mid-journey, left me frustrated and inconvenienced. This is the second time such an incident has occurred, and I find it unacceptable. If the hostel is not prepared to honour confirmed bookings, it raises questions about the reliability of their services. Why open for bookings if they are likely to ask for cancellations later? I strongly discourage others from choosing Central City Hostel for a peaceful journey. This establishment appears to be more of a showcase, attempting to appear as the lowest-price option without delivering on its commitments. I urge Booking.com to take appropriate action against this deceptive establishment to prevent others from facing similar disappointments.

Nice hostel. Large area, spacious. There are storage boxes, hot water and kettle 😄. Good location, to the left of the hostel there is a local store (50 meters) where you can buy breakfast rolls. On the right there is a store (100 meters) where you can buy fruits. The host helped us with various questions.
