“Clean Hostel in good location”
The hostel is well located and convenient for exploring the city. We stayed in one of the sleeping pods with a double bed. Both the rooms and the shared bathrooms are very clean, and the kitchen allows you to prepare simple meals. There is no traditional stove, but there is an electric pot, an electric pan, and a microwave. Supermarkets are within walking distance. As a relatively affordable accommodation, the hostel can be recommended. However, it does not have a classic hostel atmosphere.

“Good as is one of the cheapest price for some nights”
The beds. Very private despite the shared rooms, with courtins and a wall. And comfortable and clean rooms.

“Agressive and unfriendly staff/Manager and I tested with mice.”
I did.not like anything about this.property as the staff were extremely unfriendly and aggressive. I reported mice infestation in the common lounge & kitchen area that way not taken seriously. Other guests before me had done so and no action was taken.

“Very new facilities”
Very clean and exceptionally new facilities. Loved having ear plugs for free. Felt super safe to be there. Definitely on the fancy side of hostels without the party element.
