Basic, but clean. The staff were lovely. Laundry facilities were handy between cruises. Iron and ironing board available upon request. Stay for 3 nights total, would stay again.

“Good location and affordable price, but cleanliness and noise could be improved.”
If you're looking for a budget-friendly place to stay in a great location, this place is for you. The reviews accurately reflect the property. Since it’s an older building, there is a slight unusual smell, but it’s still acceptable. I also read some complaints about the noise, but I personally found it manageable. For a short stay of two or three nights, I think it’s fine.

“Did not feel safe”
In the park infront of the Hostel there is a lot of drug addicts, in my case, there was a person taking drugs on the stairs going to the Hostel.... I really do not recommend staying here, I did not feel safe at all. Moreover, the windows are really old and you can listen everything. So not a good option for a good rest....

“Not bad, good service while there is someone there.”
Second night was great. Oh I took a book from the bookshelf, I thought it was one of those book nook kind of situations where you can take a book but I can't leave one cause I've left now. Maybe when I come back.
