The staff was nice and accommodating. The room itself was also very nice and having privacy curtains certainly made it way more comfortable. The location is great since it is neither far from the train station nor from the city center.

“Very disappointing”
Lovely old charcterful building. Clean bedding, although there was no matress protector and the mattress squeeked with every slight movement. I liked the curtains around the bunks for privacy

Check-in was very simple and flexible under the nice staff's help. The room was in good condition and it was rather quiet during my stay -- only around 3 people in a 15-people room. The hostel is also very close to the train station, so I can check out at a later time to walk to it without rushing.
