Kitchen facility is inadequate for the size of hostel and number of people wanting to use it. It is accessed through getting a key and is a small galley kitchen- suitable for one family/person to cook at a time but when I used it, 3 other groups also wanted to do so. It is not possible to pop in and get something into the fridge or cook and then do you dishes later (freeing it up for someone else to use it while you eat) as you have to pay a deposit to get the key. Freindly enough staff.

In der Zimmerbeschreibung stand „privates Badezimmer“ welches aber nicht in direkter Anbindung zum Zimmer sondern in einem Vorraum aufzufinden war. Von außen nicht abschließbar was es dem Zimmernachbarn welcher den selben Vorraum nutze ermöglicht hat dieses Badezimmer auch zu nutzen. Auf Nachfrage meinte das Personal das ja jeder weiß wem welches Bad gehöre und dann auch dementsprechend dieses nutzen sollte. Was in unserem Fall leider nicht funktioniert hat. Also bestanden wir auf ein neues Zimmer. Dieses hatte dann ein Bad direkt im Zimmer. Leider war dies so elendig dreckig, das wir uns erneut beschwert haben. Das Personal von der Rezeption entschuldigte sich und bemühte sich sehr, was auch das einzig positive an dem ganzen Hotel war. Ich bin mit wenig Erwartungen ins Hotel gegangen und trotzdem wurde ich enttäuscht. Ein billiges Hotel sollte nicht unhygienisch heißen. Nie wieder.

Elevator was not working. Bathrooms were not working. Coffee machines were not working. Check-in was a hassle. I complained to reception on several occasions to fix the bathroom but it wasn’t taken care of the entire floor smelled like poop. The entire staff was rude and not helpful except for Basem and the Kind Indian girl at the reception. My stay was very unsanitary and I would never stay here again. I request a refund.

I know it’s about budget hotel/hostel but it’s a bit of a ride from the city center. For those of you don’t mind take the bus or public transportation, it’s good. But I’d never come stay here again. I just didn’t realize it’s not convenient riding on bus and train. There’s a lot of road construction. Traffic isn’t that good. The property is located at a outskirt with loads of residential areas. Lots of immigrants. The staff is also short at times in the front desk. I didn’t have a good experience checking in. I have an Asian look but I’m an American so that front desk manager wasn’t so nice to accommodate my check in. He just said I had to do a self check in and really didn’t sound polite or friendly.

A&O Hotel Review** If you're looking for an affordable stay, A&O Hotel delivers on price, but there are some trade-offs to consider. The furnishing inside the rooms is entirely metal, which might not be ideal for families with young children due to safety concerns. Additionally, the hotel tends to be very busy, which can make for a lively but sometimes overwhelming atmosphere. One notable drawback is the elevator situation—there's only one, and it's quite slow, so expect some waiting time, especially during peak hours. If budget is your priority and you don’t mind these inconveniences, it might still work for a short stay.
