The rooms were large and clean. I like that there was a bathroom and shower for two units hidden. Our unit was completely full but still no one had to really wait for the bathrooms. Cramped shower but it worked for me, maybe not if you’re really tall. Close to everything and you just walk everywhere. Not too much food choices around but if you walk 10 minutes or so, you are in a good place for it. I would stay again.

I Really Like This Hostel

There is so much good food left behind and marked “free” to future travelers just for the taking. This food is not only In baskets on the counter tops, but marked in refrigerators as well. This is a welcome tide-me-over until one can get to a market in the mean time and a thoughtful gesture as well. Very appreciated.

Keine Kontrolle über die Heizung, somit viel zu heiß im Raum! Bett knarrt und ist sehr hart. Sehr laut durch die Straße und den Zug! Keine Schalldämpfung in den Fenstern! Frühstück ist sehr wenig! Nur Marmelade als Auflage und das Beot war an einer Stelle schimmelig! Man hört die angrenzenden Zimmer als wäre es ein großes! Absolut nicht zu empfehlen!!

Nice

Der Aufenthaltsraum war sehr familiär. Man hat Menschen jeden Alters und Land getroffen. Das Frühstück war einfach, aber es hat gereicht gestärkt in den Tag zu starten. Die Zimmer waren ok. Nur sehr warm, man konnte die Heizung nicht selbst ausstellen. Unsere Zimmergenossen haben fast täglich gewechselt und waren insgesamt angenehm, rücksichtsvoll und vertrauenswürdig. Man kann seinen Koffer in den Keller in einen Käfig stellen und gegen 10 Euro Kaution abschließen. Wir hatten eine Dusche und Toilette für ca. 10 Leute. Die Dusche hätte neuer und sauberer geputzt werden können. Auch die Ablagen. Die Toilette habe ich wenig genutzt und bin stattdessen auf die beim Gemeinschaftsraum. War angenehmer und wurde wenig genutzt. Relativ zentral ist das Hostel. Von Temple Bar zum Hostel waren es ca. 9,20 Eur ;-) Allem in allem würde ich das Hostel erneut besuchen und auch weiter empfehlen.
