This is a hostel - so adjust your expectations. But overall comfortable and safe great location close to train station. The beds were comfortable. The rooms were clean. If you are looking for a reasonably priced place to spend the night this does the job.

Just a small halt

It was a swift decision to stay overnight,so not much options,served few hours to sleep and move onwards as very close to the railway station, otherwise can't say much as the price is quite steep for the facilities in the room , toilet cleanliness need to be addressed

安い、片側３車線の道路隔ててバスターミナルの真ん前（横断歩道渡ると２００メートルくらいある？）、鉄道駅にも近い。駅ナカはスーパーやらレストランが充実。市街へは歩いて行ける。CNN、MSNBCが映りました。ということを評価して５つ星にしておきます。ただ施設が古い、施設内がどこも暗い、となりの部屋の客の壮大ないびきが聞こえた（これはちょっとね）、ベッドサイドにランプがない、といったネガもありましたが、ホステルにちょっと足したようなルームチャージだから良しとしますよ。

It's a cheap hostel and it should be taken into consideration while booking. The building itself is quite old but the refurbishment was done on the cheap. The overall cleanness is poor. The room was very hot and no fan or air-conditioning ( you can rent a fan at the reception). The bathroom is microscopic. There was construction work going on literally outside our room. It's also a noisy street with cars and trams going into late at night.

Beautiful building, decently maintained. Fantastic location that allowed me to quickly head over to the station for a 6 AM train. The washing machine was quite expensive (8 euros!), but I gather this is the norm among European hostels. From my experience there weren't a ton of people gathering in the common space, so it wasn't a great place for meeting people.
