4/10 Poor

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
If I were backpacking across Europe this might have been tolerable. Otherwise, pretty bottom of the barrel. Let's start with a locked entrance door to the street, covered in graffiti. First you have to use the intercom to buzz into basically a low rent apartment building. The hostal is located on the 4th floor (lower floors are apartments): no lift/elevator. 3 of our 4 people had rather large roller bags which needed to be lugged up (& back down) 4 flights of stairs. The rooms were tiny & old but clean & functional; so decent low budget. Stay were friendly & bi-lingual.
