Avoid this place!

Avoid this place! We reserved 2 nights there. We arrived at the hostel at around midnight and after self check in we realized that there was a drunk homeless man sleeping in our room. Reception’s working hours are until 23 therefore there was nobody onsite to reach out to. Nobody answered our calls neither. We reached out hotels.com but they were unable to contact the hostel neither and didn’t not provide any emergency support to us. At the end, the hostel has returned the pre-paid fee, however, we still needed to find another hotel in the middle of the night by ourselves. We spent few hours solving this extremely stressful situation, and we ended up paying very expensive accommodation due to limited availability in high season. I strongly advise against booking at this hostel.

Well positioned and convenient for all transport. Within walking distance of almost everything. Possibly too many door codes but McDonalds seemed obliging when using their entrances & exits! Fine, simple and straightforward. Initial entry slightly awkward as no details of door codes etc. received from Expedia until after I had left. I found these after my return home. Others had similar problems but all was sorted out. Not the property's fault.

Good budget stay

Very central one, maybe bit noisy but overwise convinient stay. If you are with family I would not suggest for longer stays unless you have limited budget

Mala comunicación

No se pusieron en contacto conmigo para informarme como debía hacer el check-in. Les solicité varias veces que me lo explicaran, pero nunca me contestaron. Tuve que llamarles por teléfono una vez allí.

nicely furnished and decently clean; well located right in the city centre. the entrance is through a McDonald's restaurant which I found a bit weird but also kind of cool. it's basically self-check in without any reception, but during most of the day somebody can be called over in case of any problems. (I actually did not receive my access information via e-mail as I should have, but the problem could be resolved by calling.)

Tüm kat zemininin ve yatağın gıcırtısından uyumak mümkün değildi. Oda yerleşimi çok kullanışsızdı. Dışardan gelen yemek kokuları yüzünden odayı havalandırmak imkansızdı. Çöpler daha sık boşaltılmalî, mutfak dolabında böcekler geziyordu. Genel dizaynı güzel, personel yardımsever. Eski şehir merkezine, görülmesi gereken yerlere yürüme mesafesinde.

Kuitenkin ihan ok

Huone oli suht siisti. Emme pystyneet nukkumaan kunnolla, koska kerrossängyn ylin kerros oli katonrajassa asti, laita oli matala. Pelkäsin, että lapsi putoaa sieltä. Kadulla oli kova meteli yöllä. Kuumalla ilmalla huone on kuuma. Suihku oli ällöttävä kokemus. Hotellin alakerta oli kuin yleinen WC. Haju oli kammottava. Kuitenkin hintansa arvoinen ja joiltain osin majoitus ihan ok.

Loma

Huone oli ok, mutta hostellissa on vain kaksi wc:tä ja kaksi suihkua koko asiakasmäärää kohti, se on aivan liian vähän ja hankaloittaa olemista.
