Great location and price for a private room. You get what you pay for, facilities are run down, and i was checked into a completely uncleaned room (was moved to a clean room without any issue)

6/10 Good

You get what you pay for - to an extent, with this one. Cheap room in a superb location. Relatively clean but facilities are befitting the price - poor decor, cracked and loose bathroom floor tiles, a travesty of a zip tied shower, poor room ventilation and a general condition of something you'd expect for the lowest local price. Set your expectations low, then go lower. If you need a place to crash - perfect. If you need functional facilities and a pleasant environment go elsewhere.

2/10 Poor

When we arrived nodoby was there and the option was to make a phone call if you do not have roaming (I came from Argentina) because the cost of having activated the cell phone is so expensive is a complication Being said that, the floor was dirty, the floor of the room the same, Take a shower was so difficult because the whole floor was flooded HORRIBLE

Peggiore doccia della mia vita.

Hotel decadente sotto ogni aspetto. Le condizioni del bagno peró sono state la cosa peggiore! Il pavimento era deformato, le pareti piene di umiditá, la doccia aveva la tendina ammuffita alla base, piatto doccia non pervenuto e l’acqua faticava a scendere. Lasciate proprio perdere.
Matteo, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nothing worked properly. Dirty room with no or only very little clearing. The Windows almost fell out of the frames. The staff was unfriendly/arrogant. No service what so ever. A really bad experience.

Totaler Reinfall!

Das einzig Gute an diesem Hostel war leider die Lage. Das Zimmer mit 2 Betten war sehr karg und ungemütlich eingerichtet. Die Betten waren sehr schmal, der TV funktionierte nicht. Das Bad hatte weder einen Duschvorhang noch warmes Wasser. Man hat sich total unwohl gefühlt. Aus diesem Grund haben wir uns etwas Neues gesucht. Leider hatten wir 2 Nächte für umsonst bezahlt. Sehr ärgerlich!
Annett, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Although the staff member that checked me in was very nice, helping me find a place to lock my bike on the property, the poor condition of the building and rooms was very concerning. A review in German on another website said there were bed bugs here at some point, and though my inspection didn’t reveal any, the grime under the bed and general condition and smell of the property did not provide any reassurance. Simple maintenance things like properly functioning faucet valves, paint touch ups and more thorough cleaning would help. I don’t recommend this place.

There is no wi fi. There is a TV in the room but it does not work. Why is it there? There was someone’s garbage (tampon and q tips) left in the toilet bin when we checked in. The place was not cleaned thoroughly. The showerhead was messed up, it just spewed water at you. Again, no wifi in the rooms. In one of the hallways it smelled like sewage. The building is pretty decrepit itself from the outside and needs to be torn down. Not suitable for a even a hostel. Nobody at the bar when check in supposedly is, at 5pm. I had to go to a neighbouring hotel and ask to call the hostel as I did not have cell service for someone to come to the next door bar where check in is supposed to be. There is no reception except the bar next door that doubled as reception but they do not seem to know much about the hotel or the surrounding area. The toilet flusher button was a nail in the wall that you had to push to flush, there was no button. If you need anything extra you have to call a specific phone number and as I did not have cell service this meant that I could not request anything. Like I said, this place needs to be torn down as it is not suitable for even a hostel. The photo of the hostel on the website is not the building that the rooms are in. The rooms are in the white building adjacent, with the paint coming off, next to the Victoria hotel. Do not be fooled by the false advertisement. The photo of the red brick building is the top of the bar where the check in is, not the hostel.

Das übelste an Unterkunft was ich je erlebt hab: eingecheckt wird in einer Bar, was soweit ganz gut war, weil ich um 23:00 ankam. Danach ging es durch die Bar einen dunklen Flur einen engen Treppenaufgang hoch, man musste hier sehr aufpassen wo man entlang geht. Der Flur roch schon sehr modrig. Das Zimmer an sich war unterirdisch. Ich hab das Licht gesucht, welches nur teilweise funktionierte und dabei mit der Taschenlampe versehentlich unter das Bett geleuchtet, wegen der Steckdose - Fehler…. Staub und Dreck ohne Punkt und Komma. Die Steckdosen an der Wand alle schwarz. Das Fenster lies sich zwar öffnen war aber so defekt, dass es sich nicht mehr schließen lies. Es blieb drei Tage und Nächte einfach auf. Direkt vor dem Fenster scheint eine Bushaltestelle zu sein und Motorräder drehen hier auf. Die Musik der Bar darunter ist Ohrenbetäubend auch die Musik der Bars daneben bleibt einem nicht erspart. Nachts wurden ebenfalls irgendwelche Flaschencontainer geleert. Es waren drei sehr schlaflose Nächte gewesen. Und nun die Krönung das Bad: Schimmelparadies und zwar nicht nur etwas in den Fugen sondern auch der Duschvorhang war regelrecht mit Schimmel überseht. Das Wasser kam nur spärlich und das Bad auch nicht so wirklich sauber geputzt. Es roch alles sehr modrig. Nie wieder! Einzig gut die Lage könnte zum erreichen von den Sehenswürdigkeiten nicht besser sein!

Keep the exits clear please

The hotel is what it is, to a point where it's almost comically charming. Toilets seat strapped with cable ties and graffiti on the bedroom wall. However, for at least two days one of the hallways that also serves as an emergency exit was blocked by a large trolley and different building materials that were stored on the floor. In the (likely) case of an evacuation that's just dangerous and unforgivable.

Humorboost

Rein seng og rein vask på badet. Sentral beliggenhet for oss. Vi har ledd i fire dager av pussige løsninger. Kommer aldri til å glemme disse dagene på dette rimelige overnattings stedet. Med humor innabords og lavhelte sko var det en opplevelse å entre korridorene. Koffertene ble båret opp til rommene av personalet. Nøkkelsystemet var enkelt å forstå. Kommer gjerne igjen.
Med sans for detaljer. Så lenge det virker er alt greit.
