**Noisy hostel!**
This is on me as I didn’t read through the reviews properly and just saw the “exceptional” rating on hotels.com.
Pros and cons:
+ location! It’s right on the edge of the old town, and has a tram stop right outside
+ clean.
+ modern
+ coffee and (I think) tea available all the time and a comfy common space to use and sit in
+ hostel provides towels
+ friendly staff
- it’s right next to a tram line so every time a tram comes past the building the whole building shakes
- it’s above what I would presume is a club? The bass and music just continued until almost 5am. Even with ear plugs I found it very difficult to fall asleep.
- Walls are PAPER thin. I could hear my neighbours conversations almost word for word. All the noise from the corridor is heard easily.
- only 2 showers and 2 toilets for the whole place (as in 2 male and 2 female). But I imagine if the place is fully booked that’s really not enough,
- duvets were RIDICULOUSLY thin. Think height of summer, barely stay on you as they have no weight at all. Beds very creaky but comfortable enough, pillows felt like a lumpy cloud. Needed two to even elevate my head (thankfully there were 2 available as I was alone in a double room).
- felt very…. Sterile? It used to be an office building which is very clear, but the rooms are very basic, no artwork, no personal touches, nothing that gives it any soul or makes the place look nice
Overall decent. Probably wouldn’t stay again because of the noise though
