Summary: The hotel in itself is beautiful, the staff is nice, vibe is mellow. Epic staircase and old pretty building. Great location. When we first saw our room we were pleasantly surprised at how pretty it was. However, once night time came around it was not so pleasant anymore. Cigarette smoke was coming in through the window, doors were slamming loudly from the corridor, people downstairs in the courtyard could be heard very clearly (echo). The slanting mattress and the springs which could be felt through the fabric didn’t exactly improve the sleep either. I was so irritated I got up in the middle of the night and booked a new hotel, even though we had already paid for the next night. Needless to say, this is not the place for you if you are light sleeper and don’t appreciate passive smoking. And this was just a Thursday. Weekends must be absolutely horrible.

Summary: It was fine. It was easy after check in…staff could maybe be a little more ‘aware’ or ‘sympathetic’ but this is minor.

Summary: Classic backpacker but actually quite quiet. Double room clean and comfy, bathroom good, interesting building features add to the cool factor.
Surprisingly welcoming for a couple of "oldies"

Summary: The receptionists were super friendly! The kitchen was being painted, so they had pots on a table, and I was surprised to see the fridge so full of bags considering there weren’t that many guests. They should organize the kitchen better. As for the room, I can’t complain — there were four of us with a private bathroom, and the mattress was very comfortable. The location is right in the city center. I liked it!

Summary: The staff at the hostel were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant. However, the hostel itself was very worn down and in need of serious maintenance. The facilities felt outdated, and some areas seemed a bit neglected. While the hospitality was great, the overall condition of the hostel could definitely use some improvements.

Summary: Room and bed comfortable but small with nowhere to put your things. Shower curtain was not wide or deep enough so water went all over the floor. Shower nice and hot. Kitchen a little chaotic in the evening with other guests not clearing up after them.
