The location is perfect and the place is pretty clean (I guess they read the reviews here), we booked a "comfort room" meaning that we had the room for ourselves. The room was spacious, no more furniture than needed and the bed was very comfortable. 

The hostel looks like a reconstructed attic, the work was nicely done but there are some problems with the project and execution. The whole place is made of drywall, and you can hear everything everywhere, specially doors opening and closing, that woke us up more than a couple of times during the night. The bathrooms - i.e. the shower place -  are really tinny, and its an impossible task not to get water everywhere. The shower itself could use a little cleaning of the limescale so it wont spray water all over the place. Anyway, some stuff bothered me, but maybe that's just me getting old.

All in all, it's good, way above the average hostel I've stayed in

Placed in the city centre, which is nice. Otherwise- dirt, dust, mold in the bathroom and a room, no light bulb in a bedside lamp, stale air and no comfortable way to open the window in a room- and no hot water. Due to their website there is towel and a breakfast included in a price- did not happen. I find the price high considering all these details. They did not respond to my email.

Do not recommed!

At first, you have to realise that this hostel is very very cheap. Most of the times you know you shouldnt expect the world of it. 

With that being sad, this hostel is not even reaching the poorest expectations i had. Not even a kind of price/quality balance. Bed was broken, under the bed was a big pile of trash. Worst of this all are the showers and toilets. Looks like it hasnt been cleaned for a year. 

I would recommend looking for a slightly more expensive hostel instead of staying here!

Very cheap, very dirty

Classic scam, I do not recommend this place. We’ve arrived at the end of check-in time. It was tight, but we were there in time. There was just closed door and that’s about it. Nobody let us in, nobody picked up 4 (!) calls to the mobile number provided. Nobody (ever) called us back, not even the next day. Our request for refund was denied. The person responsible probably left way ahead the end of check-in time and did not even try to wait until the end of check-in time or inquire about two pre-paid missing quests. 

Nobody let us in

Very shortly, if tou are low on budget go for it. But remember you get what you pay!!
So what does not come on the pictures shown on their website... 
It is a roof top apartment with small windows, a little claustrophobic.
Kitchen- is just a bench with a hot plate, does not offer you condition to prepare a meal. 
Lounge- two very uncomfortable "sofas" the atmosphere is so uncomfortable that no one speaks to each other.
Room- bed with broken boards, one little window, light switch is outside the room and there is no table lamps, not comfy or pleasant to be in it.
Bathroom- well well well... one word disgusting!!!! Couldn't even wash my face or use the toilet. 
Could easily noticed that there was not a daily housekeeping to any part of this hostel.

What is not on the pictures

Do not stay here. Things have not changed since the earlier reviews. We've stayed in lot of cheap and dirty hostels but this is not cheap enough to be this dirty. Bathroom floors are sticky from urine and every surface is dirty as hell.
