The castles and museum, and laundromat within 10 min walk and also supermarket and cafe within 5 min down the road. Miguel the host was very helpful with facilitating my early check in and since the room was available I was able to put my bags down and wander around the city. There were also tea making facilities, microwave, and fridge (though was full) and outdoor seating area that you could eat out on and you can request an iron and use the tumble dryer for a fee. The room was big and the property was very clean overall and had a very comfortable stay!

The walls were very thin and not the fault of the property but my neighbours alarm was going off every 5 mins for 30 minutes since 5.30 AM in the morning and you can hear footsteps and talking very clearly.

Location is simply perfect. It is 1 minute by the old city center, 6-10 minutes by the university, 10 minutes by the castle. Everything was super clean and forniture is modern and beautiful. We haven't actually tried the breakfast (you can book it the evening before), but seeing the others it is a reach breakfast for low price. I worked remotely from the hostel and passed almost all the day there, and I really felt at home

Sometimes after they clean all the hostel, it appears a strange smell of old tubes in the hall, but it disappears after a while

The room was pretty small, but it was clean and comfortable. WiFi worked great, the showers worked well. The service was friendly. There was a common kitchen that you can use.

Listing says free parking, but the street didn't have parking available. I parked at the paid parking lot nearby for a day.

Very homely. Think a couple with a kid live on top floor but I may be wrong. Couple of nice Iranian guys may be staying for a while. Tv with some English language channels.Spacious dorm with portable heater.Comfortable enough mattresses.Quiet location.Outside area.

Beds a bit squeaky. No sound insulation to the other dorm. Fridge items need labelling and clearing out.

Modern, clean, excellent location. Appreciated the espresso coffee. Well equipped kitchen. Wonderful clean linen and big soft towel. Good location.

Hot in upstairs bedroom, no AC. TV non functional. No instructions to use it. No reception person. Outside key box tricky. Pillows too high for neck. Not a problem at all.

I was given a nice welcome by the staff, everything was explained including how to get in and out of the building after hours. The room was as expected, a little small but fine for 1-2 people travelling together. The bathroom was shared, as expected, but I never had to wait to use it. I didn't spend much time within the hostel but everything was fine, and I had a nice quiet night as other guests were respectful and there was no street noise. I appreciated having an electric fan in the room.

The only things I can think of would be to repair the hole in the ceiling of the bathroom, and to provide a towel rail or somewhere in the room to hang up towels after use.

Very cozy place, cleaniness, very close to center. The hosts are charming, too!

One fridge for the whole apartment is definitely inadequate. I would recommend placing at least one fridge per floor, to the main halls.

The breakfast was really nice and the atmosphere too. The teenagers that travel with me aprecciated very much the staff kindness. Me too. The bathroom was permanently clean and attended. They pay attention to every detail related witrh cleanness.

We booked a Double Room, that was fantastic, and a bed in a four people dorm. Very good quality according to the price, but it could be even better if somewhen in the last few years they change the maitresses of the Dorm, as mine was too soft.
