    PERFECT DEAL

    Liked : I think for this price having a private room was the perfect deal for me! Walkable distance from many places! Employees were very kind and accommodated my request. I think room was very good for the price as well. I have no complaints and would recommend.

    Disliked : Yes the sound isolation is non existent but i booked knowing this from the comments and me being a heavy sleeper had no struggles with it. Street lights never bothered me unlike any comments as it got pretty dark in the evening, maybe this is due to the position of my room.

    It was a pleasent surprise...

    Liked : They let me take my room earlier because it was empty. The lady was super nice. When I arrived back late night it was quiet, comfortable and clean. Next day I forgot my airpods in the room, the receptionist let me in, and got my stuff. It was correctly priced, great location, nice stuff. Nothing too fancy in terms of the room, but that was exactly what i was looking for.

    Clean, best location hostel

    Liked : Before checking in the hostel, instructions were sent on how to check in. It was an extremely easy entry. The location of that hostel is perfect. It also had large comfortable beds and a clean bathroom. There were also all the kitchenware you could need in the common area. We definitely recommend it.

    Unbeatable price/value for the location

    Liked : The location was just amazing. There are plenty of shops and restaurants just around the corner, there's even a supermarket within 3 minutes walk. The airport express bus stop is also less than 10 minutes away. I arrived after midnight, but it was no hassle to get in with the code that they sent me in advance. The room was spacious enough and perfectly clean.

    Disliked : The room I stayed in had the window just under the street light and there were no window blinds. For me it was not a problem, but those who need a totally dark room better ask for in advance. Also the street noise could be heard occasionally, when loud people passed by. Luckily it is not on a busy street :)

    Clean and worth the price

    Liked : I stayed there 4 nights. The location was excellent. I arrived late in the night and the instructions were clear. The room was clean and cosy. The toilet and shower were very good with excellent pressure. The bed was comfortable for me, unlike what some people mentioned that the mattress was this, but I found it healthy for my spine.

    Disliked : For me everything was fine, maybe little noise from the above apartment.
