Except no kitchen there, everything prefect. Very nice location.

It's a stylish hostel with a bar restaurant attached, but in reality the food and drink business seems to be more active.
Looking at the reviews, it seems the management has changed since before, and the kitchen for guests that was previously advertised is no longer there, and there is only a microwave and what appears to be a kettle. The outlets in the hallway have also been blocked off, presumably to prevent charging, and the impression that the services offered are not very substantial.
The location was easy to find, and the room was clean. There were no amenities available for rental, and I refrained from using the shower due to the a**osphere.
The private room I rented was extremely simple, with just a bed, desk, and chair, and no hangers or anything like that. It seems fine if you're just looking for a place to sleep for one night.

My wife and I booked a double room in this hotel, which was quite large, and the room door already had an electronic lock!
There is a restaurant on the first floor, and check-in is also at the restaurant counter. Check-in comes with a free drink from the restaurant. The kitchen has a simple microwave and kettle for use.
The shower room is in the basement, and you must pass by the restaurant on the first floor. It feels a bit strange, and men may still go into the women's shower room by mistake. The design of this part is a bit strange.
There is a bar behind the hotel, and it is very noisy before closing at night. Even if the soundproof air-tight windows are closed, it is still quite loud. Moreover, the door bow of the restaurant door on the first floor of the hotel is not cushioned enough, and closing the door will affect the upstairs!

High cost performance. Close to city attractions. Close to the church and main street, not far from the supermarket. The bar on the first floor is very lively. Parking lot is very close

If you need to talk to the manager Apolonia will tell you that "we are not allowed to give out our manager's contact information" so he doesn't know how his/her staff handle customer care. We will not persevere

According to other reviews, this hostel used to have a kitchen (which was ripped out) and the restaurant below plays music till 11pm. Facilities are below par for a hostel - please avoid

Good cheap spot for a night. Definitely had a college vibe to it, people up partying late. The room was nice and big with lots of outlets. The showers were not so great. I didn't mind them being in the basement so much, but it's the kind of shower you want to wear flip flops in, and mine completely flooded out into the main area, luckily I was the only one in there. At least the shower stalls are large!

We were 7 people so tried a few things. Place ok:ish. Dinner was ok:ish too, but only 1 guy was friendly, 3 female staff really rude, looked burntout. Would not go back again, and recommend to eat at Taste instead, the food was much better amd the staff really friendly.

Unfriendly staff, rooms were not yet clean when we arrived at 6pm. Even at 8pm our rooms were dirty and there was blood at our sheets. There was no kitchen at all, only one microwave and a water boiler that’s broken. Terrible expierence.
