    "I recommend there but not in the weekend." source Hostelworld

  • Clean: Rating of 2.5 out of 5

    "of course very basic, but clean, good location (though not in the middle of everything but within a 10 minutes walk)." source Hostelworld

    "Our room wasn't clean when we got there and they argued that it had been cleaned the very same morning." source Hostelworld

    "A very basic hotel but the room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable, what let it down was the fact I was put in a room on the ground floor and as such was disturbed every time some one came in the front door and then in the morning the noise from the breakfast room also disturbed me." source Venere

    "ton clean the room." source Venere

    "black mold on the ceilings of the bathroom need to be cleaned before somebody is killed." source Hostelworld

  • Location: Rating of 3.5 out of 5

    "For the price that includes a basic (but much appreciated) breakfast I found this hotel to be excellent price wise the location is also very good as it is pretty much a straight line from Central Station." source Hostelworld

    "I had to walk a lot, but for the price and the breakfast is ok." source Hostelworld

  • Room: Rating of 1.5 out of 5

    "I really didn't have much of a problem with staying there (we were only there for a couple nights, & i can put up with funny smells and dingy rooms for that long), but they charged me 4% for using a credit card to pay when checking in." source Hostelworld

    "I can only comment on the double room which is basically a cellar filled with a double bed. It is not the same as in the photo,every footstep can be heard from above,people entering/exiting adjacent rooms,totally misinforming front desk staff,no credit cards only cash and upfront(no wonder." source Venere

    "the first day they told us that our room it wasn t ready because some pipes was broke,so we stay one night in a really small and really dirty room. the other day our room it was very good." source Hostelworld

    "Had to change rooms for some reason which sucked because the stairs are so steep. Lady at reception made us check out first instead of just moving our bags to the new room." source Hostelworld

    "one key for a room of 8 i found strange, cause it meant most the time we left the room unlocked, and the stairs gave me a workout whenever i had to go up them." source Hostelworld
