I am here in winter and it really is quite bad. There is no heating in the hostel whatsoever. There is a room with a sheet of plastic down the middle to separate the "kitchen" and "shower room." The sheet of plastic doesn't even go up to the ceiling. Look elsewhere and ignore the great location.

There wasn't 24-hour reception, and I didn't like this place at all. I don't know about other times, but the showers were cold and crappy. One girl got an electric shock from her shower. I have nothing to recommend about this place except the friendly daytime attendant, Maria, and the central location.

There is no 24 hour reception -- it is only staffed for a few hours a day, other times you need to call someone. There are no free lockers and no international TV. This is a pretty ordinary hostel, and not at all like what they advertised. The only advantage is that it is close to the centre.
