Awful
Absolutely horrible. Don't waste your money. I slept only maybe thirty minutes or an hour the night I stayed there. Groups of people were extremely loud outside the building yelling and screaming and coming inside at all hours of the night and ringing the doorbell. People would knock on our door even though there was no one else staying in the room and scared us! The sheets were dirty and had hair all in them, so I slept on my coat. The bathrooms were old and dirty too. The lady that runs it seemed creepy and the whole place is just really questionable. Better to stay in a B&B for just a little more than what I paid for this dump!

This hostel is a nightmare! During the day it looks good, but at night the trouble starts. There are only drunken men in this hostel, there is noise the whole night, and all night there is somebody is ringing the doorbell. The wardens are scary. My boyfriend and I were totally frightened and left the hostel after a sleepless night. In the morning we realized that we were the only travelers in this hostel. All the other guests were drunken and dirty old men, maybe homeless guys. We paid 20 euros each — that's too much for this horrible place! I will never go there again!!!

This is a good hostel, not expensive and well located. It's a great place to meet new people. It offers a kitchen for guests, it has a common room with sofas, and they give you a clean towel for a shower for just one euro. The rooms are comfortable and big enough, clean, and most of them have six beds. The only problem would be the timetable for the hot water! It's only on until 9 or 10 p.m. This is a good place to stay. Be sure you book in advance, though, especially in the summertime.
