HI - Tours Hostel

HI - Tours Hostel is very big -- it has about a hundred rooms, but most of them are one- or two-bed, only six dorms with three beds, and only one for four persons. Single and double rooms are twice more expensive. Hostel is not very clean but it's ok.

The Location

It's just a few minutes' walk from the old city, with its beautiful old buildings and loads of cafes, bars, and restaurants with all ranges of prices. There is free car parking not very far from the hostel. Hostel is quite far from train and airport shuttles station (in about a kilometer) but there is a bus station nearby.

Rooms and Bathrooms

Rooms are pretty clean. There is a sink and mirror in every room. Rooms have in-door lockers but there is no personal lockers inside. There is also a large wardrobe. Shower and toilet are common and we can't say it's very clean -- it seems like it's a little bit difficult such a large hostel clean. There are no shelves or racks for clothes in the shower cabin.

Common Spaces

Kitchen is clean and has all necessary equipment like a cooker, microwave, and kettle. There are more than ten tables to give seat for many guests. But atmosphere does not lend itself to chatting. Families with small children stay in this hostel, so it's very quiet. Reception is open twenty-four hours and staff are very friendly. You can find a lot of booklets and fliers with tourist information in reception.

Summary

It's a large and quiet hostel, but not very clean. But it's open twenty-four hours and has reasonable prices even for private rooms, and it's situated near the Old City.
