Host, locality, price

No shampoo in the shower

The hostel is not too big, only a few rooms. This gives a very familiar feel. The staff who welcomed us was super nice. The room itself (red suit, with own bathroom), was specious. Everything was clean, the room itself and the common areas, which included a kitchen. It felt like a lot of people used the hostel as a starting point. We also just stayed 2 nights. Overall a good hostel.

The bed wasn’t in best shape, the leather was already giving up. We had our own balcony but without any chairs, so maybe chairs would we a great add on.

The building looks new.

We were confused because it wasn't listed as a hostel, but it was a hostel. The cleaning staff was present in the afternoon and there was a scent of bleach around, which I appreciate. That being said, the cleanliness is questionable, some things are indeed clean, some are not. For example, the bathroom window had what appeared to be cobwebs. The cupboard handles and the toilet hinges are very dirty. Dogs barking throughout the night, loud cars and motorcycles all night as well. Absolutely no parking available. The host pointed me to a spot directly in front of the address, but it was always occupied.
