Pretty basic (expected but very small for one person, not sure how more could fit as there were 3 bunks). Could smell people smoking (not cigarettes). Room spray was heard and sprayed after smoking.
The 'manager' was extremely rude, unhelpful and generally unpleasant, had no customer skills whatsoever, threatening not to book you in for whatever reason, ordering you to wait in certain areas. Cramped dingy the property seems to be a disaster waiting to happen with steep narrow stairs and packed with people. Very unhygienic with a cat sitting on top of bench top in small kitchen eating area. Very noisy - St noise. Only positive thing I can say is bathrooms were passable. Just don't stay here.
Booked a double room with ensuite. Check in went smoothly and the person working reception gave us some recommendations for things to do and places to eat. There is no lift and the stairs are steep and narrow, so beware if you have heavy baggage. We dropped off our bags (around 6pm) and the cleanliness of the room was questionable, but we were hungry so we went out. Returned after midnight and were getting ready for bed when we saw them…bed bugs crawling on both mattresses. (Thankfully we hadn’t left anything on the beds despite the small size of the room!)
Reception did move us into a triple but it was so cramped and uncomfortable that we couldn’t stay both nights and left in the morning.
In terms of facilities and hygiene, it was very bad. I was on the fourth floor, there was no elevator, and the water in the bathroom was problematic and it was not possible to take a shower
The guy in the front desk charge extra money because he said we book in this app, and is cheaper directly from his site, so this is not a good idea to book in the future

You get what you pay for.
Bunks stacked 3 high. Sleeping like sardines. Property is far from city center. Id probably pay a little extra to stay somewhere else
First off the guy refused to take my credit card cash only but I showed him on website where it said they accepted credit cards but he said no! Then I went on a run because I didn't exchange my money and there was no atm in the area at all an hour later I paid. Went upstairs and I was applauded....it was dirty the staircase was dangerous I was in a room with 10 guys I left. I booked another hotel and left the man at front desk yelled no refund. He could care less that I was unsatisfied....100 euros I wasted...stay away
I had to check in late in the evening and run to the ATM to withdrawal enough cash to pay for the room up front, but once I got settled, everything was fine. I've had a more community experience at other hostels and this one felt more like a hotel - which is fine. The only other thing I would note is that the after using the shower, it was necessary to use the squeegee on the entire bathroom floor due to the way it was setup.
