Overall, the facilities were very good in this hostel: the bed was very comfortable and the shower great, in fact too hot (which you can't always say). I liked the idea of the curtain per bed as it offers good privacy. I liked the fact that there was a happy hour involving cocktails but only on Tuesdays and I arrived at the hostel at 21.45 pm but had to wait at the check in until the person in front of me had finished so that ended up being 22.00 when the happy hour was over so I couldn't get a cocktail or a coffee as the cafe closed at 22.00 so a little bit annoying. The female staff member who gave me loads of helpful info the following morning was very good. She also allowed me to print a copy of my boarding pass at reception which was handy. Poss improvements: I was disappointed that a basic breakfast wasn't included in the room price (even a tea/coffee and croissant). It would be nice to have free tea/coffee offered to tourists all day similar to other hostels as it's a nice extra. When I checked in at reception, I had to wait about 15 minutes as there was one person in front of me but the conversation seemed to go on for longer than was needed. Then, when I got the card for the room, it worked in the lift but not in the door. One of the ladies in the room opened the door and all said that they all had the same problem when checking in. I had to go back down to reception. You probably need to point this out to the younger staff member (girl) who checked me in.

Disliked: Staff & service
What I like : facilities What I don’t like : rude staff. Inconvenient Luggage storage. You need an automatic button for the storage so we don’t have to waste time looking for key when your staff are always playing hide and seek. Unlike other hotels, reception is always away from the desk. You need someone sitting there for hours.

1) shower (same as in jail) 2) receptionists (mean spirit, unresponsive to contacts) 3) you have to buy food from them. 9 euros above. No kitchen. No outside good.

1) Worst receptionists of all hostels. The guy saw I had been waiting for check in for a while, after he finally came back, he chose to work in kitchen instead. He never lifted a finger to help store luggage. He never bothered to tell me anything else other than room number. 2) The first time I ever heard from a hostel that to borrow a hairdryer you need to give your ID to receptionist (woman). My ID is worth more than 10 euros. 3) the shower is same as those in jail. 4) bear in mind, if you come back late at night, the bus can’t come because the bridge is blocked everyday at certain time. 5) their entrance has stairs. 6) overall everyone here is cold and rude. Else is ok.

The hostel was clean and comfy. It’s a 15 minutes tram ride to city centre which is very convenient and there are CCTV/lockers available so it’s very safe too. Only issue seems to be that you share 2 showers amongst I’d imagine ~30 people when the hostel is fully booked. That said, would highly recommend and the stay was very nice!
