Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The location of this property is right in the middle of the red light district and was unsafe. Thieves, street prostitutes, drug dealers/users just outside the entrance. The place was noisy both inside and outside the property. Other than the reception area, the facility was below average. Overall, this was by far the worst place I have stayed in Europe over the past few weeks.

This the worst place I ever stayed. I didn’t even sleep in the room. I waited in the lobby until it was time to leave for my flight. I didn’t feel comfortable but the three young men in the room were friendly.

Stayed here 2 nights. We had a great time the first day, no issues. On our second night we were getting ready for bed and found around 10 bed bugs in both beds. Went to the front desk and was told they were all booked up and since it was night shift they couldn’t refund us. They gave us no alternatives so we had to sleep on the floor. The next morning the staff was very remorseful and gave us a refund for our stay. If it was not for the bed bugs we would have had an amazing time.

The (short) walk from the train station to the hostel was a little concerning, but the hostel is very safe, clean, and friendly.

I book the top floor, for a single room. People stay at dorm bed will come to the top floor, use its space for playing guitar, personal stuff without permission. In the middle of the night, 12:15 am, someone will break in my own. I told the staff, they did not think it was a big deal.

Budget hostel and thats what get for what you pay; staff could be a little bit polite and welcoming. Personal observation is that, rooms lack ventilation (no windows) to hel air circulation and so, I couldn't sleep inside my alotted room.
