Great location, near public transport, a train station, and grocery stores. We had a 3-bed room, a very comfortable and clean room, you will also find a washbasin, mirror, and big lockers in the room. We got clean bedsheets, pillow covers, and towels. The toilets were quite clean all the time. One can cook in the kitchen, you will find a lot of utensils and some free essential products as well. Enjoyed being here with my friends.

Liked • The location was great, close to the tram stop, walking distance to the train station and to the lake. There are also a few restaurants in the area as well as a grocery store. The staff was nice and we were lucky enough to be upgraded from a 4 bed dorm to a 2 bed dorm.

Disliked • There were A LOT of older men (+50) and honestly a lot of them looked homeless (they have a partnership with an association for temporary housing for homeless people called La CausE). There's also an organization I was lucky to be traveling with my partner and had someone to help me feel safer but would not recommend for a solo female traveler. Also on the first morning someone (who I hope was staff) walked in to our room at 7am, causing us to wake up in a panic as we were in a 2 bed room and should be the only 2 with a key. Our room was also right above the entrance and it was super noisy until 2am as people stay there to smoke and chat with their drinks. The room was also extremely hot and there was no ventilation at all (weather was between 23-27°), i wouldn't want to stay there with warmer temperatures.

Don’t recommend it, the hotel in general smells very bad, rooms are outdated and beds are uncomfortable + charging ports are positioned in the worst places. Restrooms are dirty and you don’t get any amenities like shampoo or soap to clean yourself. Overall although it’s a cheap hotel I would rather pay a little more and have a more pleasant experience in other hotels. Only good thing is that it is near the train station. Again AWFUL SMELL (like vinegar) everywhere

I was in the 3-bed dorm which was spacious enough for 3. The locker could even fit in my snowboard bag which was a great suprise! Hostel is well located in the city - near the train station, but on a quiet road.
There wasn’t much communal / cooking space, but this wasnt an issue for me.

I felt like I was staying in a homeless shelter for older men. I didn't feel comfortable hanging out in the common areas and ended up leaving early and finding another place to stay. This hostel is basic with zero charm. I would never stay here again. There's a much better hostel five minutes away that includes breakfast that accommodates actual travelers.

It is ok, however it doesn't have air conditioner so beware during the summer. I wasn't prepared for this.

In general the place is good. Perhaps a small improvement for the beds. They made noise when you moved. Since I had the room facing the street, there was a big "special waste disposal pit" that woke me up at 6am. I couldn't sleep after this. It looked like the engine of an airplane when it was going to take off.

Very poor for the following reasons
1. Too noisy with thin walls, thin glass in the windows so you can hear absolutely everything outside.
2. You have to make up you’re own bed and are handed your bedsheets on check in.
3. You have to strip your own bed in the morning and take sheets back down to reception.
4. Check out is 10am which is just ludicrous
5. No plug sockets to charge phones
6. For all the above issues you’d think it would be cheaper… no it was €80 for 2 of us.

Don’t be fooled by positive feedback others have given, they just couldn’t be honest.

I can’t think of any positives other than it’s close to the train station.
