Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hostel's central location, making it convenient for exploring the city and accessing public transport. Many reviewers also highlight the affordable price, which appeals to budget travelers. However, there are repeated complaints about cleanliness, including issues with bed bugs and unclean facilities. Service receives mixed feedback, with some staff described as unfriendly or unprofessional. Noise is a concern for several guests, especially due to thin walls and loud surroundings. Overall, while the hostel is valued for its location and price, improvements in cleanliness, service, and noise insulation are needed.
