Budget Accommodation

The place was really for the budget traveler. Extra for towels sheets. Several flights of stairs, not for the elderly such as us. No heating, we had to sleep with our clothes on to keep warm, no soap just an empty dispenser. There was a shared kitchen which was a plus.

The host walks you down a haleay where people are smoking indoors. Unlocks a room and points to what bed is yours. After you look on the floor you see a bib cockroach! And host quickly makes you go back to the loby to avoid the problem at hand.

Basic but nice

Classic hostel, the bed in the share dorm is basic, nothing special, each has their own reading light and outlet, no bed curtain. One pillowcase and two sheets are on the bed when you arrive, one of the sheet is mean to be as blanket (summer time), but there are also thicker/warmer blankets in the room that you can use. It would be better if the bathroom has some renovate. The front desk staff was super friendly, I felt very welcome.

If anyone just needs to stay for the night, then this is ok, but it depends on the type of room. As some washrooms in a few rooms were not working, there was a lack of water in the toilets. Although they offered other washrooms to use, those that were near to the rooms were not working

This is the worst place I stayed last years. I felt like in prison again, the only difference is raht you are free to leave it at any moment. It is cold, dirty and uncosy. Restrooms frightened me. Bad ventilation. Dark lobby.

Although the staff was EXCELLENT the whole hostle experience sucked... I only needed 4 hours to shower and set my luggage down it ended up costing me more than a fancy hotel and they even tried to charge 12€ for the use of the shower and clean towels, it cost me 22€ from the train station and then 31€ from the hostle to the bus station 4 hours later plus a 10€ fee for late check-in due to the immigration stop between France and Italy that resulted in a 2 hour delay of my arrival. My advice is to beware of hostle and their hidden fees.. in my case a stay at 4 seasons may have been a better deal price and comfort wise, but the staff was amazing.

Not worth it: out of the way and a drag

The hotel is difficult to get to and very out of the way of the city. The staff were sort of friendly and spoke English very well, but they were very unhelpful with guests. It was really pricy for the inconvenience. The room itself was standard, but not for the price you're paying. The wifi was quite bad too, only working in the lobby.

Filthy mattress, paid for a room but it was downgraded with not partial refund. They charge you for sheets, for the locker, for the towel and they charge you for dobious tax, and you do not know in advance if you reserve online. The mattress does not have a cover and you can be exposed to catch something ugly. Can't believe it is allowed to stay open!

Stay away!

Terrible. Absolutely terrible... No AC, ditry and noisy. People are smoking inside and I found ashes in one of the drawers. Check in later than time for check in - the check in time was set to 15.30 and I was told to wait intil 16.00 because they were "cleaning" the room (the room and especially the bathroom was not cleaned at all!!!). Not posible to open any kind of window because the only window in the room was placed in the loft (good design when it's raining - be alert of water in the room if you have the window open while it's raining).
