The only thing ideal about this place is it's location. It is very close to subway stations and central toany interestng spots. However the room is absolutely terrible. It is almost the worst hostel I have ever stayed at. I think the whole building was something else before converted into a hostel and the owner did absolutely minimum to make it a functional hostel. To start, there is only one power outlet in the whole room where I had 4 people. There is no locker in the room, you will have to life up your bed to put stuff in and no way to lock it. Ad if you want to leave your luggage at front desk they charge fees. There is no bed light, USB charging in the room or by your bed at all. Frankly. There is only beds in the room. Nothing else.
Many people have to stay super late in the lobby just so that they could charge their phones.. how terrible.
Do not stay here.

Very nice location, just 10 mins walk to the city centre. But the facilities was just ok, no hair dryer and not much space to place the luggage. But overall, the experience is ok with this price.

I have been around the world many times, I have never seen such a deplorable place such as this one
An extremely rude and fake two-faced woman will check you in….
If you can avoid her there’s a really nice guy that works there also.

If I could give negative stars to this Hostel I would. I have traveled around the world seven times and I have NEVER seen such a deplorable and EXPENSIVE HOSTEL LIKE THIS ONE.
THERE IS NO AIR-CON.. It looks like it used to be a warehouse as there are poured concrete walls. With Horrible incandescent lighting it’s difficult to navigate you way around.
NO outlets to charge your phone except for one near the window… for FIVE people to share.
Beds are VERY uncomfortable as the are just mattresses on METAL frames!! No joke I could make this s*^t up!
NO TOWELS (unless you pay €4)
NO SOAP, NO shampoo…
The showers are like being in jail…. The water doesn’t stay on unless you constantly push the nozzle. The shower stalls are covered in mold and everything looks like you’re in some type of institution.
If you are a group of 2-4 people just split a hotel or find some other accommodation because this place literally is “Motel Hell”.
I am writing this review within less than an hour of checking in as I am not in that hostile and I don’t want to spend any more time than I need to in there.

The hostel is in the city centre and close to the shopping street which is both good and bad. It’s close to a food market so I can eat the delicious food everyday but it’s also noisy at night. In addition, the room only has two electrical outlets which is not enough for four ppl and there is no small lights for each bed. Although the room has an individual bathroom, it’s located outside the room which is quite inconvenient.

The photo shows that there are curtains, but there are no curtains. There are too many people smoking on the balcony, so the room sometimes smells like cigarettes. The staff are very friendly and nice. The kitchen facilities are only a toaster and a microwave. If you ask for cutlery at the counter, they will give it to you for free. It is a bit hard to find because it is in an alley.

There is no toilet or bathroom in the room, but there is a shared one on the floor that you have to use. It is dirty and smells a bit. It may be difficult for people who are obsessed with cleanliness.

In short, a place that must improve several aspects, the showers smelled bad, there were pests in them, a very unpleasant type of mosquitoes.
The elevator was very dirty, the place looks like they wanted to give it an abstract style but it gives the appearance of being neglected.
The lockers do not have security if you want you must buy a padlock.
The rooms did not have air
Don't stay in this place if you're looking for a little cleanliness, you're going to have a bad time.

Toilet and bathroom are shared.
There are separate rooms for men and women, but I was a little worried because there were times when men would enter the women's room. Other than that it's great.
The location is great, especially since it's just a short walk from the main tourist spots!
