Would not recommend
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I understand I am in a hostel however, disgusting corridors and stairwells. I had a private room with a friend and the aircon didn’t work in 35 degree heat. Staff were rude and unhelpful

Overall OK. Private rooms overpriced for what it is but staying it the shared ones might be worth it
Pros:

The acomodation is very well located, really in the heart of the old town, easy access to the local restaurant and vibrant party life of the city. Besides that the cleaning lady was very gentle and smiled all the time and was helpfull providing information.

The breakfeast is also really amazing, with great options good food and it starts from 6h30am till 10am wich is great if you'd like to enjoy the day

Cons:

My room did no match the fotos at all. If you book a private one you might be allocated to a random room. The private rooms are in a different building than the rest of the hostel wich for me was really sad since it makes you be and fell more disconnected from the groups. Besides that some of the rooms have really a lot of mold wich was a big problem for me, i requested to change rooms since mine did not match the photos at all, but had to give up since the other rooms had more mold then the one i was stayin

Cons:

Es riecht sehr unangenehm im ganzen Gebäude und den Zimmern.
Es ist alles sehr heruntergekommen und definitiv nicht zu empfehlen!
