Cheap but filthy
Pros:

Cheap, close to a train station and supermarket.

Cons:

FILTHY! The floor of the room was absolutely filthy, I found a broom in a nearby service room and cleaned it myself (aftermath on the picture). There were strands of hair under the sheets. Plenty of mold growing in the bathroom. No body/hair soap in the shower and no cups in the room. Power outlet close to the beds did not work. Leaving the windows open during the day is guaranteed to leave the room stinking of cigars thanks to the bar on the first floor. Toilet in the corridor was incredibly tight.

Pros:

You pay what you get. The room wasn't terrible, shower was pretty good. It was cheap and it was an ok place to pop your head down.

Cons:

The cleanliness could be a lot better. Floors were really dirty and the bathroom (which is shared). Just stank of urine. Nothing to do with the staff but clearly other guests are not considerate of others.

Niet volgens verwachting
Pros:

Voor mij was locatie belangrijk

Cons:

Gemeenschappelijke toilet op de gang.
Enorm benauwd.
Ik had de kamer recht boven de ingang van het café en door de warmte moest het raam open maar daardoor hoorde je de gasten van het café tot 1.45 h luid praten en rook je de sigaretten.
Dit terwijl mijn wekker om 4.25 ging.
Er werd gezegd : er is tv op de kamer . Dat klopt want die lag op het bed en heb ik zelf in de muurbeugel moeten hangen om er vervolgens achter te komen dat er geen signaal op de kabel zat.

Buen trato y silencio nocturno empañados por una limpieza deficiente
Pros:

Lo positivo del hospedaje, el hombre de la recepción, que en realidad era en la barra de un bar, muy agradable por cierto, y también podría rescatar lo relativamente cerca que estaba del metro. Aunque haya un bar debajo del hostal, por la noche no se escucha nada, la zona es súper tranquila.

Cons:

La habitación estaba sucia (suelo-muebles) las sábanas y ropa de cama no olían mal, pero no se veían limpias, igual sólo estaban muy viejas, pero evité meterme, dormí encima del edredón sin taparme; de la ducha y sobre todo la pica del lavabo (estaban dentro de la habitación) y del WC compartido, casi mejor no hablo, pero he visto baños de bares de "mala muerte" más limpios que eso. Resumen: Puedes tener un negocio austero y ajustado al precio, pero al menos debes tener un mínimo de limpieza.

Pros:

The owner in the bar was super friendly and helpful,she buy me a beer and answer all my questions

Cons:

The room was dirty and you have toilet with no toilet,just shower
If you want toilet you have to go in the coomn toilet outside the room
I'm not complicated but you can do much much better with the location
