Pros:

Rent og pent. Gode senger og meget stille så sov godt.

Cons:

Det og sjekke inn selv var et mareritt. Vanskelig når man kommer trøtt fram og det er mørkt. Måtte til et annet bygg. Dette må forbedres. Og det var ikke trekt på sengene dette måtte man gjøre selv. Det er ikke noe man har lyst og gjøre når man kommer sent og mest bare vil sove.

Badrummet var inte helt rent. Och lite stopp i handfatet

Bra och ganska prisvärt boende om man hittar dit.
Pros:

Att det fanns eget bad/toalettrum, det är inte självklart för ett vandrarhem.

Cons:

Någon frukost går inte att få! Det är ett stort minus. Rummen ligger tydligen i olika byggnader. Vi bodde i Skytten och att vi hittade dit berodde mer på tur och en viss intuition än den vägbeskrivning som inte tillhandhölls. Man fick bara ett gatuadressnummer och med den förvirrande numreringen som verkligheten bjöd på var det riktigt dåligt att inte i detalj tala om hur man skulle hitta rätt.

Cons:

The bathroom had an awful smell of sewage, Shower did not look clean. Brown/yellow steins. Needed to use something to cower the smell most likely from the shower drainage.

The hostel was OK for a short stay.
Pros:

The location was good and the place was safe and clean. A nice quiet place in the center of the city. The check-in was flexible. The supermarket was close.

Cons:

The room was simple and tiny. There were not enough cups in the kitchen. We had to make the beds. Breakfast was not included in the price. At this price we stayed at a 4 stars hotel in Budapest.
