Old town hostel is a rockin’!
Pros:

Amenities! Could play pool or relax in roof top bar. Felt like a hotel in an old town office building.

Cons:

That it was open to the public and the boom boom music all night long. Kitchen was great if you were there for several weeks to cook for yourself but no coffee maker??

Beautiful Rooftop and noisy room
Pros:

Rooftop met geweldig uitzicht en leuke sfeer; daarnaast worden er veel leuke en interessante dingen georganiseerd door het personeel op een informele manier.

Cons:

Extreem gehorig in de nacht; leek alsof onze kamer midden in een nachtclub was.

Nice location, but very overpriced for what you get.
Pros:

Good area, staff are kind and plenty things to book to do in the city.

Cons:

Shower was cold and leaking. It wasn’t repaired after asking multiple times and the room was not properly cleaned, with food rests in the room.

Cons:

If.you want to party and few rest, that's the place. When there is a party, sleeping in almost impossible. Too much noise from the street, day and night. Not very clean the toilets.

Tolles Hostel für partybegeisterte junge Menschen. Wenn man Wert auf Ruhe legt, ist das Hostel va am Wochenende nichts.
Pros:

Das Hostel liegt super in der Altstadt.
Personal war nett. Es gab kostenlose Events, wie Stadtführung oder Salsa/ Bachata -Kurse. Die Rooftopbar mit Pool ist wunderbar !

Cons:

Am Wochenende ist es unfassbar laut 🙈
Unser Zimmer war im 5.Stock, direkt unter der Tanzfläche des Rooftops.. es war als wären wir bis 4 Uhr morgens direkt bei der Party dabei gewesen🙈
Musik war toll… aber Bass und Lautstärke waren nicht auszuhalten..
das Zimmer war sehr eng/ Preis-Leistung aber ok..

Fine for a short stay but not overly exciting.
Pros:

The room was fine. A characterful location. It looked like there was a pleasant common space that I didn't take advantage of. Nothing fancy. No worries, just not very exciting or particularly well-loved.

Cons:

The room was merely functional and a little musty (but fine overall, just a bit drab). The party across the street went all night (on a Sunday IIRC). I was able to get some sleep but others might not be able to in a similar situation.
