It was freezing when you came inside, there was a strange smell, and the service was awful. The pin on Google Maps is in the wrong place too, so enter the address instead.

The food was a problem too. I felt sick more than once, and the lunch bags were nowhere near enough: just a dry roll and a little sausage, with no sauce. In 30-degree heat, we got only half a liter of water each day. The rooms were awful. Our mattresses had stains all over them, the air smelled bad, and the windows wouldn't open even halfway for some reason. One shower was already filthy when we arrived, with clumps of hair that definitely weren't ours. The value for money just isn't there. We were on a school trip, and it felt like a horror trip. I can't recommend this hostel. Photos to follow, they're not for the faint of heart.

We're staying there right now because of a legal dispute with the housing association, and it's been a complete disaster. The women's restroom is filthy, all three of them, and random guys keep wandering around. I won't even get into how little space there is in one of the rooms. I only go there when I absolutely have to. After school, I choose to stay away because I don't feel comfortable there at all. I can't wait to get home; I really can't take it anymore. I wouldn't wish this on my enemies.

The food was awful too. The oven was filthy and full of scraps we couldn't identify. The owner hasn't apologized or said anything like that. I've never experienced anything like it. My son was there on a school trip, and I was shocked by the photos. The mattresses had all kinds of bodily-fluid stains and mold, while the room smelled musty and moldy. The table and floor were dirty and sticky, and there was a thick coating of dust in the closet. The window was almost impossible to open, and the shower and toilet were in terrible shape. After I complained, they just put a yellowed cover over the mattress. Everything else stayed as it was until they left. My first review was deleted by someone.

I can't even begin to describe the kitchen they provide. I've never seen anything so strange. This place is an absolute dump. The bedding was dirty, there was ash all over the washrooms, and the walls and beds were smeared with who knows what. One night was already far too much. This isn't what I mean by good and cheap.
