Old Courtyard Hostel

The beds are comfortable, the showers have a good range of temperatures, and there are plenty of cooking tools. For the price, it’s good. It’s only a ten-minute walk from the train station, with staff there around the clock and check-in available at any time. That’s handy if you get off the train at 5 am, though it can be rough for people sleeping in the room. There’s no water filter, so you’ll need to buy water or hope boiling it is enough.

The location is good, and the rooms were okay. I stayed about a week with friends, and we slept well each night. There’s a small locker for some of your things. The in-room bathroom and toilet were cleaned every morning, though how long they stayed clean depended on the people using the room. The kitchen could be neater. There’s only one fridge, and it was hard to find room for our things. I also didn’t like having an open bin right beside the food preparation area. Still, it wasn’t a bad hostel.

I spent two weeks here during the war. The beds were clean and the right size, there was hot water, and the kitchen had everything stocked. The Wi-Fi dropped now and then, but it wasn’t a big deal. Alcohol isn’t allowed, which helps keep things quieter and cleaner.

The location worked well for us, close to the train station, but we didn't have a good stay. The staff weren't very welcoming or friendly, the shared bathroom was really dirty, and there was no hot water in the shower. The room and kitchen didn't feel cozy either.
