I booked a room for 30 people, and it wasn't crowded at all. We had a view of the castle from the window. There's a safe, but you need to bring your own lock. It's very close to the Dog Cemetery. The ground floor is a bar. My only real complaint is that there's no communal kitchen, so we couldn't cook, even though the platform said cooking facilities were available. I hope the platform takes note of this.

Very good living choice, very close to the train station, there are two small supermarkets next door, the supporting kitchen facilities are very complete, convenient for cooking, the service staff can also be very good, you can also store your luggage for free, the only regret is that you will check out at 10 am

It's a really good hostel. It's absolutely out of my expectation is my first time to stay in hostel at first I thought it would be very dangerous or very messy and it turns out that the room is really safe and clean and cute. I booked an en suite and the bathroom was really tidy and lovely and the floor was clean the wall paint well and the toilet was clean and I booked a female only bedroom it was really nice and the safe they even offers breakfast so I would definitely recommend this to every female, especially young female..

The staff were nice, the bed and the toilet was clean. However, the bathroom was dirty. The sleeping experience depends on the people in the room. Mine was bad because people in the room with me was loud even at 11PM. There was a bar on the ground floor. There was also a kitchen for people to use which was nice. Do I recommend this? If you're saving money, yes. But i recommend bringing slippers to be more comfortable and a lock for your bag for safety.
