    The pillows and mattresses were not very comfortable, but acceptable. The entrance is accessible only via a long and steep staircase, meaning the building does not have a barrier-free entrance; though this was not an issue for us.

    For a hostel, the accommodation was quite comfortable. We stayed in a 5-bed room, just the two of us, and there was a bathroom nearby with separate facilities for men and women, as well as a spacious kitchen equipped with everything needed. The plumbing, furniture condition, and cleanliness of the room were all good. The bed linen and towels were not new, but clean. Free Wi-Fi was available. Access to the room was possible at any time, and the entrance to the building was secured with a personal magnetic key. The location was excellent—on a relatively quiet street very close to the city center, with free parking nearby. The doors to the common areas have a soft-closing mechanism, which prevents slamming and adds to the overall comfort.

    Haunted hostel - no people, old facilities; but price was good for the location

    The communication was mostly in German, orientation in the building is a bit tricky. The room was a little sad due to state of the furniture, and only one power socket for everything. I saw scaffold through my window (lucily no construction workers peeking). It seemed I was the only person in the hostel, all empty and silent. No kitchen facilities, at leas on the 1st floor. Far from the station.

    The place of the hostel is rather central, near the castle and a tram stop. It was easy to get in (everything is done contactless), you already have sheets and towels in the room. Bathrooms were clean.

    There is no parking space, but you can sneak between the locals cars in the residential block of flats nearby :)

    I got a 5bed dorm as a single room. Simply accommodation on a budget. Common kitchen, good WiFi and close to the center.

    The fact that you share the bathroom and toilet with other people is not good.

    The location is perfect. It is good value for money. Comon areas were clean and in order.

    The only problem is that the shower rooms have no lock and you have to pay attention that it won't open on its own.

    I'm all alone in my room, everything was cleaned with the kitchen and toilet on the second floor. I enjoyed my stay so far.

    There is no reception in the building. You have to find your room alone by trying your key in all the rooms. They left me only 1 towel for 4 days, which was supposed to be used for everything. The room has only one electrical outlet located next to the door, so it is impossible to use the phone or laptop in the bed. As well, there are no reading lamps near the bed, but only one ceiling lamp whose switch is also located next to the door. The shower is freezing, since there is no door locking it. The free WiFi does not work well.

    nothing negative 😉

    the hosel No 5 exudes a rustic charm. but for the price, close to the center, within walking distance to shops/cafes/döner kebabs, many sights, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It is absolutely clean everywhere. There is a lounge, a courtyard for smokers and a well-equipped kitchen on each room floor. 👍
