    Dirty, in need of a deep cleaning.

    Spacious apartments equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Very warm, thanks to the heater. Friendly staff.

    The place is closer to a small apartment than it is go a hostel. The bathroom could be more clean, specially the tub, which needs a good scrubbing. Regarding the kitchen, there's only one pan and it's clearly overused. I'd recommend the owners to get at least 2 new ones.

    The owners are super nice and friendly, always helped me when I needed. Also, the bed is comfortable and there's lots of space in the room.

    The location is off the main road and a little bit difficult for some taxi drivers to find.

    One of the owners, a woman called little spirit in English, is priceless. She is very nice and warm. Everywhere is very clean, wifi is steady, quietness par excellence. Kitchen to prepare food and lovely cats. I'll give them 90%. This is an affordable guest house, with a supermarket and bus station nearby.

    The toilet could be cleaner, and the position is a bit far away from the city center

    Even though I didn' meet the receptionist, she was kind to allow to keep my backpack in hostel. The price was ok

    The kitchen is very small, so you can cook just one person at a time. Also the location is far from the city center.

    The staff was very friendly, waited for me till midnight for the check in. The rooms are nice, and the kitchen is fully equipped.

    There were ants in the kitchen. The bed sheets hadn't been washed. It was very dusty. Communication to organise payment wasn't the friendliest.

    The terrace was nice to enjoy breakfast. Kitchen had a kettle and 4 hobs. Some tea was left for guests. Flexible with check in time.

    They allow guests to check out after the check-out time, which they shouldn't because of the guests staying there.

    The location of the hostel is good, because it is 2 km from the center, and it is very quiet and there is greenery all around. The staff is smiling, professional, kind, accommodating, ready to help you at any time and make your stay as pleasant as possible. The rooms are large, bright, spacious and tidy, the bed is comfortable. The accommodation is clean and tidy and not cramped and crowded like in other hostels. I am completely satisfied and recommend this hostel.

    The facility is perfect. Transportation to the city center is every 20 minutes, and it is not far away on foot either (20 min. walk). The beds are comfortable, everything is clean, and the kitchen is equipped with all the necessary appliances and dishes. It is an extremely quiet and safe neighborhood. The hosts are friendly and professional, and I received an invoice for the night's stay, tourist tax and insurance. The food near the Hostel is delicious and varied, and not expensive. Cooked and grilled dishes, pastries, cakes and all kinds of dishes have an extraordinary taste. Yum Yum.

    I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist, she speaks very good English and was able to explain everything to me.

    It is extremely difficult to find, very far from the centre, not well signposted, not clear where to go upon arrival. Beds were the worst I've ever slept in because the mattress was awful. The bathroom was always dirty and wet. The bin in the bathroom and kitchen weren't emptied for the duration of my stay. There was no hot water in the shower either. Only 1 hob in the kitchen and not enough pots and pans. Was awoken at 3am by a group staying at the hostel coming back and making noise and then 1 of them proceeding to throw up for 30 minutes.

    Staff were extremely nice and kind. A cute little family of cats live there too.

    There is no hood in the kitchen. Everything else is OK.

    Everything is perfect! The hostel is registered and the price includes tourist tax and insurance. The facility is secured and very safe, because the owner of one of the apartments is the chief of police. A quiet place 5 minutes drive from the city center. Great for a tourist stay and for a break between trips. The beds are new, comfortable and clean, and the space is big enough and comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom have everything you need, and nearby there are many shops, bakeries, coffee bars and restaurants, a pharmacy, post office, ATMs and everything with a quality offer and affordable prices. This is the cheapest accommodation in town and everything is excellent. Parking is within the building. The apartment is on the first floor, sunny and airy. Internet is free and fast with a full WiFi signal. The staff is very friendly but unobtrusive. I felt at home and really rested. Really, all recommendations for this hostel.
