    A bit more cleaning effort would generate a more positive experience and rating

    The facilities were good enough, and the staff was nice.

    The hostel was in downtown but its like a 15 minute walk from the bus station Livada Postei.

    The hostel was OK. My room (8 beds) is small and tight but it was OK because there is a curtain for privacy. There is also a big fan so it wasnt hot plus there is a big window that you can see the mountain. The personal was very nice and accommodating. What was also good was there was always fresh towels to use. There is a kitchen for those who like to prepare their food and the bathrooms are decent.

    Bathroom and shower room was not clean. People living (?) or helping there cooked full meals and the smell seeps into the whole building.

    Lockers for personal items were very easy to pry open - they were just secured with a piece of foam (!!!) that could be easily torn by hands No air conditioning- just fan!

    Curtains for privacy on the bottom bunks Quite clean Good location Enough bathrooms

    The property is very dirty. The room nr2 where I stayed have not been cleaned for ages. Dust with something like sand under the beds, floors never washed. Only waist changed and I assume bed linen changed.. also stairs extremely dirty in dusty, kitchen dirty. Only saw bathrooms being cleaned. No locks on doors.

    The main reason to stay is location and price. Fantastic location central with all restaurants and sights. Check in instructions were clear and easy.

    Average age of guests being in the 30s to 40s, no common area, no reception (no one), the alleyway leading to the hostel looks like the one Batman’s parents were killed in.

    The location is great, the beds are fine, the rooms are small but if you have responsible roommates its fine. The price is super attractive and there is nothing nearby that beats it for the price.

    The hostel provides a little comfort and cleanness (sink in the bathroom was full of hair all the day, microwave's handles full of grease etc.). Rooms and kitchen are small and crampy. I would recommend to find another place to stay.

    The price and location.

    The rooms are too hot, not dirty necessarily but not clean, down a very dark alleyway at night but overall an ok accomodation.

    Brilliant location, cheap and clean enough

    It's in the historic center of the city so it's super convenient to wander around to explore the old quarter and come back to rest. I really like the self check in system, which saved me because I arrived super late due to an 4 hour train delay. They also offer a free towel per person ;D

    Excelent place just to crash, but not big spaces in the toilet and on the high beds on the laterals

    • 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    On the toilet you have a very tight space and you can hardly move after you close the door behind you. in the room, if you're staying in an upper bed, you can end up with a plug right above your head which is complicated if you are a big person. getting down from the bunk beds is a little tricky for the last step downwards if you're not balanced enough. The entry to the courtyard could be a little better marked. If I wouldn't have used google maps I would have just pass the entrance in the courtyard.

    They have plugs to charge your phone at every bed, enough room at your feet to even let your backpack (if it's not that big) and pretty easy check in with towel, lock and places to store your belongings. Hot water without any interruption and an excelent price for the position relative to the old city center.

    Need more cleaning especially because it doesn't have a lot of toilets and bathrooms. It was expensive for a hostel, but it was New Year's eve though.

    Very friendly staff. The location is really good, although you need to walk till the end of the place to find the hostel.

    Staff guy was super nice, but couldn't really speak any English, the entrance isn't that welcoming, seems very haphazard, no check-in desk. Not awful, but it was quite disjointed when I arrived. Extremely loud snorer in the room, but that's obviously not the hostel's fault
