Checking in was easy. Good English spoken. Lobby is very pleasant. Room was clean and above all quiet all night. Shower was lovely. Temperature perfect. Price we paid was really good value. After a reasonably late arrival on a Sunday we found plenty of eating options very nearby.

Ok hotel but room was small.

Staff were very helpful from Reception to Repair team. Hotel was in good location near shops and transport. The room was a small double with en-suite. Bathroom was great . Large and modern. There was little space around the beds which probably accounted for all the marks on the walls.The room was showing signs of wear and tear with patches on paint, holes where hooks and hangers were missing so needed a refresh. The rooms down the corridor were being refurbished so maybe this room is on the list. Would stay again but ask for a twin rather than double.

They should activate all the bunk bed charging sockets. It’s burdensome to have to move to another corner to be able to charge one’s electronics. Other than that , it is an excellent place. I highly recommend it.

The hostel is nearby to Oktogon metro station and tram line 4 and 6, few minutes walk. Shops, restaurants nearby, pharmacy next to it. Hostel is nice, receptionists are friendly. I was able to check in earlier. Didn't try the breakfast /bar. Single room is comfortable and clean. Unfortunately some guest made noise in the night time.

Slowest check in eveerrr. Took 30 minutes cause their system was down. Room was a decent size, had shelves, hangers, blow dryer etc. However, the floors were dirty. There was a musky smell in the washroom. Good location . Hair dryer provided. And really nice and hot water in the shower ! However, super noisy from main courtyard.

Checked in at 2:30 am with no issues. The man on the desk dealt with us quickly. Overall all the staff were so friendly and spoke good english. The room was clean and very nice. Towels were provided and a hairdryer. Body wash and hand soap is provided. The location was perfect, it was about a 30 min walk away from the famous spa, 10 min walk away from good bars and about 20 min walk away from st Stephens Basillica which from there is a walking distance to the famous bridges, parliament and other land marks. It was not noisy at night. Overall, the the price was amazing i would definitely stay here again and recommend this to others!
