I liked it was close to where I was attending an event,liked the free dinner although quite spicy hot the night I had dinner so not sure if that’s usual or I just got unlucky as not a huge fan of spicy food,maybe when you register for dinner they could let you know what it is going to be ,dislikes that I didn’t get email directly from them it kept coming through Expedia which made check in a drawn out process and a hassle late at night and on top of that the bed allocated was being used when I arrived in my room although they sorted it pretty quickly,the old saying is you get what you pay for

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Extremely dirty, fridges are dirty, one stove and one microwave for the whole hostel, about 5 cups and 5 glasses, impossible to have a coffee or a drink during the meals. Not enough tolilets, no soap, showers are broken. 3 days in a row the dinner was the same schnitzel + rice, not expecting much for a cheap hotel with the dinner included (last only 1 hour, 6.30 to 7.45), but they can vary it a bit. Wi-Fi doesn't work well in the dining room. As there's no staff on site is imposible to get help when you needed. Beds are super uncomfortable.

Nasty carpets and bathroom, kitchen was always dirty and with a wet floor, stuff was never at the reception if you needed help or just for check in. Breakfast was finished before the writen down time and limited (2 toasts p.p. And 1 bowl of cereal p.p.). Stuff came into the room so many times it got annoying (to check the beds or change toilet paper for 3 times in 10 minutes). Yes, it is cheap but i there are better places for almost the same price
