Private 6 bed room was dirty, with food debris in corner and no soap in dispensers. Asked to be cleaned on first day, never cleaned. Kitchen so dirty unusable during entire stay. Breakfast very basic for expensive price. Very hot rooms with no air con. Staff dismissed concerns. We did visit during F1 weekend but surely they would expect to be busy.
Very close to the Graz Train Station. We arrived at midnight and staff were great at welcoming us. The place was well decorated and stocked with snacks, beer, etc. in a nice and cozy lobby. Will definitely stay again when I need an early morning train.
For a budget hotel this place is excellent. I booked a private room and it's perfectly clean, cozy enough and great bathroom. Just be prepared to make your own bed for this price of course
Very good value for money, walking distance from Graz city centre. Hostel staff gave us some recommendations to visit in the evening. Comfy beds. We were able to park for free down the street as on Saturdays there is no charge after 1pm.
Nice stay right next to main train station. A bit expensive to park the car but then it is a city centre location! Staff on the front desk were very friendly and efficient.

It was cheap and location was good, and the room facilities were adequate. But the communal kitchen was filthy. And the service was pretty average too. Lots of guests checking in early in the morning and disturbing the sleep but I guess that's hostel life.
Good location. Room is clean and spacious. Bed is firm and comfortable but the pillow is too soft for me.
Soundproof walls but you can hear sounds from the corridor clearly through the door.

A&O 😂😂 Nothing special 😂😂😂 many people but for 1-2 nights is ok
Nice staff but the hostel itself reminded me of a prison cell. It was very depressing and also the guests at the property all looked like they hadn't taken a shower in at least 2 weeks. Thers the l
Second stay at this hostel. Overall good, but they used to have lockable lockers in the room, which they’ve now removed, unfortunately. Hope they will bring these back. The windows didn’t have curtains either, making it difficult to sleep.

Room was functional but not the most comfortable. The real issue was the reception and checking in, I had to scan a QR code and register at reception, then the receptionist rudely asked me the same questions, I think he could have just read them off my passport that I handed to him in the first place. He then said I have to sleep in bed number 1, making me concerned I have booked a shared room... I was in a single room with one bed. Unneccessarily rude.
I stayed in a few budget hotel brands this week and unfortunately this was the only one where I felt uncomfortable.
Disgusting, dirty, unfriendly staff and black mould in the shower and in the air vent. Even my towels had fungus and rotten food on them when I tried to shower and dry. NEVER AGAIN.
We did a last minute booking for a family with two kids under 5. They liked the playarea in the lobby and bunk beds. Other than that...everything kinda sucked. No parking, you have to make your own beds, slow service ( only 1 poor guy working...he was nice though stressed as he is also the waiter), super cramped rooms, water in shower was like a mist rather than a spray...we were thrilled to check out. However for the price i could see it appealing to solo or budget travelers. For me..not again unless desperate or wanting to save money.
The black man at the reception it's literally the most rude receptionist I've ever encountered, not only he was giving bossy orders but also was giving incorrect informations.
The place was also quiet smelly and dirty, when I arrived I found above my bed a pack of used tissues. Rooms are very noisy as directly by street and train station, windows should be locked by key to avoid the noise but are not.
