Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
It exceeded our expectations! Nice staff, clean enviroment, super central. Very much worth the price!
Location was very good and beds reasonably comfortable. Was rather loud in the room with window right on the street and staff/others being loud outside the door, but can’t expect too much better for price

TOO noisy room, there was a constuction in front of the location
It's a nice place. Clean and well care for. It has a restaurant and a bar. Not to mention the good location. You find supermarkets and trams stations nearby.
Perfect location well heated facility. Could do with less spider webs in the bedrooms, otherwise ok.

It was a great experience for £10 a night toilets shower kitchen lockers with key pub downstairs friendly cheap bear 2 pints £2.25 krona trains and transport outside 10 minutes walk to the xmas market and old town loads of cheap places to eat all within 5 minutes walking distance a kebab and pizza 🍕 shop directly outside not more really you could ask for
Excellent central location, within easy walk of both the old and new town. Plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, bars in the immediate area.
Rooms were spacious, regularly cleaned and airy. Useful kitchen for cooking/eating.
Only -ve is that if you have a bed by the window the street noise from the trams can be disturbing, but not overly excessive.
The hostel was not portrayed honestly on the website. Our private room with private facilities was in fact in an apartment with shared bathroom and kitchen
OK for the rate charged; but the ca do little fixes for better reviews: Fix shower-room’s door locking mechanism.
Main door was hard to open from both the inside and outside. Many times the electronic device did not work with main door

Ok overall. Potentials for improvement though
Knowing it is a hostel, it’s fine. However there should be either more bathrooms/shower rooms or fewer beds. There was one shower and one bathroom for 12 people, including the private room.
Also, the soap in the bathroom was always empty so we would need to go to the shower (or the kitchen) to was our hands.
On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a cash deposit for the stay (which is fine) that is returned upon checkout and also a deposit for borrowing towels (which was not asked of me at all).
Lower bunks have a privacy curtain but the upper bunks don’t so you’re screwed if you get upper bunk and when I asked if i could change beds, they couldn’t because apparently all the beds were booked even though one in my room was empty. Also there’s zero ventilation (safety concern??) in the room so the room was so hot despite it being spring, and imagine 6 other guys in the room, how bad it would smell.
