The room was clean, albeit a bit small. The walls are practically paper thin so bring a pair of noise cancelling headphones. Despite the noise, it is a perfectly nice place to stay and relatively inexpensive, as well as being in a great location. If you are on a budget, then it is worth staying here.

Now called Old Town and not Kastali, I found the hostel to be in a great location, quiet despite the being well occupied, the rooms fine, and the bathrooms kept clean the entire time I was there. Pretty nice, actually.

Had to call the number by the door on arrival, the guy who answered was very helpful and easy going. The fact that I had to call was very annoying as I didn't receive the code for the door initially..

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed for three nights, but the room was not cleaned during our stay. There was no staff available at the reception, and the coffee machine on the ground floor was not working. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. There are shared bathrooms, which was not mentioned on the site. It was my worst and most disappointing experience, I would not recommend this hotel to any of my known.
