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.

Room was good (we ordered a private twin, but got a 4-bed to ourselves, so bonus). Cooking facilities quite limited. The laundry was broken but staff were helpful in finding a local laundrette.

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.

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!

Dirty, but helpful customer service
I stayed a few nights here. When I first checked in, I was given a very dirty all female room. The trashcans were completely filled, the bathroom floors were dirty, the hand towel hanger was broken, and it smelled bad. I went downstairs to complain and asked how often were the rooms cleaned. I kept asking when it would be clean because it would be a health hazard for the women staying there. The receptionist was kind enough to move me to a mixed room that was significantly cleaner.

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.
