Chambre très bruyante à 6 manque d'oxygène élévation du gaz carbonique par les 6 occupants qui empêche de dormir , superficie de la chambre trop restreinte, des ronfleurs abominables, pas fermé l'œil de la nuit . Un individu faisait sa prière sur un tapis dans la chambre. Ceci est inacceptable vis à vis des autres occupants! Seul le petit déjeuner et le hall d'accueil était bien PLUS JAMAIS JE NE VIENDRAIS DANS CETTE ETABLISSEMENT SORDIDE!

Likte meg veldig godt på dette hostellet, jeg lå i «den gamle delen» med nydelige store vinduer, god takhøyde og komfortable køyesenger. Men gulvet knirket utrolig mye. Flott at frokost var inkludert og veldig bra service fra personalet. Anbefales!

This hostel did the job as a safe, clean place to sleep for the night but I wouldn’t book again based on the vibe. It had a quiet, clinical atmosphere like purgatory that made it feel weird to talk to other people. The common areas were sort of spread out and fragmented, and the main area to spend time outside your room had the air of a very quiet airport gate, with spread out seating and fluorescent lights. They also have you make your own bed (in my case an upper bunkbed) which was unfortunate because I got in at 1am and others were already asleep in my room. Might be worth it if you’re going to save a lot of money.

Séjour d'une nuit en dortoir

Bien que la température des dortoirs soit légèrement surélevée en été, je garde une bonne impression générale de mon séjour. Les réceptionnistes se sont montrés accueillants, à l'écoute de mes diverses demandes, et le niveau d'hygiène global est impeccable. Enfin, le petit-déjeuner est copieux et diversifié. Merci encore !
