The reviews told me the chances of getting bed bugs was likely. I did get bed bugs. And am now attempting to deal with this which continuing to travel. The actual place was okay but they need to fumigated. If you are ok with bedbugs it’s an okay place. Otherwise. Be warned. Also. The staff were not friendly or helpful in any manner. Basically did the bare minimum and did that under sufferance

fui a una habitación individual y aunque modesta era bastante amplia, las camas digo lo mismo modestas pero muy comodas. El personal que nos atendio muy amable y dandonos facilidades para todo, el dia que marchabamos nos dejaron que dejaramos alli bajo llave el equipaje hasta que quisieramos pasar a recogerlo.

Es de los Hostales más grandes en los que he estado. El único inconveniente que tuve fue que los baños quedaban súper lejos de mi habitación. Más de 100 metros para llegar al baño, creo que me quedaba más cerca el de recepción.

お世話になりました!

2回目の利用。シーツはチェックアウトの際にまとめて受付へ持って行くルールがある。 受付から部屋までは迷路のようだけど、部屋の名前がドアや廊下にも書いてあるので従っていけば大丈夫。 遅くにチェックインすると同室者の人は休んでいたため、翌朝準備してシャワーを利用。 スタッフは気さくで、私の上手くない英語でも会話してくれた。

とにかく安い! 共用シャワーは8台位合ったので、混み合う事もなく助かりました。 キッチンは広くて電子レンジやお皿等は借りられます。 バスタオルはレンタルで€1はコスト、€5はデポジットで、チェックアウトの際に€5は戻ってきます。

Good enough

The location is good, the receptionist is nice and the kitchen is well equipped. The only bad part was that we were 18 in a room so it got very crowded and noisy.

◼︎良い点 ・朝10時過ぎに到着したが、嫌な顔ひとつせず笑顔で手続きを行ってくれ、チェックイン時間まで手荷物を無料で預かってくれたので身軽で観光できた。 ・スタッフが常にフロントにいてくれて安心、対応も良い ◼︎良くなかった点 ・部屋は常に空調が点いていたが、カビ臭かった。 部屋自体が臭いのか長期滞在してる人のリネンが臭いのかは不明。 ・同様にシャワールームもカビ臭かった。清潔感はあったが、、、。

Okay for a hostel

This is a busy hostel. Sort of feels like a bed factory. You get what you paid for, and that’s it. The mixed form is very new to me and I don’t think it should exist. No ambiance and bathrooms were poorly equipped.

Güzel bir konaklama

18 kişilik odada kalmama rağmen hiç bir pis koku veya rahatsız edici bişey yoktu. Odada iki tane klima var ve sürekli temiz hava veriyor.Yataklar rahat ve otel genel olarak temiz. Merkezi sayılabilcek bir noktada yürüyerek 15 dakikada ana meydana gidebiliyorsunuz. Bidaha gelsem yine burda kalırım garip bir şekilde sevdim. Bagajınızı çıktığınız günün gecesine kadar ücretsiz saklıyolar. Fiyat performans gerçekten iyi bir hostel.
