Hotel has a bar on ground floor, people talking loud and smoking until 11pm which is a bit annoying. The cigarette smell goes into the room which is unpleasant for non-smoker.
Then in the morning at 7am worker making delivery and also make a lot of noise. So actual quiet time is 8 hours per night only.
Otherwise the room, toilet and shower area is normal for a hostel.
Rene & the Zak team were fantastic, good price value. Perfect location. We will be back!

Non-smoking room smelt of cigarettes - opening window meant significant street noise but manageable levels mostly. Actually part of a bar and that is where reception is. Very basic accommodation and a little tired (definitely could use a refresh of paint/walls as lots of marks etc.) but all critical areas (bathroom, sink, bedding etc.) were clean. Convenient to the train station and for seeing the old town.
Hotel staff is friendly & nice. Smokers in the bar below without ventilation. Smoke was rising to the third floor. The bar area is open from breakfast to midnight (expect the smell of smoke to increase as the day goes on).
The room was very clean and they let us make sure it was what we wanted.
too expensive for what you get real backpackers accommodation with no facilities.

very ordinary
We requested a non smoking room on our arrival we found the door open and the room smelt of smoke that had drifted up the stair case from the bar down stairs.
Not nice for non smokers.
My stay was comfortable and very pleasant, the owner and his staff are so polite and helpful, hostel is in a great location, convenient to commute to different parts, very easy to move about. Also great shops in the nearby areas. Would recommend the hostel to anyone
