pleasant experience, good value
hostel experience - but a single solo room. the room itself was top notch and way better than I expected. it was clean, very good looking and the table for working could fit two laptops easily. bed was ok, very clean but a bit too bouncy and soft for my taste. but tastes may vary of course.
the public toilet on the corridor had door handle and lock mechanism very clunky and almost broken. was surprised the towel wasn't included in the price and since my check-in was very late, I could not get a towel. so a very important detail was lost in the messages. shame.
overall - pleasent experience for a single room single traveller. good value for 65 euro per night.

No staff service whatsoever. I did not get a code to get into the room or the hotel. Nobody responded to the texts and calls. So I was stranded with two kids with us for the night. Kids got nervous and cried, it was a hectic and terrible night for my family.

They cancelled my reservation at the last moment, but kept my money. Refusing to refund. Staff very unhelpful and very slow. I wanted to say "you get what you pay for", but in this case I paid money and got nothing. So my sincere recco is to stay away from this shady place.

Mukava vierailu
Hyvä hostelli ydinkeskustassa. Mukavat yhteiset tilat ja verhoilla eristetyt makuukopit jokaiselle. Kaikki toimi automaattisesti, en tavannut henkilökuntaa. Mukaan oma pyyhe, jonka voi vuokratakin, sekä munalukko, jos haluat tavaroitasi lukkojen taakse.
