The staff is very nice and helpful. They work hard to keep the place clean. However, some guests were not very respectful in the shared areas (dirty dishes on the counter for hours, very loud music, toilet paper everywhere in the shared bathrooms). The bed was very confortable and I was glad to have access to a big locker. The hostel is perfectly situated to easily go everywhere on foot or by bus/tram/train. I would highly recommend this place to solo travellers.
