We stayed in an apartment and we loved it. We would stay here again. Fab location. Great staff. Especially great for young people but worked well for us over 40. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. It was nice to have coffee for the morning. The bed was comfortable and a good size for two adults. The only thing to improve is temperature control. The room faced east and warmed up the big windows fast and there is no A/C. So we managed ok balancing working the blinds with getting fresh air. It would have been nice if temperature were easier to manage in that apartment.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very conveniently located, with the downside that it was exceedingly noisy at night. Room (slept in a shared dorm) was quite warm, and the bathroom facilities did not smell amazing, although they appeared clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and the building itself was quite nice, and I felt safe staying there.

First solo trip stay. Was a bit skeptical leading up to it however pleasantly surprised since the room was fab. Bunk bed was comfy and I fit being 6’4”,cubby hole to stash stuff with two usb ports for charging or a book etc. Showers just down the hall were clean and the shower had plenty of pressure behind it. Hostel bar downstairs was good fun to have a bit off a social. The location was great, on a metro line or a short walk from Alexander Platz (10-15mins) with good food options around the hostel Would stay here again totally

The location is good, close to public transportation. I reserved single room, smelled bad, no ventilation and they don’t open the doors, since they don’t clean it or bring towels every day. No power outlet near the bed except loose USB, that keeps disconnecting.
