+ Great location and lounge area. Clean kitchen and bathroom.
− The rooms had no place for bag storage, however we did arrive late and left early so this maybe didn't help? People also kept hiking boots in the room so it smelt really bad all night which was rough...maybe a boots of at the door rule?

+ The hostel was in a great location, very close to the city center and the train and bus stations. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.
− The bathrooms were quite small, with very little space to change. Guests were advised to use a specific bathroom that had hot water, which fortunately I was able to use without any issues. Also, there were very few power outlets in the room, so we ended up plugging extension cords into other extension cords, which can be a safety concern. It would be great to have more power outlets available in the rooms.
