Amelia, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location, bad service!

Uncomfortable bed, self-check-in with no help, especially when a problem arose, such as the system being down when we arrived for check-in, with a large crowd trying to check in and no one to help. It took us over two hours past check-in time to get in. Definitely NOT RECOMMENDED!
Tomas, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect central city location, right next to the cathedral and train station. Modern room, clean, comfortable beds, kettle and small fridge, modern bathroom and WiFi. No manned reception, but very responsive via email when we had a query. 5 flights of stairs to our room, so do be aware! Would recommend. Only small problem was shower pressure/temperature was intermittent at times.
Katharine, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Personally would not stay here again. Check in process was horrible, there were ants all over the bathroom and the railing for the top bunk was completely broken. Good things about the stay is it’s in a prime location and the beds were surprisingly comfortable.

The environment and the cleanliness

The only con was the check-in, since the passcode is only released at certain hours.

2/10 Poor

Never again

Bad experience I ever had traveling true the years.
Richard, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The stay was okay/good. We were a little bit unsure that there was no night reception there. You just feel safer and secure when an employee is in the building. The blutetooh Box and Ipad didn't work.
Fatouma, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

personal too rude, too expensive for what they offer, it smells bad
Salud, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Check in is a machine on the wall. Not user friendly. No lift. We were on the third floor and there is another floor above. Shower cubicle was ridiculously small. Complementary tea/ coffee/mineral water and some juice very welcome.
STEWART SCOTT, 4-night trip

Mr

The check in was a nightmare. The informing email was not clear. Lucky to have other guests help me fix out. The room was much small than the pictures on Hotels. Smell and stuffy! And the steep stairs killed me as well. My room was in another wing. The instructions hided dedicatedly !
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The beds are 2m long and the bottom one is closed on both ends. If you're tall (I'm 190cm, 6'3"), you can't really stretch out. It's not as restricted on the upper bed if you let you feet hang off the end. The shower doesn't have anywhere to put your soap or other supplies. The supplied body wash and shampoo bottles are clearly meant to be hung from the wall, but there is no place to hang them. The only place to put them is on the floor. Automated check-in was simple and quick.
Howard, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty coffee glasses, pillows are smelling bad, no luggage storage but they mentioned that they had... also check out is 11am and at 10 am a lady came knocked the door and said 'elf elf elf' it means eleven in german, I checked out at 10:15 because of that HOSPITALITY(!).

Inna, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Das Zimmer wird für bis zu 2 Personen angeboten, was aber hierfür definitiv zu klein ist. Ein Kleiderschrank gab es nicht, so das man aus dem Koffer Leben musste. Platz zum abstellen des Koffers gab es nicht ausreichend, damit diese nicht im Weg stehen. Jedes Hostel bietet hier mehr Möglichkeiten. Der Ventilator auf dem Zimmer bringt auch nix, da er seit Monaten nicht gereinigt wurde.
