地下鉄駅からも近く、大通りから横道に入ってすぐなので、夜遅くに宿へ戻るときも安心でした。

I recommend this place for affordability and location. Much cheaper than a hotel, and the double bed-room was comfortable. Some of the finishes were a little worn, but for a hostel, I can't complain. I recommend for solo travelers.

Mein Zimmer war im Keller es hat bisschen komisch gerochen aber war noch okay. In meinem Zimmer waren wir 14 Leute bzw gab es so viel Betten und es gab nur ein Badezimmer sehr wenig für so viel Leute. Küchen Ausstattung als Frühstück war Nix besonderes Instant Nudeln, Eier ,Toast, Tee, Kaffeepulver und erdnüssbutter. Für so 3 Nächte ist eigentlich okay. Ich finde das Hostel kann auch renoviert werden bisschen damit es besser aussieht von innen. Es gab ein laundry Service das ist gut.
Very bad experience
We did not expected, since it is different with booking scores and picture of room
The quality was low and might suitable as a student room
