    Receptionist only speaking russian and also the check in gave an overall impression of old soviet times. Friendly but not easy-going! They charge extra for the shower which I didn't expect. Better to add it to the price than charge after ! It's definitely a minus for me !

    The rooms are clean and have enough space. Comfortable beds.

    The receptionist spoke only in Russian even though she was quite friendly. The payment had to be made with a bank account transfer (which was okay and smooth).

    A walking distance from the centre, good price. The common kitchen had spacious refrigerator/freezer systems.

    The place is good value for money, enjoyed the peace and stay in the rooms

    WiFi on the first floor was terrible, but second day was in the second floor and it seemed to be much fair.

    The location is perfect near the Pergi Kuskus mall, which makes it easier to access. And the Reception lady was amazing and helped me settle in the hostel. On your left there is a park good for relaxing and enjoying nature.

    It isn't much, but it is quite enough for the money. The location is great. Room was clean. Staff helpful. Decent canteen, which is open from 7AM is a great bonus!

    We had the last room in the 3rd floor, which had wery bad wi-fi signal. Beds could be more comfortable.

    The room was good, clean. There was an undisturbed night ind this hostel.

    Cheap and late check in available - not the most comfortable stay
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The night attendant didn't speak English at all, so we had to communicate through Russian-via-Google-Translate... There was no shower in the room (I was aware of that - just a sink and a hand towel), but no access to the shared bathroom was offered (maybe because of the language barrier), only access to the kitchen. Be aware that there is a few stairs from the parking to reach the room (no lift).

    The room was cheap and I had the good surprise to pay 20 euros (and not 26 euros) because I was alone in a room for two. The night attendant was there for a late check in (a bit after 23:00). I parked my car for free without any issue.

    Nothing was bad.

    The building looks like a block of flats but the hostel is very decent inside. The room was big and very clean, more than I had expected from a hostel. The staff was very friendly and hospitable.

    Disappointing stay

    Staff only speak Russian, some are more helpful than others, some refused to use Google translate and communication was very difficult. I had booked a room with private bathroom but on arrival was taken to a room with a toilet and no shower and had to pay extra to get a room with a toilet and shower, which took a long time to communicate, in the end I just paid the extra fee to save any more hassle. They would only accept cash and wouldn't allow me to pay by card, so had to walk to find an ATM. Checking in took over an hour so beware.

    There was still availability at short notice, probably because people didn't want to stay there unless they had to.

    People who talk on hallways/sound isolation of doors (but maybe its just my problem i wake up at 9 haha) There aren't any really, Water of shower is warm!

    It truly is the best hotel ever for this price! In 2 years of hotels you truly get more 'then you pay'. Absolutely 'under qualified' (actually deserves 5 stars) Its very safe and easy with card systems so no keys!

    Disappointing

    • Stayed 1 night

    Checking in two people took roughly an hour and was a celebration of inefficiency, from never-ending discussions on how to fill guest registration forms to a prolonged negotiation on where to park bicycles (for which there is an extra cost, which is quite unique but totally okay). All a friendly process, but unbelievably over-bureaucratic and complicated for no reason whatsoever. Mind, if you travel without bicycles and with a local (=Baltic) identity card, it's probably somewhat faster - though I wouldn't expect much.

    The place itself is okay - basic but fine. Location is a good 10 minute walk from the central square where you find cafes, bars, shops. The immediate surroundings aren't very nice but fine. Rooms are okay, of decent size, comfortable

    For this price - couldn't have expected more! The walls are not particularily soundproof, but if you are familiar with that kind of architecture, you know to expect that. To be honest it was probably us bothering others with our laughter, but no one complained so.. perhaps the walls are not too thin after all.

    For this price - couldn't have expected more! Nothing was especially luxurious or new, but everything was very clean. The receptionist was friendly and there for us even at 1am. Left her some chocolates.. hope she got them :)
