It is a very nice hostel dispite it's outward appearance. The hostel is only accessible from the back of the building which looks bad and the stairway is also in disrepair. However, the office, kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms are possibly the nicest I've been in out of a dozen hostels. All of the appliances and services are modern and you can buy shampoo and slippers.
My room had eight bunk beds but also a couch, a TV, and that section has its own bathroom and kitchen. The staff is friendly and helpful and someone is also standing post. There are also multiple video cameras and a locked entry for asking with a locked door to the bedrooms.
The only thing that some would consider a problem is that the shower only had cold water--that said, I usually showed in the evening, so maybe it had been all used by then. Even so, all that means is you need to take a faster shower and use water more economically.
The location is also excellent. It's the minutes from the main square, immediately next to a tram and bus stop, and close to several product shops.
I would highly recommend this hostel for its price, service, and quality.
