Beds were comfortable, the room itself + linens and bedding were clean; facilities are accurately described, they let us keep our backpacks there for a couple of hours after check-out while we were waiting for our train. The communal kitchen also is well equipped, serves as a great social space and the fridge/food system works very effectively.
The showers turn off automatically after about 5 seconds, and you have to keep pressing the button to keep it running. It was fine for us plus we get that it's needed for water saving purposes, just be mindful of that before coming here:) Also the bathroom had a strange wet smell when we entered, but most of it left after our 3 day stay.

It had everything necessary and was very convenient
Only this is the staircase as it gave me a bit of a vibe like I was in a wrong place but once we go in everything was nice and pleasant, well received and responded

That you had to be at the hostel before 24.00, when staying in dorm (sharing with other people). l think it was very respectful.
Bed ok.
Few pieces of free fruit
Rude staff! And only available few hours every day at the property so things dont go to plan, theres noone to help you but other guests. Very unprofessional solution. When l arrived, they misplaced my key and the help number to call was out of order and no staff on the property. l asked an other guest to let me in. it was a chance that someone came to the hostel same time as me. Next day they took away my towel and l had to dry myself with my clothes. Toilet paper was placed on the floor not on the shelf. Staff basically told me thing were my fault even though it was clearly their misdoings..
