“Got out of there as soon as we could.”
+The location was nice and the bed was comfortable.
−It was extremely dirty, smelled disgusting. People were living there for months so it was like coming in to a communal housing. Things and personal items were layed out everywhere, you did not even have a space to put your bag. The smell in the rooms were horrendous. Someone told us that the night before we arrived a homeless man slept in the bed we were supposed to stay in, because they never change the code to the property so he was able to sneak in. When we came back during night time people were smoking weed right by the entrance. The only positive thing about the hostel is that the beds were comfortable, however there was no curtain for cover.

−Place stunk of weed all the time. Staff was around and did nothing about it. Meant to be quiet time after 10 but definitely wasn't. Checking in is a mess. Not a great place to stay to be honest.

“Nice people but cleanliness needs a big improvement”
+Great location, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Seemed like a proper family vibe there.
−The whole place was so dirty and smelled terrible including the bedroom. The bathroom had no toilet paper and the tap and toilet were broken. Some beds had curtains and some didn’t. I also confirmed a late check-in and was told I’d receive further instructions and never did (however this was resolved by a phone call with the owner). I understand that it’s a budget friendly hostel but they really need to improve the cleanliness

“A hostel that felt more like a home.”
+The community feel and value for money are the reasons I give this hostel a 10-star rating. I found it exceptionally easy to make friends while staying here and always felt comfortable and safe. The dinners being included meant I often sat and chatted to different people in the hostel every evening. There is also a small group of people who live in the hostel long-term; they have made the hostel feel more like a shared home than a hostel. I will definitely be staying again. Thank you Mirjana for the hospitality.
−The property itself is an old and run down building. This genuinely didn’t affect my stay. Additionally, the owner was in the process of renovating the facilities during my stay.

“Meget ulækkert”
+Det var billigt og der var aftensmad, sengen var god, og der var varmt vand i badet.
−Det var ekstremt beskidt, faktisk klamt, der var rod over det hele, for gammelt mad i fælles køkkenet, og folk var lige glad med renheden, inkl. Ejeren. Folk røg på hotellet, og folk rullede joints på værelserne, du kan ikke få garanteret et skab, da det er først til mølle. Meget lidt plads på fælles arealerne.
