Bedbugs! Homeless person sleeping in hallway of building location. Noise all night from the bars. 15 euro for a member of staff to call a cab. Good location.

3 stars, if you want to save money and just sleep. Its a good option. Its a hostel so you have to share the bathrooms which are not very clean.

Good location but noisy environment
Centrally located in the Old City, however, brings your earplugs because the night life in the bars and clubs around goes until early morning

They skimp on everything! No heat, they give you an extra blanket, that's why all the guests are cold! Mattress in room 4 needs to be replaced! Female Russian staff member so unhelpful. Check in is not welcoming; took me 25 minutes. I could not wait to get the hell out of there. The only good thing was the warm shower

A hostel, nothing more
If you have no choice, you can stay. But not worth the money for a single room (26 €).
You have to call on the phone to get in (what if my battery is dead). The greeting is beyond friendly. Every time the light goes on in the hall you see it in the room.
Also can be loud in the street, from passing by drunks, as in the middle of the oldtown. Which makes it also a good location if you look for this.

I turn up and know one was there. Then a guy walked out said he work there and let me get in and walked down the street to not return. So I left because the place look not welcoming at all. And no one was there to check me.
Huone kohtuu siisti ja kelpaa yhden yön nukkumiseen. Henkilökunta todella töykeää.

Asiallinen majoitus
Hostelli sijaitsee ihan Vanhan Kaupungin ydinkeskustassa, vuosisatoja vanhassa talossa. Hostelli oli siisti, puhdas. Samoin huone ja vuode puhdas, hyvä nukkua.
