Meh
Seems to be a “long term” stay place. The shared bathroom, shower, and kitchen was a bit uncomfortable, but manageable. Clean enough, but you’re really getting what you pay for here.

I made a reservation through expedia. I called the hostel to say O would be a late check-in. I was told no that would be impossible. It is ‘freirabend’ happy hour. So he would not let me in the hostel. Said No and hung up. I had to find another hotel. So i refuse or decline any charges. It was a pay the when you arrive. But i refuse sny fees. Due to poor service.

Freundlicher Empfang, sauberes Zimmer.
In Sanitär und Küche sehr alte, verkalkte Armaturen (z.B. Wassertemperatur-Regulierung kaputt), Geräte (Spülmaschine, Wasserkocher usw.), kaum Geschirr und Besteck, unordentliche Küche, schmutzige Wände - nicht einladend und appetitlich.

Dreckig mit versperrten Notausgängen.
Die Unterkunft ist in die Jahre gekommen. Die Reinigung wird leider sehr vernachlässigt. Handtücher und WC papier muss erst gefunden werden. Pissoir ist dauerhaft abgesperrt und der Notaisgang ist mit Wäsche voll gestellt.
Hostel antwortet nicht auf Nachrichten. Eine Ankunft nach 20:00 unmöglich.
Die Lage ist ok. Eingang aber schwer zu finden

Diese Unterkunft ist einfach Menschenunwürdig. Dafür Geld zu verlangen ist alles andere als korrekt.
