Overall, the hostel is decent and the staff are friendly
The stairs are very steep and quite difficult to climb.
The bunk bed in the triple room creaks terribly, making it almost impossible to get a good night’s sleep.
It’s also very noisy because of the floors…

I had a generally good stay, but there are a few things that could be improved.
The breakfast was actually quite good, despite looking a little basic at first. At €7, I think it is a bit expensive. One small suggestion would be to start breakfast at 7:30 instead of 8:00, especially for guests who have early plans or meetings.
The biggest minus for me was the lack of hooks and hangers in the room. There was absolutely nowhere to hang or properly place clothes and jackets - zero hooks and zero hangers. For me, this is a basic necessity in any hostel or accommodation, and I really hope this can be improved.
Another big issue is the stairs. I understand that this is a house-style setup, but having to climb several flights of rotational narrow stairs to reach the second or third floor can be quite difficult, especially when travelling with luggage.
I personally don't like hostels that give you the sheets and then expect to make the bed myself. Considering the price of the accommodation, I would much prefer the bed to be prepared upon arrival. The duvet also felt quite worn, and the pillow was rather uncomfortable — more like a pieces of fabrics than an actual pillow.
