the basement is a nightclub that will shake the building and blast music all night. its also next to another which will do the same.
the building is ancient. the pictures are fake. probably digitally touched up. the rooms are not clean. the carpet in the halls is to hide the holes in the wood. the ancient paint is peeled off.
the lockers imaged have no locks. the baggage room is public, not secure.
many listed ammenities are false advertising. no haidresser (oh no), no laundry. filthy mouldy showers are avaliable but no towels. There is no air conditioning. some rooms have ceiling fans. the kitchen is bad. filthy, no equipment is clean, no hot water. the elevator is ~100 years old, is faulty, slow and tedious to use. There is a 'rest area' of dirty couches, it looks nothing like the images (a common theme). There is no ATM. "accessable" lol, good luch getting a chair into that elevator. toilets are filthy too, I go elsewhere like gym or library. I go to the gym to shower because this place is filthy. there is nothing to dry your hands with.
I stayed in a 4 room and a 12 room. 12 was better than 4.
hope you dont get someone spraying deodourant every couple hours. I'm allergic and it doesnt clear out for an hour.
the bunks are fine. the 12 room one didnt shriek and squeak and was adult sized. the 4 room was a squeaky childrens bunk and i couldnt sit. I came when it was 20c out but it'd be awful in the cold with these blankets. Its safe to sleep but dont expect security for items. some people like to leave the doors open. in heinsight i'd try the other backpackers and ask if they do towels or have laundry. trains and busses are good here, so the distance would be fine. If i had to be here again i'd try a private room for security but you'd still have no shower.
