You get what you pay for, facilities are run down, and i was checked into a completely uncleaned room (was moved to a clean room without any issue) ##### Kealie Jade Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### marc 8 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good area ##### marc Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kevin 25 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities You get what you pay for - to an extent, with this one. Cheap room in a superb location. Relatively clean but facilities are befitting the price - poor decor, cracked and loose bathroom floor tiles, a travesty of a zip tied shower, poor room ventilation and a general condition of something you'd expect for the lowest local price. Set your expectations low, then go lower. If you need a place to crash - perfect. If you need functional facilities and a pleasant environment go elsewhere. ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Javier E 23 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort When we arrived nodoby was there and the option was to make a phone call if you do not have roaming (I came from Argentina) because the cost of having activated the cell phone is so expensive is a complication Being said that, the floor was dirty, the floor of the room the same, Take a shower was so difficult because the whole floor was flooded HORRIBLE ##### Javier E Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Marc 29 Jun 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Although the staff member that checked me in was very nice, helping me find a place to lock my bike on the property, the poor condition of the building and rooms was very concerning. A review in German on another website said there were bed bugs here at some point, and though my inspection didn’t reveal any, the grime under the bed and general condition and smell of the property did not provide any reassurance. Simple maintenance things like properly functioning faucet valves, paint touch ups and more thorough cleaning would help. I don’t recommend this place. ##### Marc Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### DARIA 25 Jul 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Poor There is no wi fi. There is a TV in the room but it does not work. Why is it there? There was someone’s garbage (tampon and q tips) left in the toilet bin when we checked in. The place was not cleaned thoroughly. The showerhead was messed up, it just spewed water at you. Again, no wifi in the rooms. In one of the hallways it smelled like sewage. The building is pretty decrepit itself from the outside and needs to be torn down. Not suitable for a even a hostel. Nobody at the bar when check in supposedly is, at 5pm. I had to go to a neighbouring hotel and ask to call the hostel as I did not have cell service for someone to come to the next door bar where check in is supposed to be. There is no reception except the bar next door that doubled as reception but they do not seem to know much about the hotel or the surrounding area. The toilet flusher button was a nail in the wall that you had to push to flush, there was no button. If you need anything extra you have to call a specific phone number and as I did not have cell service this meant that I could not request anything. Like I said, this place needs to be torn down as it is not suitable for even a hostel. The photo of the hostel on the website is not the building that the rooms are in. The rooms are in the white building adjacent, with the paint coming off, next to the Victoria hotel. Do not be fooled by the false advertisement. The photo of the red brick building is the top of the bar where the check in is, not the hostel. ##### DARIA Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Liv Ellen 25 Nov 2024 ##### Liv Ellen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Silje 5 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Dårlig standard men billigst i byen ##### Silje Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ellen 4 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Ellen Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Graeme 25 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Graeme Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paulo 24 Sept 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Paulo Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 18 Sept 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Keep the exits clear please The hotel is what it is, to a point where it's almost comically charming. Toilets seat strapped with cable ties and graffiti on the bedroom wall. However, for at least two days one of the hallways that also serves as an emergency exit was blocked by a large trolley and different building materials that were stored on the floor. In the (likely) case of an evacuation that's just dangerous and unforgivable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### May 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Humorboost Rein seng og rein vask på badet. Sentral beliggenhet for oss. Vi har ledd i fire dager av pussige løsninger. Kommer aldri til å glemme disse dagene på dette rimelige overnattings stedet. Med humor innabords og lavhelte sko var det en opplevelse å entre korridorene. Koffertene ble båret opp til rommene av personalet. Nøkkelsystemet var enkelt å forstå.
