Hotel bien situé pour pas trop cher . Petit déjeuner pas toujours servi à l'heure. Salle de bain pas trop propre aux heures de pointe. La réception pourrais être plus chaleureuse.
Hotel well located for not too expensive. Breakfast not always served on time. Bathroom not too clean at rush hour. The reception could be more warm.

Wir haben für das Zimmer knapp 40 Euro bezahlt. Das Hostel ist ziemlich alt und wirklich nur für Kurztripps geeignet. Es ist wirklich im Zentrum!! Für uns war es ziemlich OK für eine Nacht. Die Sauberkeit lässt für manche zu wünschen übrig, aber als Backpacker völlig ok. Nur sind die Zimmer ziemlich ringhörig, also unbedingt ohrstöpsel mitnehmen, wenn man ausschlafen möchte. Ansonsten wirklich top! Nettes Personal (der Herr an der Reception).
We paid just under 40 euros for the room. The hostel is quite old and really only suitable for short trips. It really is in the center !! For us it was pretty OK for one night. The cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired for some, but completely ok as a backpacker. Only the rooms are quite noisy, so take earplugs with you if you want to sleep in. Otherwise really great! Nice staff (the gentleman at the front desk).

Je vais vous faire partager mon expérience! L'emplacement de cette "hôtel" est très bien, près des commerces, du métro... Cependant, le reste laisse à désirer, la chambre est convenable mais l'isolation est horrible, on entend tout mais vraiment tout! Ne parlons pas de "la salle de bain" commune qui est exécrable, aucune hygiène, odeur infecte, les douches sont sales, les robinets cassés, aucune intimité, les verrous sont cassés également! Le petit déjeuner est correct cependant la quantité est inférieur aux besoins de l'hôtel! Que dire à part que pour dormir 1 nuit c'est bien 1 semaine impossible!
I will share my experience! The location of this "hotel" is very good, close to shops, metro ... However, the rest is poor, the room is ok but the insulation is horrible, you can hear everything but really! Let's not talk about the common "bathroom" which is execrable, no hygiene, bad smell, showers are dirty, faucets broken, no privacy, locks are broken too! The breakfast is ok however the quantity is less than the needs of the hotel! What to say except that to sleep 1 night is 1 week impossible!

Beware - Tourist Trap! To start with, the pictures on the website as well as the description are far away from reality! The term "luxury" in the description is nothing but cynical! The rooms are run down, durty and smelly. Furthermore rooms to the street are noisy due to the nightlife. The shared bathrooms are filthy and anything else but well maintained. My wife did not even want to set foot in it! About the locations: It is quite central, however this street in particular is rather dangerous at night, there is a peep-show next door and drug dealers are trying their luck even during daytime. Since we are straight forward people, we made our opinion quite clear to the available clerk. However we had no intention to change the hostel, since it was a holiday weekend and we only hat two nights and one whole day. Returning from dinner the first evening at 11 p.m. we put the kids to bed and were just about to get ready ourselves, when the owner knocked on our room door. He, accompaigned by two other men and a woman screamed at us that we should leave the place right now. We tried to discuss the matter calmly for the sake of our children, but there was no way of discussing it. He put himself in the doorframe and kept screaming at us to leave and looked at us packing our bags. I called the police because I felt threatened and I wanted a witness for the returning of the keys. The owner then disappeared and left the job to his manager, who at least helped us carry the bags four stories down (no elevator). The police then came, made clear to the manager that a breach of room privacy of this kind is illegal, but of course they could not do more than this. Luckily we found a nice hotel nearby and were finally happy to be out of this terrible place! - By the way: Looking at the ratings on Trip Advisor and on Google I found at least two excellent ratings made by the manager and one by the owner himself. I think that speaks for itself!

This hostel is way too expensive for what it really is. For a family room for 3, we paid 332€. The room is decent. Only 1 power outlet in the whole room, and only 1 ceiling light. No small lamps. The breakfast is decent. However there is no actual dining area - if a large group takes up the table, you have to eat on the couch with your food in your lap. The bathroom is the worst part. In the same tiny room, there are 2 toilets and 3 showers and 2 sinks. You have nowhere to put your things while you shower. The water gets EVERYWHERE when you shower, so you're always walking in puddles. There is no privacy at all, it's so easy for someone to walk in while you're trying to get dressed naked while trying to not get your clothes drenched on the wet floor. For this hotel-like price, you may as well get a hotel, or get a way nicer hostel for cheaper, and at the same great location.
