I took a short 1.5 hr nap after checking in, got bitten by bed bugs. After 6:00 pm, no one was there so I had to check out on my own as the bed bug bites were severe.
Up to now, the owner is not taking responsibility in giving me a refund for the 3 nights and 4 days I didn’t get to stay.
Key was dropped off in their container box, they claim they haven’t received it. Incredibly unprofessional and dirty.
My room was a 6/10 in cleanliness but the rest of the guest house was dirty, the halls and stairs cluttered. Safety in question. Price far beyond the quality of the stay and misleading. The staff were kind.
I probably could have done a little more research, but the property is fantastic for what it is. It is essentially a no frills hostel (though you do get your own room with its own bathroom) that is primarily targeted toward students or other visitors with extremely tight budgets. It is self-check in and had no room service options that I was aware of. Any coordination was through a phone located at the "check in desk." It was, however, extremely easy to get checked in, up to the room, and was perfectly comfortable. If you are looking for a cheap place to sleep in a super convenient part of town, this is your place. If you want some of the creature comforts of a standard hotel, this probably isn't your place.
We had booked 3 nights but property just wasn’t a fit for us so we didn’t stay. We knew no elevator but stairs were extremely steep. Also we were surprised that on arrival no one at front desk just a landline phone and instructions to phone and someone will come to front desk. That took 10-15 minutes. Room seemed close to pictures but hallway was cluttered and eating area was small. We asked for refund and at first refused but I asked again for at least one night refund and owner agreed but said I must contact Expedia about it. Contacted Expedia and explained, they have opened a file on refund and will get back to me within 72 hours.
The room was very good same like the picture and the shower also very big. I very enjoyed during my stay there. It’s not far from the train station and bus station. It’s very easy to go anywhere.
the Guest house in conveniently located but a little hard to find. When we arrived the room was quite cold and we had to ask for an extra heater, they gave us an electric one.

The place was dated but room was comfortable. Interesting old neighborhood and many attractions are walking distance. Subway station is just steps away.
I had a great stay it’s so close to all the main areas And super close to the subway. Comfortable stay plus a mini fridge, your own bathroom, and a great host. Privacy was the best part. Definitely recommend!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Es ist ein Hostel, man sollte nicht Zuviel erwarten. Ich war aber zufrieden, ich fand die Umgebung sehr interessant und anders zum Rest der Stadt.
Das Einzelzimmer war auch geräumig. Es ist Self checkin. Ubahn und Bus sind in der Nähe.
Es kann etwas laut werden nachts (da Hostel) Einrichtung ist etwas veraltert. Es könnte sauberer sein. Aber es ist günstig, liegt gut und zum übernachten reicht es.
