Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location is great, if you need a place close to the central station. The overall atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. Having a sauna in a hostel is great, though this time I didn't have a chance to use it. Used it before though, extra points for the cold water bucket thing. Anyways I had a very short stay over, needed a place near central station, and this was a good spot the purpose. Also had some quick but nice encounters with fellow travellers.
Negative: Had some confusion with communication regarding of the payment, some messages came from the hostel's system some through booking, so wasn't sure how and where to answer, and there was a moment of risk of cancellation (from their part) even though I had paid, but eventually we managed to get over the confusion, so no harm done, I'm happy for the stay.
Summary: Good short stay-over near central station.
