I ended up here as pretty much a last resort: two rooms were listed by hosts as available, but actually weren't, which cost me a few days, and other options disappeared. But, I did not lose out, this hostel was great. Due to another review I thought the noise from the street would be a problem, but for me it was quiet - windows open during day closed at night, but didn't seem like it would be a problem with them open. The place was clean, the bed comfortable, andb public transport convenient. €1 for a washing machine (dryer available too) was a good deal and convenient (in same room as men's toilets, but door often propped open and room empty). Place was generally quiet except for one occasion when some men were talking loudly after returning at 3 AM, but they stopped quickly after I made some noise. This hostel was better than I expected, even with good reviews. I would recommend to others, and stay here again.
