Pretty modern, clean space. But as others have said its like an automatic hostel with no staff. When i came back at one stage there was a guy outside looking mental, who claimed he'd booked but hadnt been sent code. Probably true, but its not my job to evaluate whether he has booked or not, and i couldn't go in without him wanting in with me, and then I'm liable for whatever he gets up to... so for me it's not a well thought out concept, at the very least get more responsive to messages. Also kitchen is needlessly crap
Great hostel, offers compartmented bunks with curtains for each compartment and bed. Clean, comfortable, perfect for a pilgrim’s stay.
It has an excellent location, is very clean, and the sheets, towels, and duvet are as white as foam. The bunk beds have curtains, and there's a lockable luggage storage area. There are few bathrooms and no cutlery. But highly recommended!
No one is personally on site. Enter the door code and you're in. Great beds, but they lack a personal touch. The shower cubicles can no longer be locked.
Check-in was cumbersome, with a link that asked for a lot of personal information that could be used for something else. In the end, the virtual key wasn't ready after the check-in time. You arrive and the housekeeper is still making your bed. What then? And the manager or host—I didn't know who it was—responded irresponsibly on the accommodation platform. The bathrooms have motion sensors. If you take too long using the toilet, the lights go out, and the showers too; if you take too long showering, the lights go out. You just have to adjust the timer. The housekeeper was friendly and answered many of my questions; excellent, and congratulations! But the manager was just fine, thanks. Oh, and the Wi-Fi in the rooms is slow.
