What guests think
At Station - Hostel for Backpackers, travellers praise the very central location near the main station and sights, but many report disruptive noise from parties and thin walls, alongside mixed cleanliness standards, especially in shared bathrooms.
Rooms are basic; some are comfortable and spacious, while others feel hot with limited ventilation or dated mattresses. Service is often friendly, but reception is not 24 hours and issues like changing check-in times or booking/payment problems appear. Facilities are simple with a small, lively bar and limited shared bathrooms; towels and toiletries may not be provided. Best for budget travellers prioritizing location over quiet and extras.
