Was positively surprised with our stay. Was expecting it to be a bit noisy and more "party" hotel. It was actually pretty quiet on our floor, and the staff was very friendly. Only issue was the windows didn't open, and the room was a bit hot

As far as hostels go, this was excellent. Friendly welcome, our double room was clean and spacious, shared toilets and bathrooms were clean and hygienic, excellent kitchens, very good buffet breakfast... and, best of all, right next to Central station
