Bird House

The hostel itself is an old building and has a lot of charm to it. It's close to a bus station that goes directly to the train station. Lots of supermarket and restaurants nearby.

This place was very cozy, felt nice to have a kitchen to cook and we also had a good communication with the people working there. I would call this place a hostel rather than hotel because the only thing that you don’t share is your room. The terrace had different opening hours which was a bit weird. Bus connections outside of the door every 10 minutes, the metro was also close so as a lot of grocery stores and other shopping places. I would say it was quite clean but it all depends on the other people living there at the same time as you. We had our room next to the street so it was a bit noisy so if you are sensitive to that bring earplugs. Overall we are happy with our stay there according to the price and location. Only thing I would complain about this hostel is the maintenance of it. :)

When we arrived we found a room that smelled like a cesspool. The entire 2nd floor smelled like that. Aweful!! Our room had not been cleaned. The shower was covered with long black hair, so was the sink. I'm not sure if the bed sheets were fresh... I was able to reach a contact person by phone who wanted to send a cleaning lady to get the job done. But nobody met us that day to help us out. It was a horrible night! The worst about it was that odor. But the house is also extreme poorly soundproofed. The next morning a cleaning lady contacted us in the room. She seemed to be embarrassed by the state of the bathroom. She left us some room fragrance against the bad odor. The door stopper just lies on the floor, not screwed in anymore. The towel rack in the bathroom ist about to fall from the wall as the screws are not solid in the wall. The room just looks like the renovation has never been finished. There is an old stone sink with a faucet right next to the bed. It's not active anymore but the faucet has just been covered in tape; maybe to show that it's not to be used? The floor is raw stone and there is a filthy rug in front auf the bed. During 5 days that we stayed there the trash bins have never been emptied. And the bad smell keeps coming back. We liked where the place is located. Easy to get there by Metro from the airport. Many coffee places around.

Extremely loud traffic in the morning. Elevator was broken the entire time. Room floor was stained and not clean. A floor tile was cracked and moved when stepped on. Air conditioning did not work. Not recommended.

Nice common area with kitchen, comfortable stay.
