I booked one of the pods, but it felt like a coffin as the ventilation system barely worked and was not properly sound proofed. Next to the pod room, there is some sort of a club, so the noise is unbearable.

The rooms where generally okay not amazing the blinds didn’t close all the way and if you were on the top bunk you didn’t not have a privacy curtain for changing or light. We had multiple male stuff come into our room unaccompanied by females as well as they did not knock or acknowledge they were coming in the room. There is no lounge area to meet people or hang out it must be at the cafe and you must purchase something from it. I recommend paying for the breakfast in the morning it is very well done. The female staff were amazing I greatly appreciated them. The door in our room was linked to a glass room which was locked but was still open so we had a breeze the entire night. I recommend a different hostel closer to the central

Bit annoying that you have to pay for towels to use, if I’d have know I’d have brought my own. €6 per person is asking way too much.

If booking via Expedia, then your payment is just processed via your creditcard (e.g. after the payment you don't have to worry anymore), so no problem if you book via this app. However, if booking via their own website, then your payment isn't really processed and claimed by the hostel. When you want to check in, you are told to pay for the booking at the reception, and you are told that the original payment for the booking isn't actually a payment but a failsafe for no shows. When you then pay for your booking, then your the original booking payment will be cancelled and the money returns to the creditcard/account. This is a really weird and inconvenient process, because [1] you can only pay by debit card at the reception (no cash, cc), [2] if someone else paid for the booking/trip, the actual guest might not even have credit to pay for the room, and [3] the cancellation of your booking payment is done manually and therefore prone to human error. Imagine that someone else pays for your booking, e.g. your boss or parent, and then you arrive at the hostel and suddenly you have to pay there, but you didn't bring any credit because the booking and payment are supposed to be done already. Then, you will not be able to check in because you can't 'pay' for the booking, while the original booking payment is not cancelled because you didn't check in. Also, they charge you €5 for a small can of supermarket beer (€1 or less around the corner).
