Staff is nice. Good area, close to station. Towel, shower amenities included with towel. Would stay again!
Staff was friendly and the property was very clean.
A big downside however was that the hostel is located right under a rail line, which makes the entire building shudder whenever a train passes by overhead.
Though I only stayed over for a short while, I was satisfied with my stay.

good staff, convenient location, hotel is clean.
but loud under the railway
This is a really nice place to stay. Although there was train noise, there was no major inconvenience in sleeping. I recommend it

It's great for the most part
It's good for the price and central location, plus the staff is really nice. The most negative thing is noisy trains that shakes the beds and the fact that in winter it's either freezing or like a sauna, it did work well for me and I had no issues sleeping, however for other people these things might be an issue.
Terrible location behind of the train railway.. from 5:00 to 00:30 you hear very strong noise from the train every 3 minutes.. I do not know how the authorities permit a Hostel under the train railway..
Apart of the staff that is friendly, the rest was one of worst experience I ever had
When we first arrived l was startled by the volume of the train overhead and couldn’t imagine sleeping through it, however it was fine (admittedly we were very tired). It was fine sharing the lounge/kitchen area. There is a supermarket very close by
I didn’t read any reviews before booking as I was in a hurry, but be aware!! - the hostel is directly under a metro so it feels like a mini earthquake every 5 minutes! But luckily the trains stop running for some hours during night, and earplugs are provided :) other than that the hostel is super!! Clean, modern, comfortable, convenient, has good privacy and individual lamp, power outlet and curtains, and has a nice shared kitchen!

the only issue was the property’s location , underneath railway bridge with frequent train passing noice, other all good
The train is passing over quite often, but was not that difficult to sleep in as some of the reviews mentioned. The hostel was actually quite nice, but was not a super social place, but super nice to sleep
Disadvantages
1. The train passes through the roof of the accommodation. The building is shaking. The beds and walls are shaking. Thanks to this, you can wake up early. 2. Even if you use it for 5 days, you only get one towel.
Advantage
1. Kindness. 2. Clean. It was a really special experience. If you want a special experience, I recommend it.

Good choice if you can sleeping under railway
Very noise and earthquake like vibration all the time. Staff are not friendly at all
Right underneath a busy train line, so it gets very noisy and shaky every 3-5 minutes. If you can’t sleep with loud noise, dont stay here even though they give you free ear plugs. Small side note, you also have to make your own bed. Niche experience, but I had a scare because my bag was taken from my locker somehow and then it reappeared in the locker beside mine 16 hours later. Even contacted the police to file a missing item report but luckily the staff said they found it the following day. One positive was the lounge area was nice and large.
Selv om det var et hostel og der var advarsel om at man kunne høre togtrafik, så fremgik det ikke, at hotellet lå lige under skinnerne, fire spor i alt. Der var for voldsom en larm, selv for tog-entusiaster der bor i en larmende by.
Ficamos em um quarto privativo, atendeu nossa necessidade pela localização. O fato de estar em baixo da linha do trem não nos atrapalhou, mas se você tiver dificuldade para dormir talvez não deva ficar aqui.
