This hostel is a very good place to spend the night, but not much else.
Pros:
Everything is new u0026 works, including the Wi-Fi u0026 flatscreen TV.
Bathroom was spacious, modern u0026 so clean.
The front desk is operated by a man who really cares about pleasing his guests. Both he u0026 his wife took great pains to make dinner reservations for me u0026 my group of American exchange students, because the place we wanted to book has no email contact u0026 calling internationally over their landline would have been difficult. He also bright a fridge up for my colleague, who had just had knee surgery, u0026 needed to keep ice packs cold. I can't say enough nice things about these people.
The room was so spacious u0026 clean.
Vending machines in the lobby provide snacks u0026 drinks in a pinch.
Cons
Location; it's just too far to walk to the old city, which is where everything of interest is, and public transit is doable, but really not all that convenient from the hostel into town. Looking out the windows, you see almost exactly what you'd see in any small industrialized city, not what you are interested in as a tourist.
Breakfast is not available, and I did not see any kitchen facility there to prepare your own. There is a cafe u0026 supermarket nearby, so it's not as bad as it could be.
Overall, I highly recommend this place for its value u0026 service, as long as you don't mind the location. You'll be spending your day in thw old city anyway, and only returning here to sleep.
