Great staff, nice facilities and...

Liked: The staff at this hostel were so friendly! They made me feel very welcomed and replied fast to messages. They are laundry facilities, which worked great! You do have to pay some money for it, but I think that it is only fair. Room has lockers which is nice!
Disliked: There were some mousses spotted in the living room. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I didn't have meals in the hostel and I was only staying one night, but I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable eating there. I will add, that the reason for this probably is the ongoing constructions on the streets next to the hostel. So I don't think it's the hostels fault. In normal circumstances, this hostel would then score higher for me.I stayed here in a weekend and it was quite noisy outside. The room also was quite hot, so I'm not sure if I would stay here during summers for that reason.
