When entering from the street the initial impression is a stairwell that really needs maintance and with a bad smell to it. The hostel itself could do with a clean up and some fresh paint to make it look a little more inviting and cozy. But it's a cheap stay, so what can you expect?
Bed and showers very ok, and the staff was helpful and friendly, though, which to some degree makes up for the lack of maintance and tidyness.
