Stayed for a few nights around Christmas, the main positive thing is I got a 2 bed room on the top floor to myself although I had booked a bed in a 3 bed dormitory. The room was simply furnished but still fairly pleasant, with two wardrobes, two desks and a refrigerator. The temperature in the room was warmer than in the corridors and shared spaces, where it often felt a bit chilly.
This is a cheap accomodation but not very well maintained - apparently you need to keep your own supply of soap and toilet paper because they didn't provide any in the bathrooms. The common showering rooms didn't look very inviting, but were OK to use since the water was warm enough. There seems to be two shared kitchens on each floor, not very clean though and scarcely equipped.
Luckily there is a grocery store right next to the hostel building. Location is quite good, walking distance from the city center. As hostel guest you get an electronic tag to open the entrance door so you can come and go...

So the information on booking.com is wrong! Also, the bed is really really comfortable! And I think I have been lucky, I was in a room with only 3 beds. It was really cosy. The hostel is really spacious. Just one strange things, the showers are collective 🙏😂 . If you are at ease with your body it's good for you !! (Not collective, but no door...) The doors are like a paper sheet, then, you hear the noise like if it is in your room ! But fortunately there is not so much noise.. :) It was a very nice stay for me. I could come back there I'm in...
