I was slightly worried given the recent Google reviews, but decided to risk it. Smooth sailing and I highly recommend it.
After booking, the property sent me an Online Checkin message, I clicked the link and filled out the form. At the end of that form I paid the €4 city tax. Once I submitted the form and paid the tax, they sent me full instructions and the door code. You can arrive at any time, use the door code and make yourself at home.

You have to be lucky with your co-guests, because 1 sink, 1 shower, 1 toilet and a small livingroom for everybody.... We slept surprisingly "okay"... the beds queeck with every move thou... Not very clean. The good thing of this hostel is that it is close to the airport. We enjoyed the coffee. The market is in front, but the entrance code is a mystery - if it will work or not - and doubt if your luggage is safe inside..... The lady is not answering phonecalls and nobody at the house for...
