Yes its true, this is not a very neat and clean place to stay, _but_ its the cheapest in town, supercentral and it attracts alot of fun people! If you stay in the dorm (which I did) you`ll be in a room with potenially 15 other people. Breakfat in included and its surprisingly good!
The commonroom isnt really a room at all but a corner by the staircase. Its not very comfortable, but we still had a great time, playing guitar, singing and partying before we would go out.

The bathrooms are ok, 5-6 bathrooms with toalets and showers.
I had a great time due to the people I met here, but if you are in need of privacy and antibacterial suroundings you might not enjoy it as much as I did.

The hostel is definitely below par and doesn't meet the standards of its peers. The building is old and unrenovated, the rooms are cramped, and it's fairly dirty. The staff were unfriendly. When I asked about public transit, the person at the front desk didn't look up from his magazine. They make you pay a 20 euro deposit for the key, though the locks don't work. The location, however, is very central. I'm sorry to say that compared to all the other hostels I stayed at in Eastern Europe, this was the worst.
