I recommend you spend a couple extra euro and stay at another hostel. You won’t regret it. The hostel aparently changes their reception hours to bacially nonexistent during off season. I was lucky there was someone there when I came to check in, but the rest of my stay I hardly saw anyone and watched others struggle with check in. The man who was there occasionally wasn’t helpful at all either. He responded to everyone’s questions with “I’ll have to ask my coworker and get back to you”. After about 3 or 4 separate attempts of trying to pay my bill but no one being around, the man made an appearance. I tried to pay with my card and he told me there would be a 10% fee for using a card! It said nothing about this on their booking page. He then told me the total and it was about 6 euro more than my confirmation email said. I tried to show him the confirmation that said the price I was quoted but he kept saying he’d have to talk to his coworker. It all became too much of a hastle so I paid the extra euro.
The location isn’t bad if you’re coming from the train/bus station. About a 5 minute walk and about a 5-10 minute walk to see the old town area.
There’s not really a common area aside from the kitchen, which is very small. There’s no oven or stove just a microwave and fridge. Anymore than 3 people and it’s too crowded, which is often given there’s at least 3 8-person dorms.
Overall, not a great experience. I recommend just booking somewhere in old town, they seemed nice.
