We stayed for three nights, but the room was not cleaned during our stay. There was no staff available at the reception, and the coffee machine on the ground floor was not working. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. There are shared bathrooms, which was not mentioned on the site. It was my worst and most disappointing experience, I would not recommend this hotel to any of my known.

The room was clean, albeit a bit small. The walls are practically paper thin so bring a pair of noise cancelling headphones. Despite the noise, it is a perfectly nice place to stay and relatively inexpensive, as well as being in a great location. If you are on a budget, then it is worth staying here.

Now called Old Town and not Kastali, I found the hostel to be in a great location, quiet despite the being well occupied, the rooms fine, and the bathrooms kept clean the entire time I was there. Pretty nice, actually.

Here's what I hate about this place. They aren't open, and they took my money. I had to get a more expensive room at a nearby hotel. I want my money back, and I want Expedia and all the other agency's that list this place to remove it from their listing's.

The property was very conveniently located and moderately easy to find. It was fairly priced. What I hadn't.t realized, and no-one explained, was that it was really a hostel. Apart from a man who let me in the building, I saw no-one at all apart from 3 guests, one of whom explained that there was no breakfast provided. The room was basic as were the facilities. I wasn't even sure about payment. In fact I found the charges had been taken out of my bank account without my knowledge. Not exactly welcoming and no-one to explain anything.
