  : The room was not ready at 16, there was very little breakfast

  : I loved the way the dorms were appointed, with comfortable beds that had privacy curtains, couches and chairs to hang out, as well as a small sink for washing up.
  : I hated the dining setup. The hostel has a kitchen where staff prepare breakfast for paying customers but which is off limits to guests. Each floor has a tiny kitchen area for guests, but this only includes a microwave, small fridge, and water kettle. This means that guests cannot prepare real meals for themselves, and even basic meals have to be carried down to the dining area, unless a guest prefers to eat within their dorm.If a guest brings their own breakfast, they must be checked by staff, to make sure they aren't eating the breakfast provided to paying customers. This is not only annoying but goes against the whole spirit of hostel accommodation. I don't know what inspired this kind of setup, and I'm sure a prepared breakfast is appreciated by those willing to pay for it, but there's a reason travellers stay in hostels instead of hotels, and it seems Wake Up missed this point by blurring the lines between the two.Additional points: no hand soap in the bathroom (shower) no wall hooks for toiletry items/towels in toilet

  : I was positively surprised by how clean the hostel was including shared bathrooms, kitchen and the room itself. Staff was all the time very nice and kind. They also provide towels which is a nice benefit.

  : Stayed for 3 nights in a private room. Based on other reviews, and the hostels own website, I had high expectations for this place. I hope the following honest review will help them do better in the future. Im usually a very positive person, who loves to promote well deserving businesses. Ive also stayed in hundreds of hostels in my life. This hostel has potential, but REALLY seems to be lacking basic pride. And it is far from luxury.- Great location next to the main train station and a large shopping mall.- Thomas and Patricia at reception were very friendly and welcoming. They are the definite highlights of the property.- Good sized room (#5) with a cool view of a busy intersection. - Bed and pillow were comfortable.
  : - Bad wifi. Comes off and on constantly.- Water (or urine) all over the floor in the mens 2nd floor washroom for the entire 3 days I was there. Doesnt anyone clean or fix things in this hostel?? How are you supposed to sit on the toilet without your pants getting soaked?? Basically, anyone who uses that washroom will be standing in urine and then tracking it throughout the building, including into the rooms and potentially onto the beds. Yuck!- A communal shower was right behind a wall in my room. And it looked like a rat or cat died in the drain. Never cleaned for the entire 3 days I was there. I thought this hostel prided itself on cleanliness and hygiene?? Again, VERY gross.- No soap in the shower dispenser for the 3 straight days. - No paper towels in the 2nd floor washrooms for 2 of the 3 days.- The bedroom door had a large cut out in it and lets in lots of light when youre trying to sleep. Poor design.- No desk in the room.- Far too expensive for what you get. If breakfast, laundry, or even a cup of coffee was included, it would have been a little bit better. But for 145 euro for 3 nights, I DEFINITELY recommend staying elsewhere. *Because of how dirty the toilet areas and showers were, for my own peace of mind, I didnt feel comfortable trying the breakfast, even though I was originally planning on having it each morning I was there. So I cannot give any feedback on that. But I hope everyone who had it is safe and enjoyed.
