The hostel is very good, but there are many things that need maintenance; there are many rooms and the reception is always crowded because there is only one employee.

We booked this room because it was convenient for the stadium, and in that regard, we have no complaints. Otherwise, however, the experience was decidedly negative. It's Thursday night, and as I write this review, it's 1:30 a.m. Karaoke, loud music, and a lot of noise continue from the bar downstairs (which, I should point out, is owned by the hotel, not another bar; it's in the hotel and theirs), and we don't even know how long it will continue. Considering that accommodations are also chosen by business travelers, those who simply want to rest, or perhaps those with small children, I think it's fair to expect to be able to sleep at a reasonable hour, given that we paid quite a bit. I could understand a similar situation in the city center on a Saturday night, but this isn't even a particularly busy area. In fact, we found it much quieter in the city center than in this property. Unfortunately, due to the constant noise and the inability to get a proper rest, I can't recommend this accommodation. Not to mention the fact that the walls between the rooms are made of sh*t, since you can hear EVERYTHING they say in the other room 😂
