There were foundation marks on the pillow cases in the room. The floor of the public bathroom was dirty and it was on the first floor. To go to the bathroom to take a shower, you had to walk through the bar on the first floor, which was very inconvenient. The toilet is generally hygienic. I live on the second floor. At night, customers from the bar on the first floor come up to the second floor to use the toilet. The noise from the bar stops at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

It's a stylish hostel with a bar restaurant attached, but in reality the food and drink business seems to be more active.
Looking at the reviews, it seems the management has changed since before, and the kitchen for guests that was previously advertised is no longer there, and there is only a microwave and what appears to be a kettle. The outlets in the hallway have also been blocked off, presumably to prevent charging, and the impression that the services offered are not very substantial.
The location was easy to find, and the room was clean. There were no amenities available for rental, and I refrained from using the shower due to the atmosphere.
The private room I rented was extremely simple, with just a bed, desk, and chair, and no hangers or anything like that. It seems fine if you're just looking for a place to sleep for one night.

My wife and I booked a double room in this hotel, which was quite large, and the room door already had an electronic lock!
There is a restaurant on the first floor, and check-in is also at the restaurant counter. Check-in comes with a free drink from the restaurant. The kitchen has a simple microwave and kettle for use.
The shower room is in the basement, and you must pass by the restaurant on the first floor. It feels a bit strange, and men may still go into the women's shower room by mistake. The design of this part is a bit strange.
There is a bar behind the hotel, and it is very noisy before closing at night. Even if the soundproof air-tight windows are closed, it is still quite loud. Moreover, the door bow of the restaurant door on the first floor of the hotel is not cushioned enough, and closing the door will affect the upstairs!

High cost performance. Close to city attractions. Close to the church and main street, not far from the supermarket. The bar on the first floor is very lively. Parking lot is very close

We visited this bar everyday on our trip. The food was great and the whole feel of the bar was cozy and relaxed. The drinks selection was vast! The staff really look after you and remembered us so greeted us like locals. Such a great find! We wish we would have stayed here also.

Great place with a great atmosphere. Really enjoyed our time there. Good coffees and hot chocolates too. I’ve forgotten the managers name (Mog-something)- a fabulous Polish man and he was hilarious, hospitable and had the best energy. Highly recommend

Took a chance and I was not disappointed. Very kind and hospitable staff with quality beer and food. Lots of choices to be had in the area, but you simply will appreciate this local and authentic place. Just so you know, they do have contactless pay available, which makes it very easy for us to us
