Babelfish Hostel

Just a few min walk to the train station. Very convenient. The reception is friendly

The hostel is just across the train station which is very convenient, bedroom and bathrooms very clean and organized and super friendly staff, also would like to mention the building is very safe. Had breakfast which was simple yet value for money as is buffet style Definitely recommend and will be back

My stay happened to sync up with a large group of school children who were staying at the hostel, which made things a bit chaotic in the public spaces, but save for that my stay was pleasant. The dorms are really comfortable and it is nice to have access to a kitchen. The staff is really friendly and accommodating and the location is great for bus/train arrival/departures and for exploring the city on foot.

I never expected that hostel gonna hold so high level of professionalism. Clean room, safety, breakfast, friendly employees in addition great location

This hostel is literally right across the street from the train station. This was our first stop on our trip and after traveling for 12 hours and getting hit hard by jet lag, we were so happy with this location. We were much earlier than we expected to be and the staff was very accommodating. They let us leave our heavy bags with them so we could walk around and explore the city without all of our gear until check in. We opted for the patio room since we knew we would be exhausted from travel and want some quiet space to decompress. It was clean and comfortable. We didn't use the small kitchen in the room but it was nice to have available. The only negative was we were awoken in the middle of the night by people literally shouting and singing at the top of their lungs nearby. It didn't sound or appear to come from people at the hostel itself but it was certainly a trade off for the convenient location. We would stay here again if we returned to the city.

The concept of the hostel is pretty young and energetic. It encourages young people to travel and to meet others. The shared area: kitchen, dining, common room is quite a relaxing vibe. On the wall, there’s every detail of the hostel own style of deco and design. Breakfast offered was healthy and delicate. I like that it does not have the big chain business style but unique and refreshing. Everything ( cleaningness, tidiness, deco, bathroom) was good. Overall it was a pleasant journey. The only problem was you never know what people you would bump into in the hostel. When we stayed at the hostel, the last day we bumped into a rather old man and he seems a bit sick or in obesity. It’s not that I discriminate old people staying in hostel but it’s just generally hostel would not let in people older than 45 for their health concern. After all, if something happened to them (climbing the bunk bed), it may be a great risk…

Had a great stay in this clean and easy to find Hostel opposite the train station with other transport links nearby and all the major sights walkable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of space in the room with lockers and hangers for clothes. The rooms and hostel are cleaned daily too. There is a nice sized fully equipped kitchen for cooking. A breakfast is available for 7 euros between 8-12 am which is very nice. The one negative is if you do not have an ensuite bathroom there are two mens showers and three separate mixed toilets.

Well, one hostel had to be worst of my trip. I just wish it hadn't been quite SO bad. I could talk about their deceptive business practices. I could talk about the horrendous customer service. I could talk about the outrageous price. Instead I'll just say this. How on earth does a hostel only open their reception between 6pm and 8pm? You literally have two hours where you're allowed to check-in. Your train arrives at 4? Tough luck, gotta wait. Had a delay and arrived 8:30? Thanks for your money, but you ain't sleeping here. They don't even have a phone number in case any of their current guests have a problem. Lost your key or someone stole your wallet in the middle of the night? Good luck finding a bench to sleep on. They say it's because of covid, but covid exists in all of Europe. Are all the other hostels in Europe also closing at 8? Right, didn't think so. The reality is that this is because the manager is a cheapskate with zero regard for their guests.
