Cleanliness could be much better

The room itself and the bathroom were clean and the beds comfortable. The breakfast was fine, with fresh coffee and standard bread and cheese/salami collection.

The hostel is a hostel in the worst sense: You will feel like you are on a school trip with your high school class. The lobby was unorganized, as was the canteen (school canteen style), the hallways smelled terrible of wet carpets, there is no air conditioning in the rooms (which at 40 degrees Celsius is rather unbearable). We had to leave the windows open - which exposed us to an almost non-stop train experience, with goods trains and passenger trains passing by with a 30 second break inbetween. Sleeping: Impossible. The worst for us, though, was that we arrived after 8pm and wanted to buy something cold to drink. As no supermarket in the area was open at that time of the day, we went to the reception. The vending machines were broken, took our money without giving out the products. The (very kind) staff tried to help us, but couldn't get the machine working neither. We were offered bottles from the backroom storage - which were warm and definitely overpriced. We had planned to stay one more night on the return journey - and cancelled. We will not stay at a&o hostel again.
