Red Nest Hostel

Location is great, walking distance from shops, restaurants, the cathedral, etc. Room and shared toilet/showers were clean. Very friendly reception staff (24/7 reception). Luggage storage available. There were towels available in my twin room, and an electric heater too, which is great since I get cold quickly. Although I did not have breakfast at Red Nest Hostel, I liked the fact that it is available and looked OK for the price. I would stay here again.

The main possibility for improvement were the showers. Towel and clothes could only be placed outside the shower cabin (if you wanted them to stay dry), so you had to open the shower cabin door - and potentially be seen by others - to get them. For the water, you have to press a button about every 10 seconds. I don't mind the button to save water, but 10 seconds is very short.

The private room was nice, warm and had beautiful views over the roofs! Guided tours were great way to get to know the city and people!

The bathrooms could have been cleaner. Also the showers of the 4th floor were quite awful. Hot water came really slowly or not at all, the showers were old and splashing everywhere, some of the locks were broken. They would need just a bit renovation. Otherwise this hostel is a good value for money.

The location was good, and the staff were very nice and helpful.

The dorm bed didn't have an electrical outlet or a small lamp. Also, the shower tap wasn't great. The security lockers were in and shape, and the ones under the beds were extremely loud.

The location was great I was able to walk where I wanted to go with ease. The staff were prompt and nice, helpful when needing something. The beds were comfortable, room was nice with small light next to bed.

The shower/bathrooms had the worst smell, like backed up sewage. There was some loud people partying after midnight which I normally wouldn't mind but my friend had been sick and we were trying to sleep. I didn't like that they closed the kitchen at a certain time because I am someone who eats at odd hours and was unable to access my own food in their fridge.
