simple for one or two nights only for sleeping

It is an economic hostel for low budget travellers. The rooms are all shared, mixed and one room for females. There are 3 toilets outside the rooms and a small balcony. It is a small and simple place. It does not have common areas. So if you are searching a place to use a laptop or do some remote job this is not the place for you. There are some lockers outside the rooms only for a small bag. Check in is at 3 pm and check out at 10:30. Before it is not possible to stay due to cleaning time. I think it is a place that if you respect its rules you will feel good but if you do the oppposite you will not be accepted anymore.

Not the best experience

The neighborhood felt unsafe to walk around at night.
They only gave you one sheet, and I doubt it was washed before I arrived.
There was a lot of noise from the street, making it hard to sleep.
They didn’t give you a key, and it felt unsafe to leave your belongings on the bed since anyone could walk in.
There were only three bathrooms for three rooms of six people, and they were not in good condition.

I stayed a couple of nights sharing a room, there are 5 beds. I had a good time. It's central. But if you're posh, don't go.

I had a good time, I shared a room with girls who came from Australia, Sweden, Mexico. If you speak English there is no communication problem. If you are posh, don't go. It's fine for a weekend or not. The bathroom is outside the room. .There are several bathrooms.

Scandalous. Higher your price +10€ and go somewhere else.

What. A. Scandal. Paying over 50€ for a single-bed in dorms in the least welcoming and looked-after hostel.
Situated on the 2nd floor of an old-looking building, the entrance door was not that appealing. When I opened it, I thought I was in the cheapest guesthouse of Vietnam. White eye-hurting neons in a corridor, far on the left the bathrooms and the kitchen, on the right the rooms.
The kitchen I wouldn't set a foot in it, so decrepit as it was. Should I talk about the bathrooms ? The once huge bathroom (the place seems to have been a single apartment before it was made into hostel) was split into three cramped bathrooms, where one has no place to stretch out. No window and an unpleasant smell of moisture, the floor getting flooded whether you be careful or not in the shower, and the untamed mixer tap made it impossible to actually enjoy the moment : you either have the choice to burn alive or freeze to death. It may sound futile and spoiled-child-like, but it really had me blow a fuse.
Same neons in the room, no bedsheets, only a blanket and a worn-looking pillow. Still it's in this room I met nice girls : what brought us to chat and get along, was first our shock and dismay about the reality of the place.
Then the situation is really good, not too far from the city center to walk (a half hour roughly), and the people who work here are not unfriendly, though not friendly as well.
I refuse to feed the AirBnB system and deliberately choose to stay in hostels, but knowing I could have had a luxurious FLAT of my own for the exact same price (I checked, some were even cheaper, and same distance from the city-center), well it certainly makes me bitter.
Oh! And I forgot: the noises of the cars outside are so loud, it seems as if there was no window.

Overbooking Hotel

I have made a booking on April 5th, and I received the confirmation right away.
On April 19th, the money were taken from my account, and on April 21th, with only 4 days before my trip, my booking was canceled because the hotel overbooked.
