Freedom Hostel

Good location, not in the centre but a couple of minutes walk to the nearest tram station. Bus to the airport was across the road which was good.

Some plugs were hanging off the wall but this did not affect our stay as we used the other ones. Quite noisy on our floor but I would stay again.

Price to quality ratio is satisfying. Location is comfortable.

The place is noisy and crowded with youngsters partying constantly. If you need to take a proper rest, it’s not the best place to be.

We also stayed at Premium Hostel (the floor below) but preferred Freedom. Close enough to the old city to walk (around 10 minutes), though you have to catch a tram/ bus from the train station. There is not much food or entertainment of note close to the hostel, but transport connections are good. Room was small but clean. Room was warm during the day but cooled off at night if a window to the main road was kept open. Unfortunately, the street outside can be noisy with traffic, and one night loud music and garbage trucks kept us awake. Not a social atmosphere, though a simple but sufficient breakfast (bread, selection of jams, cheese and yoghurt) is included in a common breakfast room. Walk very quickly across the nearby main road.

Noise from outside the room if the window was open (it had to be as otherwise the room was hot).

silent place, close to downtown and few grocery stores

very basic breakfast and horrible peach yogurts

Hotel newly renovated? Everything was very clean, very good beds. Nice dining room and facilities for making one's own meals.

No elevator (for the 4th floor hotel), but this is under construction and should be finished by the end of October 2008

Convenience to city center.

A very adequate and inexpensive hostel. Ideal if you are with a group of friends who want to spend most of the time out and about, with the room just to be used to crash at night. It was very clean, well equiped and quiet.

there are a lot of stairs - 5 floors up, and no lift. it is about a 20 minute walk to the town square, but there are numerous bars, shops and restaurantson the way.
