We had to make our own beds up - on the bunk beds. There was very little air circulation and it was hot. We had to pay a deposit to get a fan for the room. But the staff was kind, friendly and helpful.

More like a prostitution place the a motel or a hostel. No parking, no air conditioning, infestation of insects. Great cold water though! Not a good place for family.

We didn’t sleep the two days we stayed and left a day early. The hotel is on the entry to the main train station. You can’t shut the window as there was no ventilation. Your given one small hand towel, beds are awful. Only positive is the breakfast staff was very friendly.

Not happy that the private room I paid a premium for did not have a working television for the three days I was there, after multiple requests to have it looked at, including directly to the a&o manager. One reception member even laughed at me when I told him that his colleague the day prior said that a technician would be called. Further, I was very disappointed to learn that a&o did NOT have laundry facilities on the property - even though the web advertisements promote this. This was central to my decision to stay there, and no explanation was provided why the facilities were no longer available.

1. No where in the website where I booked mentioned that it was a hostel. 2. When we got there it was overbooked (frequent practice according to the clerk). 3. The alternative option was to send us to a renovating hotel. Even worse! I guess that’s enough to open your eyes when booking at this place.

This is a very basic, bare bones hostel. For what it is, it's fine--but be aware, it's not really a "hotel" as the expedia listing may say. If you want a private room, be very careful to book that! We booked a family room, which was comfortable enough for our family of four. But be aware that there is no air conditioning, so you'll be opening your windows for cool air onto a noisy street. I would rate higher, given that it's a hostel and you don't expect five-star amenities, but several elements of the room were broken or not working well. Our room's shower barely worked, giving us just a trickle of water that never really warmed up. One of the windows was broken and wouldn't open properly, which was frustrating on a hot night. The area is walkable and safe, with the train station not far for easy access downtown, but there are not many restaurants nearby, so plan accordingly.

Beware, beyond here be monsters...
The only reason I chose this place over 5km out of the city centre was for the guest kitchen and the guest laundry. The guest laundry was out of order. No explanation given. Tough luck. The guest kitchen was a closet in the dungeon basement with a hotplate, bar freezer, a pot and a frying pan. Plates and cutlery had to be requested from the reception. The fridge handnt been cleaned out in so long that several mystery bags had living organisms starting their own attempt at evolving sentient life. A bottle of ketchup and mayo had frozen the selves in the rear wall's ice sheet for future archeologists to muse over. When alerting the front desk the kitchen clearly hadn't been cleaned in months the were very apologetic and I was assured that they were immediately contacting the cleaning staff to take care of it. 2 days later nothing had changed and you could still smell the room from 20m away, through a fire door. This visit has reminded me of what I always knew. A&O is designed for tour groups and highschool class trips to come in, stay a night, charge micro transactions for everything, and get you out 1-2 nights later. Keep that in mind when booking. The hotel was otherwise clean and well kept. But the place is designed to nickle and dime you for every little extra. Despite the name, it is not a hostel, it is part of the new trend of Corporate Hostel/hotel. Hostels are a dying breed in Europe. I wish you the best of luck in finding one
