ソフィーズ ホステル

The location is great — just a few minutes’ walk from the station and close to the National Museum. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the staff were very nice. The lady at reception even let me check in early since the bed was available, and they also have a luggage room you can use for free after check-out. The room was more like a studio, with a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. I stayed in a 5-bed female-only room, which was quite spacious with plenty of room for everyone. There’s also a big long mirror, which I really liked, and the heating was on, making the room feel very warm and cozy. The only thing I didn’t like was that the toilet and shower were in the same room. It would be better if they were separate so you don’t have to wait when someone just wants to use the toilet quickly. Also, the tiles under the toilet were cracked and made noise when I sat down — it felt like they could break at any moment. The bathroom also had a slight urine smell, and since the shower didn’t have a door or curtain, the floor got wet after someone showered. There were no bed curtains either, so there’s not much privacy, and when someone came back late and turned on the light, it disturbed my sleep. Overall, it’s not a bad hostel, but hopefully these things can be improved.
