My expectations were low due to various reviews. So I'm all the more pleased that it's much better than expected.
The staff is always friendly, the shared bathroom is clean and absolutely sufficient for a hostel, beds are made daily and fresh towels are put in the room.
During the day and at night it is (apart from the ventilation / heating) quiet, you hardly hear other guests.
The bed is quite hard, but that's exactly how I find it comfortable. The only disadvantage: the bed squeaks extremely and movements on the mattress are passed on (stupid with a double bed). Nevertheless, I am very satisfied with the price and the location of the YMCA and can recommend the hostel, provided you have ear plugs in mind.
