The city is quite large and contains lot's of crossings, however there is a connection directly from the Train station (bus station near the train station), therefore it is manageable. Should you wish to take the train into the city, there is a stop not far from the hotel and you can get a shared city card for certain number of travels. Breakfast is the standard one with toasts, tea/coffee, therefore I would not call it rich, but is good to consider to start the day. In the city there are options to eat the breakfast for sure, however most points of sale focus on chocolate, waffles and sweets in general. At the reception you can get the city map that helps a lot to move around the city, which is another positive of this place.

Location is perfect in city center. The view I had was too beautiful. I wished the windows were bigger. The room was cosy but sometimes other people were a bit loud.

Kaba hostel was a great place to stay. It is very well connected by multiple buses to the train station. I stayed in a double room with attached bathroom. It was spacious enough, extremely clean and came with all necessary accessories like hair dryer, shampoo, towels, bed linen etc. There is also heating in the room. Window can be left open for ventilation. The neighbourhood and the hostel was quite when during our stay. The breakfast for 5euros was worth it. It felt like staying in a home. The kitchen was also neat and had all necessary aminitities. The lounge room was comfortable. There was provision to leave the luggage and go out before check-in and after check-out. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel to all.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

There is one clothes washer €5 as well as one clothes dryer €2 per load, of which the price is fairly reasonable. The hostel provided me with a lower-bunk bed as requested.

Everything was typically a youth hostel. The staff were very helpful. It's in the old town, so the attractions are easy walking distance. The staff told us about a free English speaking walking tour, that we could go on, and so we did, and it was great.

The staff are friendly, the shared space room is very cosy and you can get free delicious coffee and chat with strangers. The rooms are nice, and exceeded our expectations copared to what we paid. Bonus: the hostel is a 15mins walk from the center. Overall I liked everything and I would recommend it for a few days budget friendly stay.
