The staff are very kind, and the location is in the city centre, very close to the places of interests. The bed is pretty comfortable, I like it. The shower room is very nice. It feels that you have your own private space.

Very clean, calm and well equipped. It is a basement, but with good illumination. A little pricey for a hostel, but worthy. The lockers for individual luggage are quite big. There's the possibility of leave your bags after the check out.

I liked that we could quickly check in on our mobile phone before arrival and that we used it to open the doors. Very modern. The accommodation is more of a hostel style. The area is nice, modern neighborhood with lots of restaurants and shopping nearby.

The hostel has a chill vibe. The room was comfortable, quiet and clean. Nice touch is that you can grind your own coffee in the morning. The location is excellent. The receptionist Mia was friendly and welcoming.

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.

Great location of the hostel, you can reach it by walking from the train station as well. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the air condition was decent - it was cool enough in the room but not too cold for me to get sick. I really appreaciated the sockets were located above each bed. The bathroom in the room was also really appreciated. In general, I think this is one of the best hostels I have ever visited, especially for such decent price! I would definitely love to come back one day!

We stayed here for a stag do for two nights. What a great place to stay, its very cheap! There was a bar below our rooms that stayed open till 6am with music and food. So after our night out we would come back here to finish the night. It's in a great location bang in the middle for all bars, food and drink. The rooms were fab, the showers were really good for a hostel, powerful. You get a locker in your room too so its very safe. The staff were really helpful.
