Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Nice , clean place with basic facilities to be used as an economy hotel. At reception, they have vending machines, water, microwave etc which Imagine is quite helpful. We had a triple room with one bunk bed.. it was cozy. Room size and bathroom size are small but this is expected given it is a budget hotel.

    One of the best Hostels I've ever stayed in! Everything clean and organized. The bed is good, spacious and dark to sleep. (and with lights that regulate) Perfect location. bathroom with sink, shower and toilet together. (It makes it a lot easier.)

    Very friendly staff, they allowed us to leave our bags in the hostel safely during the day even after check-out and even lent us two umbrellas for the day (rain was expected). Exceptional cleanliness and great location, great value for money.

    Probably the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in.😊 The staff were super friendly and accommodating, everything was very tidy, clean and so well furnished. The kitchen was always spotless with all the utensils you could ask for and the toilet/showering facilities were amazing! A 15-minute walk to the train station meant it was also a great location 😊

    The house is stunning, the view are out of this world! The Rainer has set up the house is perfect, its the best hostel I have stayed so far. Rainer is a dedicated and friendly host, so attentive. He really makes everyone welcome and is so friendly. He makes the experience so much more enjoyable. As a female solo traveller I felt so safe. I will certainly come back and recommend to all
