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.

    It's a beautiful apartment, love the location - super easy to walk to the city center, but also has a small shopping center next to the house. The apartment is cozy, the host is very welcoming and check-in was seamless. If you travel with a car, you can park it in the yard that is separated by a brick wall from the street so your car is also safe during your stay.

    Since it's a dormitory, the rooms are made to live in. Spacious, with wardrobes and tables and chairs. 3 rooms share a toilet and a shower, plus a big kitchen with all the cultery and a kettle and fridge.

    The apartment was warm and well decorated, all the things that you need there. Instructions for entry were very clear, although my messages would not update on booking app, I called the number and the lady got back to me immediately and sorted it out. 10/10 for that. Overall, it's a lovely building, great location, great facilities and staff communication

    One of the best hostels I’ve ever been to. Great overall atmosphere. Kitchen, bathrooms, hallways were all not only clean, but taken care of with love. The staff was incredibly welcoming. I was a big fan of the upcycled furniture in the hostel.

    A great place to sleep at a fantastic price point. If you just want to lay your head down somewhere with a roof over you, this dormitory is perfect for that. Nearby is a Selver ABC and a sandwich fast food restaurant. The place is very safe.

    Decent hostel with good location and very convenient, hassle free self check in. Safe parking in fenced area. Fancy colored and furnished. Fair enough breakfast (classical music was playing in the background [Mozart]), what is not quite common for such places.
