Amazing value for the price. The bed was very comfortable and close to electric sockets. Lockers are available with sockets inside, so you can leave your electronic devices safe while charging. It's a huge place with terrace, bar, a big lounge, even a cinema roulette. There lounge is very colorful with graffiti, and it provides several games (table tennis, fussball, board games etc.). The kitchen is small, but clean and has everything you need. They encourage you to eat in the lounge or terrace. There is a very nice vibe. The staff was extremely friendly. I arrived late and they didn't make an issue of it. Instead, they kept the kitchen open longer for me to eat dinner. The staff even provided a box of vegetables to eat for free. Breakfast was also very good. I saw they also rent out bikes and canoes but I didn't use the service.

Definitively, this is one of THE BEST hostels in Europe. From the historical building and incredible restoration work, the location, the staff, the attention to details and the desire to satisfy their client to the best ability, this hostel deserves its high rating, and more. I was completely swayed by the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, the lounge area AND the kitchen, bar and drink vending machine, incredibly affordable and spacious lockers, the views from the window and the overall energy in the building. I've met great people during my stay and would go as far as to recommend this over a hotel to stay over for a mini trip, whether alone or with friends.

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.

    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.
