The location is exceptional. The view from the room leaves a permanent impression and shows how beautiful the city is. The rooms themselves are clean and so are the bathrooms. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

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.
