The location is great. Centrum...and right by the river and a bridge. Very chilled place, that really represent ZEN. I also like the cute little attention cards that are available in each room and/or facility, in case you feel that they need a bit more attention. You just take one, and just drop them off at the reception. No stress. I didnt need to use one, but what a wonderful idea. Thank you.

most of all i like to thank the owner of the property, because of humanity and behaviour to guests. when we came it was early for check up. but there was nice cleaner who cleaned the room and gave us keys earlier. also when we left we asked to keep our baggage in lockers and till 22:00 o’clock we were able to keep our luggage there and use main hall for rest. thank you for the excellent service provided!☺️

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.

    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.
