Great, cosy hostel. The beds are very comfortable and everything is extremely clean. It's definitely worth the price and it's very-well located, close to tram stops to get you into the city center. The staff were very friendly and kind; overall the ambiance was extremely calm and positive. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Staffs are very friendly and accommodating. No issues during my stay. Well maintained hostel. I stayed at all-ladies dorm and had no problem sharing with other girls as the hostel is pretty quiet. Very close to train station and so location is very accessible to roam around the city.

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.
