This is probably the best hostel I have ever stayed in Europe. The private room is not as small as hostel standard. The bathroom is very spacious. The kitchen is also very good.

Clean, safe, and comfortable. Appreciate having a sink in the room. Had a nice breakfast spread. Parking in front. Easy walk to restaurants. Bring slippers or sandals because they request you take your shoes off when you enter. Large, well equipped kitchen with 4 cooking stations.

Very well located close to the main road with easily accessible parking. Room was clean with comfortable bed and sink. There are two kitchens - one for general use with all kitchen utensils, fridges etc and one dedicated for breakfasts. Breakfast was also very good (waffles). It's worth mentioning very friendly and helpful staff. We've spent there 1 night.

Rooms could be a bit bigger (for a longer stay).
I was on a budget trip, so for 20 EUR I couldn't ask for more, I believe this standard would be worth like 5 times more in Paris etc. Amazing shower, well-equipped kitchen and decent (and clean) room was all I needed for one night stay. Did I mention jacuzzi?
