The staff is helpful and the beds are sturdier and less noisy than most other places.

Joel Germany

Nice and helpful smiling staff. - Perfect location close to the train station as well as the main attractions. - Comfortable beds with privacy curtains. - Home feeling where one can meet other travelers.

Maqdoni Jordan

Perfect location in the centre next to a big street with many bus options. The hostel has a friendly vibe, lots of travellers chatting and a nice common area. We didn't get to spend much time there because we arrived late. The room was spacious and decorated nicely, and the breakfast was fine.

Minne Netherlands

Friendly and welcoming staff. Family dinner to get to know other travelers. Convenient location.

Nicholas United States of America

The room and bathroom were super clean and the bed was comfortable. Great staff.

Raquel Brazil

Everything, except there is a bit of a shortage of toilets as the three toilets are in the individual shower rooms. Shower rooms fantastic! Best breakfast ever!!!!! Large rooms with privacy curtain. Beds set up for maximum privacy. Fantastic staff. Small hostel but setup well for socializing.

Tamara United States of America

Really unique place to stay at! very homey feel to it, nice and cosy. Staff is really nice and the beds had some privacy. This is a really charming and lovely hostel to stay at. Would love to come back.

From the first minute I was there I felt so welcome in the hostel. The common areas are well decorated and the people liked to stay there and chat with each other. The hostel also organises weekly activities for every one to join, to which I'm so sad I couldn't go due to my schedule. The hostel also had everything you need to have a comfortable stay. I would totally recommend it.
