Megan United Kingdom

We had a very warm welcome in the hostel. The location was really great en our room was clean. You can relax on the roof and there is a kitchen with some food.

Lotte Netherlands

Very good location in the city center, big rooms, good quality for the price. Overall good stay!

Jessica Spain

I stayed in a 6 beds dorm, all lower beds, no bunks. My bed was comfy and everybody was respecting each other. So I had a nice sleep and a nice stay. The place is not for people with mobility problems, because bathroom and showers and kitchen are up un long stairway. Really easy acces to all transports, restaurants and old town sites. I recommend this place

Monic Canada

The hostel was very nice and quiet. The standard of bathrooms could be a little better, but for the price it was okay. The hosts offered small snacks for breakfast for everone, so that was really cool. Also, there was a tarrace with music, which is a plus :)
