I struggled to understand why this hostel was reviewed so high. Positive: excellent breakfast. Negatives: the hostel is in need of TLC. The water coming out of showers was either very cold or icy. The bed was too short. You have no control over the light switch - I stayed 2 nights. Lights went off at 22.30 first night but stayed on until the next morning the day after. All and all I was not happy :( I struggled to understand why this hostel was reviewed so high. Positive: excellent breakfast. Negatives: the hostel is in need of TLC.

The best hostel I've stayed at so far. It is a beautiful building, a museum in its own right. The staff is super friendly! Having a kitchen to cook your own food is awesome but not as awesome as the amazing breakfast!!!! The only problem is the shower takes a while to warm up. Otherwise, the rooms are clean and the location is great too. I miss staying there.The best hostel I've stayed at so far. It is a beautiful building, a museum in its own right.

Good hostel, but disappointed that the free parking claimed on the website actually cost us 10 euro/night.Good hostel, but disappointed that the free parking claimed on the website actually cost us 10 euro/night....Close

Truly the best hostel I've ever stayed in, and well worth the extra money. I stayed in the three bedroom ensuite and my friends and I had an absolute blast. I highly recommend it.Truly the best hostel I've ever stayed in, and well worth the extra money. I stayed in the three bedroom ensuite and my friends and I had an absolute blast.
