A cosy place for an overnight or slightly longer stay. Very central and enjoyable!

Upon arrival front door was locked and no way to get in (great secruity) - after having local businesses call to no avail, we knocked on windows & had to wake up an off duty staff member. Never really saw any other staff. Bathrooms are fantastic. Bed are comfy & rooms are a good size. Ask them to turn the heating. Would reccomend. :)

This night was the most horrible of my travels ! Peoples were speaking and drinking bear in the room while we were sleeping, until 5amin the morning !! nobody was here from the staff to stop them, because they was not listening to our complain. However all the room was dirty, and also the bathroom. This is really a bad place to stay !   Read Owner Comments

welcoming athmosphere, friendly staff, clean and well-equipped kitchen, nice lounge to hang around, bathrooms not too spacious but clean...some mildew on the ceiling of our room, quite humid air throughout the building, but overall a nice place to stay even for several nights

Kind staff, nice kitchen to meet other backpackers, very clean. A nice hostel of good quality as far as the price is concerned. Walking distance from the city center.

A good basic hostel, key code system for the doors didn't feel very secure but otherwise fine.

It was a little farther out than we thought, but it was very nice, and the showers are phenominal. It was a little confusing at times who was working there and who were other guests, but it had a good kitchen, and our room was fair sized, though the beds were a little springy. The staff we did find were extremely helpful, though.

do have great showers as you dont have to hold in a button the whole time. but quickly runs out of hot water when more than 2 people take a shower. breakfast is free but not made for you, there for you to use whenever. pretty sweet. would stay there again.
