Nice, central and very clean hostel. Great common room! Enjoyed discount in cooperating restaurants you get when you stay at this hostel. You can park your car quite cheap and arount 100 m next to the hostel!

The staff was super friendly and helpful. We almost got a small hotel room for a hostel price. In the common area, there were very nice armchairs.

Slightly disappointed that the charging station didn't work, so we woke up to find out cell phones were dead and not charged.
