Quite small rooms as expected on a boat but they have a pretty good breakfast the only bad thing was a really loud argument between the staff very early in the morning about 2am, close to the library with free internet.

Vita nova is very convenient because of its location. The rooms are a little tiny for 3 people but it's nothing compared to the rest! Good choice!

As the other reviews point out it's a boat so expect tiny (but private) cabins. The boat has two levels and there are beautiful views if you can get a room on the top deck. There's a good free breakfast. No wifi despite claims to the contrary (they have now removed the claims). Pleasant staff though, very friendly and I would stay there again.

I dunno why all those people are nagging about the bathrooms. I've seen worse. The shower was too hot, ok. And you can hear every word your neighbor says, but it's very nice to stay there. It's quiet and pretty good located in the center of the town. You just need about 15 minutes to walk there from the station. I would stay there again. =)

A cosy boat. Close to centralstation and city. Very good breakfast. Only sliced vegetables missing. The beds are not so comfortable. The could be softer. The rooms and toilets are small, but it works.

Hands down one of the best hostels ever, itäs less of a hostel and more of a house boat with small rooms for two, which if you are traveling in pairs, is perfect. Each room has its own sink and shower, closet and lock to the room so you dont need to use a locker! Breakfast is also good, and the staff is really helpful and nice. I would say the only down side is that its set up to be more like a hotel and less like a hostel in the sense that people staying there dont hang out in the common space,

great hostel, the staff was really nice. only downside is the toilet is in with the shower so you have to wait for people showering.
