+ friendly staff + good facilities — for the price, you could hope for more comfort in bed and room, less noise from the club outside in the evenings. this wasn‘t so pleasant. — big minus: when its hot outside, the rooms inside are even hotter. in the night it doesn‘t cool down, it‘s really hard, but nothing what the hostel could do about — pub quiz was way too long and the host didn‘t do his job really good, plus he was kinda drunk

Very cosy hostel. I loved the free tea corner. It has a kitchen and a very nice common area. It is very close to the Station and City center. Great place, you just have to know that at the week end it gets very loud outside, because of the club next door. Besides that i could definitely recommend
