We offer private parking for cars, motorbikes and bicycles, a rare plus in the city center. Guests can relax at our small rooftop swimming pool and sauna, perfect after a day of adventure.
The hostel features two fully equipped kitchens, thoughtfully designed common areas, and comfortable, well-decorated rooms that make you feel at home. It’s a beautiful place — comfortable and stylish, but still a real hostel, social and welcoming.
