Great hostel, it was modern, clean and comfortable. The downstairs is huge! There’s a pool table that you can play for free too.

Not a great welcome, a guest had to buzz me in through the entrance because there is no way of contacting reception from the outside. I wasn’t shown where the toilets are nor given the WiFi. (I obviously found the toilets myself which were obviously in the room but there was no verbal communication about this). No smoking area on site. Very cold and quiet atmosphere. No soap in toilets. Same price as another hostel that is better in all of these aspects. Wouldn’t recommend or stay again.

Das Zimmer und Bad war leider nicht gereinigt und nachts ist aus einem rohr in der Decke konstant Wasser gelaufen, wie aus einer Dusche, weshalb natürlich auch das ganze Bad nass war. Insgesamt sieht das Hostel zwar cool aus, ist aber auch sehr kühl und unserer Erfahrung nach nicht sehr sozial. Die Lage ist dafür super!
