About

Beautiful 19Th century townhouse, build with stone and wood and fully restored in 2013. We have created a cosy environment, so that our guests can feel at home.

Big beautiful garden, comfortable dorms and double rooms.

Very good hostel overall, however a couple issues are having to go down one floor to use the bathroom and the fact that the kitchen is only open from 8:30am so you won’t be able to get in until then.

THIS PLACE HAS BEDBUGS!! They were in EVERY BED IN OUR ROOM (8 beds in total). Because of this, we had to throw away our backpacks and many of our clothes. To make matters worse, I even found a bedbug hiding in one of the holes in my phone after we left. This was an incredibly stressful experience, and I would never recommend staying here. Avoid this place.
