AQ's balcony spaces are the best in town and a great place to enjoy a drink in the sun. The lounge and dining areas are spacious for a small hostel, which allows plenty of room to chill out, work nomadically or meet new friends. You'll be cooking up a feast in our superbly equipped kitchen that features everything from crockpot's to food processors.

Our friendly staff can help you plan your activities, as well as a separate storage/locker room with secure bicycle parking and ski & snowboard storage. We offer loads of free stuff, and even provide a simple laundry service.
