Hostels have become more comfy and also with some privacy with curtains. As stayed only one night couldnt really get to know the other guests though. Locker with door key, bit louder if somebody went to WC and didn't close door fully. Even over a weekend it was all clean and not too loud.

The location up on the Hill gives it such a special atmosphere, with greenery and views of the city. The hosts Julien and Stefan were kind, funny and attentive, really making a difference in my stay. The house itself is clean, cozy, and has a great community feel. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants something more personal and memorable than just a standard stay. I cant wait to visit again!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location of the hostel, you can reach it by walking from the train station as well. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and the air condition was decent - it was cool enough in the room but not too cold for me to get sick. I really appreaciated the sockets were located above each bed. The bathroom in the room was also really appreciated. In general, I think this is one of the best hostels I have ever visited, especially for such decent price! I would definitely love to come back one day!

    We stayed here for a stag do for two nights. What a great place to stay, its very cheap! There was a bar below our rooms that stayed open till 6am with music and food. So after our night out we would come back here to finish the night. It's in a great location bang in the middle for all bars, food and drink. The rooms were fab, the showers were really good for a hostel, powerful. You get a locker in your room too so its very safe. The staff were really helpful.
