    Excellent location, beds very ok with possibility to charge the phones, presence of a kitchen (but which close at 10 pm) , all what we can expect for a hostel is present. And the day staff is very welcoming and kind.

    The hostel’s location was excellent and everything was spotless. I really appreciated the socket and phone holder above each bed which was very practical! The bathrooms were among the cleanest I’ve ever seen in a hostel. Big thanks to the staff.

    It was a great place to stay for the price I paid. The common area can get a little crammed but then it was never insufficient. The location is a short walk away from the bus and train stations.
