Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    It is a chique hostel in the city centre. I stayed in a single room with it's own bathroom. It's cheaper than hotel rooms in in a similar location. The kitchen facilities that were well taken care off are a huge plus. There isn't any breakfast in the hotel, but there are plenty of cafés, bakeries and supermarkets close by.

    This hostel was perfect for us as a group of young students travelling for a university meeting. It's budget friendly, simple and clean, staff was very nice too. We liked the ecological concept and their work and we are happy to support the school with our stay

Supermarkets aren’t too far away. Very very luxe looking furnishings. Extremely clean. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Kitchen was awesome! Lounge area was super comfortable with good wifi. I have nothing but praise!!! Also it was VERY good value for money.
