Lovely hostel, great for meeting people”

Free breakfast and beer (during beer nights) were included in my stay, and the staff were absolutely lovely. The room itself was kept clean and my bed came with a locker underneath. I happened to stay during the colder season, but the bathrooms came fully equipped with water heaters and bidets. Met amazing people through beer nights and through roommates. I'll come by here again, for sure.

Good value for money a very quiet area”

I would recommend this hostel, I think it was quite cheap, quieter than we expected, staff was very friendly and helpful. The area is also great, in the old city and we walked to a lot of sightseeing points we wanted to visit. Only downside is the furniture that is old fashioned (especially bathroom) and the fact common areas are not so big nor crowded with other visitors so maybe less easy to meet people than in other hostels.
