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.

Big and confortable bed with curtain, shelf and a socket to charge devices. Also big lockers in the room and helpful staff. It was also no problem with check in at night. Although it was not the cheapest, but for this quality it was still a good price. One of the best hostels I have ever been to. :)

I stayed in the 4-bed female dormitory. The bed was super comfy, the bulk has curtains to offer privacy. Each guest has a spacius locker to use, you don'y need to use your own padlock. Bathrooms and common areas are very clean. Complimentary tea and coffee. Helpful and friendly staff. The hostel is easy to reach by public transportation. It's located closed to downtown. I felt safe.

The hostel is just in front of the subway station. It was reasonably clean and offered a minimum for a cheap stay over. It will provide the essencial if you need just a place to sleep.
