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.

    The bedroom is very nice. There is a huge kitchen super confortable for all the hostel's guests. Also the common spaces are good and clean. The location is perfect because is close to the central station and to the Ubahn but also 10 min walk to the center. I stayed for 5 nights to visit other close cities, I recommend for short and long stays.
