Even though that the common area is rather small, the staff is very friendly and hospitable. There were always people to hang out with in the common area. I found the hostel to be comfortable, clean and on a great location right in the center.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean, warm and had all the things we needed. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was big and tasty with a bit of everything. The view from the rooftop was nice even on the rainy days. The staff was helpful and friendly. The area was quiet but still close to the main attractions and easy access to the tram.

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.
