Super friendly staff and fellow travellers. Felt really comfortable, like a second home. Nice touch to have a reading, chatting area and kitchen outside of the rooms.

“Perfect for a shorter stay and exploring the city by foot!”

A small but clean and nicely decorated Hostel. The location is perfect for exploring: you’re on the other side of the street right by the Balmoral and the train station. Staff and fellow travellers were friendly. Beds were good, you get an extra blanket. Take a lock for the locker with you.
