A lovely stay for one night! Lots of families & big communal areas with a nice patio & bar. It was a little hot & there were no privacy curtains. Communal bathroom/shower was clean & it was nice to have a sink in the room for a quick clean up. It was also nice to use your card as your key for a locker. A bit of a walk up hill from the train/bus station, but still very accessible.

Very convenient location next to a bus stop. Bathrooms were not very clean, but serviceable. Only two toilets for our floor which created a bit of an issue at times. No towels were provided. Excellent buffet breakfast. Superb common areas for lounging and dining.

Book this hostel! No need to look for any others

This is probably one if not THE best hostel I've stayed in so far during my Europe trip. Breakfast is amazing, room is spacious, bathrooms are clean (in fact the cleaning lemon-y soap they use can be overpowering to smell but it dissipates after a while). Staff is welcoming and helpful. A bit far from city center so you need to walk far or take the tram but it's very close to grocery stores and supermarkets. It's amazing. Love this hostel!
