“My stay was pleasant overall. The location was great and the price affordable. The family running the hostel were kind and kept the place clean. I especially appreciated the pancakes and coffee. The rules were reasonable and focused on respecting the space and other guests.”

“The central location is amazing—everything is within reach. The staff, including lovely Nina, make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The enforced rules ensure a serene atmosphere and a good night's sleep. The landlady's homemade soup was a delightful surprise, a chance to mingle with fellow guests in the equipped kitchen. Bottom beds are a great option for those who can't climb, and the bathrooms were clean. Despite the rules, socializing was easy with the fantastic people I met. The AC in one room is a bonus, and the free coffee is a nice perk. The curtains on the lower beds offer privacy. The kitchen is on the small side, but it does its best. Staying here was simply fantastic.”

The staff were friendly and helpful, especially Nina, who gave us great recommendations for places to eat and hang out. We met some cool people and had a great time partying together. Can't wait to come back.”
