The design of the hostel is amazing and it's not just the looks, they take care of the whole building. I really enjoyed how the beds were, you can separate yourself with the moving walls of the bed and there are little holes for ventilation. For a hostel you can have pretty good privacy. I also liked that your locker under the bed can be only opened by your card so other's won't be able to use it like it might happen in other hostels. The pool is not big of course, but it's still great that a hostel has a pool :) The breakfast was a bit portion with healthy options.

I've never stayed in a hostel before, but compared to the others around the area, this looked far better. I was right it was good. The 4 staff I met were all very very helpful, and kept the place very clean. The common area is great for chatting, and meeting new people, or just a place to chill after a busy day. The kitchen facilities are excellent, if you want to do your own cooking, there was even tea and coffee if you needed it. The showers and toilets were again very clean. I stayed in an 8 bed dorm. Yes it can be a little daunting for the first time, but it was surprisingly quiet. Everyone was considerate towards the other guests, and didn't make any noise. Obviously there's snoring, and people getting up make little noise but if you're sleeping, you don't notice it. The bed was comfortable. Had a sheet and a duvet, and it was lovely and warm. There's a curtain on the bed and it feels private, even in a room with 7 others. There's also a light and a power point and a phone holder in each bed. There's also a big store drawer under the bed. Slept really well too. The room is secure. The main door is secure. The WiFi is excellent. Overall it was an excellent pick, and I'd definitely recommend this place.

We stayed just for one night. Although we didn't see the host, they sent clear instructions on how to open the apartment. The room was small, and the bed was good to sleep.

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.
