had a fantastic experience at this hostel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. I especially appreciated the secure lockers and the cozy common areas, perfect for relaxing or meeting other travelers. The location was great — close to public transport, restaurants, and key attractions. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a budget-friendly and welcoming stay!

Super welcoming host - I was offered a cup of tea at arrival :-) and several times during my stay. New hostels - all very functional, nice, clean and tidy. Very good location. The provided towels are really good!! (I experienced no towel or really old one in other hostels). Central without being in the middle of the noisy pubs/night clubs… Definitely recommend!
