The hostel is very clean and quiet, especially for being right in the middle of the party district. I could not hear any noise outside. I would highly recommend if you want to stay in the area and still sleep. The train station is a 3 minute walk , there is food all over, everything you need right there without sacrificing comfort or paying for an expensive hotel.

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.
