Highly recommended

My friends and I stayed here for 2 days and they were the best. The place is maintained well and it’s very professional. The location is very central and everything is walking distance. Our first hostel experience was very good. Staff is amazing.

Great commonroom and a nice location

This hostel has great common areas so people were using them alot which made it a very social hostel (with some activities). I really enjoyed that. The rooms very fine - I have nothing bad to say about them. They had what I needed. The bathfacilities were also fine. The staff was really friendly and understanding. The location of the hostel is very good. The only unfortunate situationen was, that the place was under renovation when I was there - but thats only good for future travellers cause then the place will be even better.

Stayed in a 4 bed shared. Staff was mostly nice. They gave me a padlock to use during my stay. Toilets were terrible. Showers were not as bad as toilets but smelling bad. My room took all the outside noise. Breakfast was terrible.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This hostel is fine for a night or two, not very clean, bedrooms are kind of set up awkwardly, but the lockers are big enough for all your stuff. The bathrooms weren’t the cleanest and the walls were a bit dirty in my room, but all areas just seemed a bit grimey. The breakfast was cheap and good which was a nice option, there was also a larger kitchen area that a lot of people seemed to be using.

Zimmer sind leider nicht so wie auf den Abbildungen, nicht alle Betten haben einen Vorhang, die Temperatur ließ sich nicht regeln, bei offenem Fenster war es sehr laut. Sauberkeit der Toiletten sehr gut, in der Ecke wo die Matratze lag, war es etwas schmutzig. Kissen zu dick und hart. Personal superlieb und hilfsbereit!
