A bit pricey but still worth it although it can get noisy outside because you’re on the Main Street.

Good stay overall. It is a bit noisy with street noise (workers at 6:30am on Sunday) but ear plugs are provided. Basic kitchen and room had own fridge. Sauna in basement is great if the schedule works for you. Self check-in was smooth with a unique door code that works for all doors. Great location not far from train station and on main shopping street with many food options and a grocery close by.

Not worth the price

Pros: - good Wi-Fi - easy to find - check in instructions are sent via sms Cons: - Shower drain in 2 showers were broke and water was flooded - Sauna is not every day - The rooms doors are very noisy when being closed , it will slap very hard if you don’t hold it and when that happen, you can feel beds are shaking/ vibrating - Uncomfortable hard bed / pillows can be renewed - very Late check in 16:00 and early check out 11:00 - not worth the amount I paid at all (~65€)

No frills, no fuss Hostel

This is a no frills, no fuss Hostel right in the centre of the downtown area. It's still quiet even during a concert, partly because there are no windows. The shared facilities (showers, kitchen and wc) are located in the centre with the rooms around the edges. So other guests could be a problem, but we had no such issues. Parking is an issue, it's more suitable for those travelling with public transport

Great destination for introverts. Check-in is automated, and all rooms are private and secure. Kitchen facilities are small and disappointingly basic. Facility is impeccably clean and well kept, reasonable priced, and smack in the middle of the downtown hub.
