Bare bra

Du får det som du betaler for. Lav standard, men verdt hver krone. Posisjon er sentralt, vennlige resepsjonister, rent bad og toalett, og helt fint rom. Det er gammel bygg derfor noe dårligere luft inne. Hvis du skal ha en enkelt kort opphold, nær alt du kan ikke gjøre feil ved å velge Central Hostel.

Liked: Amenities
very nice staff, lovely rooms and the atmosphere of being home: it’s a cosy place. I really like that coffee and tea are for free and that you have the possibility of using a fridge to store food and cook by yourself. The decoration is really nice as well and the staff is very friendly. Furthermore it’s not in the loud city centre but you can reach it by feet within 15 minutes. Also around this place there are many lovely cosy bars where you can meet lots of local people and also prices are lower than in the old town. I really liked my stay and would always come back
