Nice comfy room and bed. Clean. THIN WALLS! The staff was very friendly and helpfull. Close to everything and easy to get around by foot, bus, tram and metro. Very friendly and nice hotel/hostel with activities. The only problem was the thin walls so bring headphones or plugs. Would recommend for the price (Euro 30-40 / night Singel room) Best regards

My second time here and perfect stay again! Last time I stayed in a private room but this time none available so stayed in a dorm, also excellent! Spotlessly clean, good width and length of beds, linen looks brand new, comfortable, respectful room mates and lovely and quiet so easy to get good nights sleep! Great common shared spaces for socialising or working. Excellent strength wifi. I liked the area, right by the tram and metro making getting around easy. Delicious fresh and varied breakfast well worth it with cooked food (bacon, eggs, beans), pastries, fresh fruits and juice machine, the lady at breakfast Olga is very friendly and constantly ensures everything is topped up and clean and fresh. Highly recommend!
