Really nice place and neighbourhood, very central with many cafes and restaurants near, you can move really quick to the main point walking. Friendly and helpful staff. The kitchen is very cozy, tidy and was a nice place to meet with people and talk. Had a really good time there, definitively will choose it again.

Nice spacious individual space inside the dormitory, plenty of dining space, lots of activities and a good size kitchen.location is pretty good, just need to take tram 7 to get to the city, and it's really not very far. Because each floor has a large number of dormitories, you get to see a bunch of interesting people too. The staff were really helpful too

The accommodation was perfect and exceeded expectations in every sense. I liked most the functionality of the appartment in the situation of limited resources. The choice of kitchen utensils was very handy and practical, the planning of toilet and shower optimal. Everything was very clean. We are most satisfied with our stay.

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.

The hostel is incredibly clean, organized and well equipped. Great location, close to the train station and walking distance to the main tourist atractions. The pre-checking is super good and cheers to the staff for the lovely letter and clear instructions. Probably one of the best hostels that I've ever been, congrats.

This must be our 5th or 6th stay at CheapSleep. The place is squeaky clean and offers everything one needs from a youth hostel. We stayed in a very comfy private room, the shared showers and toilets were extremely clean. The bus stop for the public airport bus is just a 2min walk away and the 24/7 supermarket in the same building comes in handy. Great value!

It was the best hostel I've been. They have 8 bunk beds per room, but it is from a very good quality so theres no squeaking or any kind of annoying noise, the lockers under the bed have a really good size, you can fit around 2-3 lugadge of cabin size, and they also have an additiinal lugadge room. The kitchen and bathroom were very clean, and the commons areas very cozy and nice. The location is very good, with all kinds of public transportation in a radius of 2-3 blocks. And finally, the staff was absolutely lovely.
