The staff was incredibly friendly—especially David and the Italian girl (which I can’t unfortunately recall her name right now) at the reception! They were very kind and helped us with any questions we had without hesitation.

Our plane got delayed so we had to check in at like 2am. The staff was very nice about it and didn't make it a problem. We stayed in a 6 person bedroom but it was really no issue at all, they even have an extra toilet downstairs. I have to comment how to this day that was the comfiest bed I have ever slept in! All the beds also have little curtains and lights so you can do your own thing, and a lot of chargers! Chargers not only next to your pillow but also all over the room. The bathroom has a walk in shower which was cool. Especially loved the living room/kitchen. They have breakfast available till 11am if I remember correctly but we never took on the offer since we spent all our days exploring. I just need to give a little shoutout to the home cat Mishka who is so friendly and cute. They even have merch of her! Free wifi, breakfast, a cat, outdoor area for smokers, comfy bad, great location that's good connected to the city, LGBT welcoming, would love to spend my nights there of having the chance!

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.
