Nice spot for a short affordable stay. Only complaint was that towels, etc. were not included in the pricing. I do not know if this is typical in European countries, but otherwise a convenient location with plenty to do nearby.

Rooms with the curtains were nice. Showers could be better. The whole demographic seemed older when I was there so didn’t love that personally but otherwise loved the place!

I was a solo female traveller. Stayed in a female dorm. All amenities were clean and the hostel itself was quiet, despite being just off the main road. Friendly, welcoming staff.

Ideal spot

Wish I tried this earlier in my trip. This is walking distance from main train station and is centrally located to key sites that a weary traveler would need. You can’t really go wrong staying here.
