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 location was perfect. Rooms and beds were clean. Moreover, I didn't hear even a single squeak from the bunk bed. Breakfast was extraordinary. I have never seen so many varieties for breakfast in any youth hostel before. There were sockets even in the lockers. No need for padlock. There was combination on lockers. No deposite for the key cards. Definetely everything was so perfect.

    Big dormitory. A lot of space to put your belongings. Natural light. Nice cleaning. No noise. Great kitchen to cook in, but you need to bring dishwashing products and a sponge to wash your plates and stuff... The location might be 10 minutes by train from the city centre, but you have everything you need nearby the hostel. From a huge supermarket with great and cheap meal options, to pharmacies and restaurants

    This place is good for a few nights if you are on a budget. Despite being a youth hostel, it is clean. Regarding noise, it really depends on the other guests you will be with. For me, it was a bit loud late in the evening over the weekend, but ther other days were fine. It is a 10-minutes-walk away from a U-Bahn station from which you can reach the city center in about half an hour. All in all, my stay was pleasant.

    One of the best hostels i have stayed at, has a great location and great value for money. The staff was helpful, cool and friendly. The hostel seems new and is in a great shape. The hallways remind me of a hotel with thick carpets, cool walls and lovely fragrance. The room furnishing seems new, nothing cracks, everything works, beds are great and the pillow and the cover are not thin and tiny, but very big "meaty" hotelish. I am planning to stay here again.
