What I absolutely loved was the breakfast buffet and also the public transport ticket which is also included in the price. The architecture is beautiful, minimal and brutalist with exposed steel and concrete. During my stay, the vibe was in a way business casual, people would have early breakfast and head out for work, in the evening there were people engaged in calm and quiet conversations over a cup of tea or a glass of wine. In general the place was very peaceful and quiet during my stay of 3 nights.

I like that I had a lake view even though I didn't book it before and I really really loved my room. The bed was very cozy and clean, the room was perfect, the location is right next to the lake and in a safe neighbourhood where you can walk around. You feel safe even at night. Also the shared bathrooms were nice and clean and no one was there when I was there. The price was perfect for what I got, will definitely stay there again soon.

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.

    Food was really good, it’s was the first time I’d pay for the hostel food and I wasn’t disappointed, I got spring roll with rice and nice carrot soup. Almost everything in my meal was vegan!

    Surprisingly clean for a youth hostel. The included breakfast has extensive choices.

    Before booking this hostel I had a really terrible night. I felt very bad but thanks to Mösyö Philipa I felt better and safe. He was very helpful. I spent the whole day in my room because I didn't want to go anywhere but only sleep and rest. So I cannot say more about the facility but the staff were all smiling and helpful. Thank you so much Mösyö Philipa.
