    The location was good, very close to the train station, in a nice neighbourhood. The staff was really nice and helpful. The beds are comfortable. They store your luggage before check-in/after check-out. For a few nights, I can recommend it.

    The staff was very nice and polite and overall the hostel was clean and in a good shape. It was walking distance from the centre and had a lot of restaurants and bars closeby. Would definitely come back here again.

    May be it would to keep the hot water and the coffee machine separate from the kitchen to managed the traffic.

    All good! Possibility to eat on the terrace! The kitchen was big enough, well equipped,... The team was very nice. There is a room for luggages if you need some time to visit the city after checking out. You can park your car for free in some...
