“Great location but very limited quality”
Perfect location - 10 minutes to the railway station, the same to the Old Town highlights. Pretty comfy beds. Cleaness acceptable. Instant check in and check out.

The hostel is cozy inside, and the bed was decent. However, the ladder to the top bunk is very uncomfortable, and there is no shelf by the bed for personal belongings. Each room has lockers with automatic locks, which seemed secure enough — at least nothing was stolen during my stay. The self-check-in instructions were very detailed and easy to follow. The hostel provides plenty of information, so you won't get lost and will have no trouble finding your room and bed.

“City break”
The place is clean, vintage decorations but not old fashion boring, a small stream by the balcony, breakfast was nice, close to most objectives in the city center. Strongly recommend for short city breaks and more! 🙏🍾❤️🛳️🌐🧳
