The best hostel ever. The breakfast is super nice, the people who work there are the BEST. I never stayed in a more friendly hostel. You sit in that kitchen and you make 10 friends. I reeeeally loved it.

“Nice”
I really enjoyed my stay here. Staff is super friendly and helpful - if you need anything, they immediately are ready. I couldn’t reach my locker because I am not tall enough, and they lended me a small thingy to stand on; even though they needed it for themselves. Also, in de kitchen in the evening is was very cozy and people were socializing, which was nice. I met some nice people there.
