Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Impeccable sound proofing (0 noise in room). Room was spacey with comfy beds.

    Young lady at reception was really very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. She changed our room, as we wanted a quiet room away from all the young bloods. Room was good and was just like staying in a budget hotel, very basic and clean. Bed for me was very comfortable and firm, just as I like it! Bathroom was small and practical. Overall, really impressed considering we've never stayed in a hostel/hotel before!

    The hostel itself is nice once you get inside. It is in a dodgy area but they let you know this when you book and you can cancel for free if this changes your mind. I felt very safe inside the hostel! It was quite clean and offered free tea and coffee which is nice! There is plenty of space inside the hostel to relax and lots of people order Uber eats and just drink at the hostel so you don’t have to leave of an evening.

    Very helpful staff and a nice location for easy transportaion. The area is a little bit unsafe but the hostel managed this by several sevurity precautions. My room was in 7th floor so I didn’t have any problem with the noise outside. Shared bathrooms, kitchen and room were super clean. I would stay again in this hostel.

    Close enough to the airport to be a good stop-over place to sleep. The room had a decent size, but the interior reminded me more of a youth hostel than of a hotel. Clean and comfy enough for a night of decent sleep before traveling on.

    As I was stopping over night, location next to train station was excellent and in walking distance with large suitcase. Sound proofing was excellent Felt that the hotel staffed made sure only guests entered which made me feel safe
