AnetaSolo traveller - 6.0Scored 6.0PleasantRated pleasant· 24 reviewsThe guy was a sweetheart, and didn't mind at all that it was nearly midnight when I checked in, or when I rang the doorbell thinking it was a light switch. Also I didn't feel remotely unsafe, despite being on my own. It was great having an affordable room of my own, (as I'm a bit long in the tooth to be staying in a dormitory) and having access to a kitchen (fridge, tap water).HilarySolo traveller
- Avg. price/night: € 150.108.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 6,447 reviewsWonderful place, great location, very nice staff. Above expectations! This is a full-fledged hotel, not a hostel. Very clean!! . Very quiet in the rooms, despite the location in the very historical center. Excellent cuisine. On the ground floor there is a bar, a relaxation area, and billiards. Luggage storage 24/7. Very nice people at the reception. Good showers in the rooms, comfortable beds. The best location for this price and even higher!

It was situated in a quiet little area, yet only a few minutes walk from a busy area so you felt safe walking back in the evenings. Coeo staff were based at the main hostel building no more than a 5 minute walk from the apartment and were incredibly helpful via WhatsApp and were happy to store our luggage after checkout until we left for our flight. Would highly recommend Coeo and would definitely stay here again.AlexFamily with young children
