    If you want to work it is a little bit difficult because the lounge is spacious but not separated from the cafe

    It was very clean

    Immaculately clean hostel ran by the friendly owner & his super team. Location could not be better as it's in the heart of the city just a few steps from the old Market Square . Special thanks to the young Irish lady on reception for her help checking in & for listening to my stories. Little things can make a big difference & the owner has done everything perfectly here, very comfy beds, nicely designed rooms with black out curtains , super showers & perfect staff. If you want evening entertainment you're spoiled for choice as there's plenty restaurants , bars & cafes in the area. I highly recommend staying here to anyone that has the chance.

    I loved the staff, cleanliness of the hostel, everything is less than a 5 minute walk.

    Unfortunately not a 10, but minus 2 points. The hostel is next to a club. Allthough the hostel provides free earplugs, the low bass sounds is something you will feel lying in your bed. Best thing you can do is turn on the airconditioning and create white noise to distract you from this.

    The staff is so nice and very helpful! The hostel is very clean. There is a kitchen you can use. You can eat your food in their bar. Two supermarkets in walking range. Towels can be rented if you forgot to bring your own. I loved the curtain you can close, so you can create privacy sleeping in your bed. Located in the middle of the city centre, so everything was less than a 5 minute walk: trainstation, bars, clubs, tourist centre, market, shops, theater, concert hall, a casino. I was there during the summer. The city sometimes organizes events. I enjoyed a free classical concert on friday and a free sing-a-long concert on saturday in the city square. Beautiful parks nearby. There was a festival at Volkspark and every saturdaymorning at 9:00 am, there is a free Parkrun at Van Heekpark, so you can run/walk a 5K parcours or be a volunteer. The tourist office offers a guided citywalk on saturday. You can climb the church tower on sunday. Around the corner I found a micro brewery Stanislaus Brewskovitch located in a church. Enjoyed dinner and their draught beer in the secret garden. The hostel itself is next to the oldest café of Enschede. I you want to have a drink and step back into time go to ‘t Bolwerk. If you want to combine your stay with a run plan your stay during Enschede Marathon or one of the other races during the year.

    unnecessarily complicated check-in, i'm not crazy about places spamming you with semi-important information about your stay. and you get charged extra for a towel - add three euros to the regular price and you have clean guests!

    spotless clean, cool/cute design. locker under your bed (with padlock), light, socket, shelf, courtain for privacy - well thought through! walking distance to the train station. i ended up having the dorm to myself and it was a weekday - i can't relate to the noise complaints of other reviews

    i wasn't prepared for the fact that this establishment lies in the middle of the party area, gave some noise.

    staff was super friendly, talkative which i like. the design of the hotel is flawless and impressive. hallways exceptionally clean. bed was suprisingly comfortable.

    There was nothing that I did not like during the trip.

    I like the beds and the pod that the guests received. The blinds blocked out all light, my bed was made for me, and the little stars atop your bed were really cute. All of the facilities were incredibly clean. I did not spend much time downstairs, but the common area and kitchen looked great. Password locks on every door made me feel safe, and the monkey motif throughout the hostel was cute. The staff were nice, helpful and pleasant through out my stay.

    Check out time is a bit early. Also, the room could use a bit more hangers for clothing, now each bed only has one and that's used for you jacket. Both are minor details, the hostel itself is perfect!

    Excellent location right in the centre of Enschede. Beds sleep perfect and include a curtain for privacy. Showers are great! Place is clean and well maintained. Doors are locked with a passcode so very convenient not having to carry a key. There's a bar attached to the hostel as well for some snacks and drinks. All in all a perfect hostel!

    The prices are kinda high for a hostel

    Tge property is right in the heart of Enschede, close to the train station, the bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. The place was very clean and everything was brand new. The beds are comfortable, and the curtains gave me a feeling of privacy. Regarding the staff, everyone was very helpful and willing to help if you needed something. Additionally, I loved the lounge place. It was quite and ideal for studying.
